Hi everybody,

First of all I would like recommendations on what would be a decent router to buy for fibre broadband and also gaming as there is so many out there..
Any suggestions very appreciated and thanks in advanced for the help..
 
Try some research on google about Netgear, Asus,Tplink all depends what your after 5ghz & 2.4 Ghz wifi etc

Amount of Ports required , who is your isp
 
If you look at the back of the router does it have a standard phone line going into it that way you will know if its a modem one
 
Did you check to see if it has the phoneline going into your existing router to make sure , to be honest I wouldn't blow a lot of cash on a router
 
That one you looked at would be no good for you then unless you buy a separate modem are you staying with plusnet?
 
Its a DSL or VDSL router you need something like the Netgear Nighthawk or Asus RT AC68U something along those lines

Maybe go into your local PC shop and ask there if unsure
 
Still not sure on what to buy....as of reading reviews on most of these high spec modem routers, alot of people having issues with them, this is the one I most like ASUS DSL-AC88U WiFi Modem Router - AC 3100, Dual-band
 
Its hard to tell a lot of things to consider for example location of router if it is next to any electrical device that can affect wifi performance,
Setting it up to the correct configuration for your needs
Do you require a VPN which will also affect performance
Pros & Cons with most of them to be honest
 
Myself I use a Tplink Archer AC1900 version 1 along side a Spider Pro VPN Router
