    Well it has been a painful few weeks with this modem/router. High pings, disconnects and down load speeds all over the place. Turns out the dsl chipset in this is mediatek which is not very good when paired up with ECI fibre cabinets which is what I'm connected to in the street. There are many lengthy posts on various other forums including Asus.

    If you are connected to a ECI cabinet these have lantiq (intel) chipsets in them so you are better off trying to find a modem/router that has a lantiq dsl chipset and you will get better speeds and a solid connection. Netgear do one of these, the D7800 it is suppose to be a very good unit. I have managed to buy a second hand one off fleabay so hoping this will be a good buy and will be with me next week.

    I'm hoping that I can take the Asus back and get a full refund.

    Nightmare mate! Until you get a new one through, connect through the BT Modem and use the ASUS as the router.
    Does the Netgear support MER? I'd double check that.

    Yeah fed up with having to use their equipment for fibre. If I have issues I have to plug their hub back in before calling. Saving money too by getting bt sport with BT fibre.

    Yeah, same here. My current Sky bill is £143 per month, which now doesn't include MotoGP or loads of Football that it used to.
    Then you add on the cost of BT Sport and well, it's nuts!

    I received my BT Home Hub 5, I didn't realise it had built in modem so that was a nice surprise!
    Just waiting for the line to change so I can connect it and see if I have IPv6 yet

    Now I'm going to have to pay£90 to get the Business version lol!

    All activated, I was going to use the BT Home Hub, version 5 is actually quite nice.
    I am currently using the OpenReach Modem and my Asus RT-N66, and have IPv6 enabled too.

    Have you moved yet Bully?

    Has your line speed settled down yet?
    Mine hasn't budged, still have the same IP address too
    I'm getting 55Mbs down and 7Mbs up, I'm going to ring them next week and see if they can give me more upload.
    I'd rather have 50 to 55 download and the full 10 upload. We'll see!
    I'm still using the BT Modem and the ASUS RT-N66U Router, I'll have to try the next ASUS with built in modem.

    I've been testing with the Microsoft Network Speed Test app...
