I did get manual for this router , configure via telnet .... it's actually quite capable ... just dumbed down at the GUI.<br />before getting FTTC , while on copper I made sure I replaced the NTE5 with a filter plate ... so cable is filtered at source. these are a 'must buy' on copper.<br />In a previous life I set up the wholesale line rental , which is behind the BT / plusnet line rental ... as a result of which I keep my line with BT and get Internet with plusnet.<br />so I don't suffer BT Ffiltering but I am able to call out BT truck , unplug the NTE5 and it's all their problem .... semes to work very well ...not tried since FTTC.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117531212537200085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2027699993235411172.post-84840215832402628552013-01-30T14:33:14.589+00:002013-01-30T14:33:14.589+00:00Thanks Adam, great to get some other advice and re...Thanks Adam, great to get some other advice and recommendations from people who've used the hardware from a technical point of view. I've already ordered the Asus DSL-N12U which I hope will be sufficient until such times as I decide to go with an FTTC connection instead. The Asus firmwares are all open source so they're known to be pretty hackable devices, although at this stage I'm just looking for something that works and gives me the config options I want in the GUI.Graham Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03878311939940449093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2027699993235411172.post-66600926878390322412013-01-30T08:46:01.868+00:002013-01-30T08:46:01.868+00:00Hi Graham

I moved to a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND (this is for cable - not ADSL). The TP-Link stuff seems pretty good, easily hackable as it also allows you to run DD-WRT (or other open firmware).<br />Might be worth checking out what they have ADSL wise.....<br /><br />AdamAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181530425097721256noreply@blogger.com
