Hi all,

Finally taken the plunge and moved to Fibre. Being a long time PlusNet user and happy with their service I opted to stay with them (plus they gave me a little discount) and therefore they dispatched one or their PlusNet Hub One units. Although Fibre hasn't been activated yet I though I'd spend some time setting up the new device to fit into my network and therefore just resulting in a cable swap over on the 'big day'.

Over the years I've relied heavily on the Think Broadband Quality Monitor (TBQM) to field the normal family questions of "Damm internet is down", "internet is slow" etc etc whilst I'm away from home (work). Seems the PN Hub One doesn't support ICMP so the TBQM is a sea of red right now.

Can someone recommend me a device or pair of devices (don't mind separate modem / router) to fit my needs - gigabit Ethernet, Wireless AC (if poss) and ICMP ?

Thanks in advance

John

If I've remembered the model number correctly, then a ZyXEL VMG8924-B10A may be appropriate for your needs.

You might find it helpful to spend some time reviewing the "stickied" posts under the Broadband Hardware heading.

Thanks. I did start to look at those but kinda 'glazed over' after a while. Lot of info to take in, but appreciate people take time and effort in compiling that data.
