Just talk to anyone who uses BT in the UK. Their HomeHub is atrocious. I replaced mine with a Draytek modem and high end Asus router and not only have my speeds gone up, I now get emails from no-IP asking me to manually renew my dynamic DNS domains because the connection routinely stays up for months (as opposed to days) at a time.
Edit: Oops, I should probably say something about improved wifi as well, as that was the point of the parent comment! :P
Needless to say my ISP's aforementioned modem router struggled to cover our typically average (for the UK) 3 bed semi. I even had a wired network point installed in my office upstairs, which I've barely used since we chucked it out. We can pick up the Asus router half way down the street!
- iraldir 10y agoYep, I'm on BT with a 200mb fiber connection, and I use to use the default HomeHub. It was failing daily, the speed would drop to like 3mb, and you had to restart the router to get a proper speed again, connection would not always work. Just like you I bought a high end ASUS modem (120£, way more that I ever paid for a modem) but it was totally worth it. The wifi connection is now always top of the range, it has never needed reconnection, it changes everything. Definitely don't regret.
