Oxygen8 thanks for the recommendation can i ask what modem u r using have ordered the Draytek 130 and 86u from amazon.co.uk

I’m not on DSL, I bought the DSL-AC88U to have a future proof router for when the fiber comes by with the Gigabit thing, so at the moment I’m on cable provided by Virgin Media via Cisco EPC-3925, but its wifi is disabled and it is set in bridge mode so the new RT-AC86U is doing everything:

• Firewall, AiProtection.
• Parental control + Internet scheduled time for my kid.
• Dual band load balancer pushing most clients to 5GHz

To be honest I had forgotten about it, RAM is fine, it just works like a charm, as long as you can put a decent firmware into a router everything is good, lesson learned: I will never buy a router without open source firmware support

On fibre and yes agree it can do G.Fast but that will be some time for most regions… but the dsl88u is very buggy wifi and for IPTV to work together. just that when i had the dsl 68u it was showing higher connection speeds for up and down than what the dsl 88u was showing…also proven by next door trying out the 68u … but thanks for the info..
