Hi sof006

The BT home hubs I have seen generally have had stable connections, from memory they mostly have Lantiq or Broadcom chipsets and where I live we have quite poor phone lines and they do pretty decent job - are you sure its the router? Perhaps you could share some line data, there are people on here who might be able to help ...

I think the VR400 has a Broadcom chipset, you might end up with similar performance if the chipset is the same? Personally I am not a fan of TP-Link equipment due to their poor firmware support, I would go for a more reputable second hand device or alternatively flash a third party firmware.

As Chunkers says it may well not be the BT modem that is responsible- especially if you have done a hard reset on it. It would be interesting to see the stats.

ZyXel modems are popular on these boards and something like the VMG 8924 should be quite cheap.

If your friend is on-contract with BT I'd advise that he contacts them first, as they may well send a replacement router out for free.
