[quote quote=2188]Hi guys, I have been following this and previous site for a long time now as an owner of this dsl router. I’m not really happy with the performance of it on wifi/vpn/iptv etc and the speed of the firmware updates to address poor/missing features seems to have dried up. Far to many problems for my liking I have a HG612 3B and was wondering if you guys thought this would be a better option coupled with a more capable router. My question would be this, what router would you recommend for say less than £200. Also is the HG612 still relevant or would an upgrade of this be required too? I have read lots of reviews but have no idea. Any input would be great, apologies if i have posted this in the wrong place Liam[/quote]
Welcome, The HG612 does not support G.inp (without firmware change) or G.fast, so if this is not an issue, then the HG612 is a good little unit.
Regarding routers, for your price limit and requirements, the RT-AC86U flashed with RMerlins (ASUSWRT-Merlin) is perfect. I have one and it is works very well.
The choice to change is yours alone ;-) but I would ;-)
