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

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 ;-)
