So the hub provided by my ISP is really old and bottlenecky at this point, they would charge as much to replace it as to buy my own so I figure better to own my own hardware than get some bare minnimum functionality piece of branded plastic right?
I’m in the UK so my connection setup is a single ethernet port in the wall with a splitter to connect the phone and talk talk hub via LAN cable.
A quick google tells me Asus is a good brand but I’m not sure if I just need a router or if I need to get a combi router/modem.
Speeds are consistently slower than service contract though notably hub > pc speed is a good chunk slower than hub > net speeds (a good 30-40%) Looking at that site I have the legacy ADSL hub which is more than 10 years old at this point.
They actually tried to send me a replacement once upon a time but the one that arrived was a lemon (wouldn’t even power up) and customer support is less than fantastic.
