Hi all!
Just signed up to plusnet and i am using their standard router & the BTOR modem.
I have hard a few stories of the supplied router being of poor quality and reliability so i was looking to change to something a little better.
From a quick scan, i was looking at this...

Would this be a good replacement? I don't mind spending a bit more if need be, however, seeing as i won't be getting 100Mb plus broadband, i don't need gigabit ports etc
This would provide basic wifi (for the kids) as i already have an Asus router at the other end of the house that deals with the bulk of N & AC wifi for myself and the wife.
Thanks in advance!

How are you planning to connect this to the other router?

As long as the Asus Router is WDS compatible and enabled then it's a good way to the expand wifi range with out cables.

Thanks guys,
Ill try and explain a little better!
BTORM -- PN router -- 16P gigabit sw (which feeds number of wired devices & the Asus which is acting as an AC WAP at the other end of the house.
The PN router is currently serving wifi to the rest of the house & acting as the incoming router.
TBH, the PN router has been OK so far, but was just wondering if there was better?
When i was browsing iTunes earlier, some pages were not loading artwork at all and sampling some tracks there was a fair bit of buffering which i never had before.

I think it will work as a replacement but it may not fix your problems.
