Got the plus net equiv of this, same just re-branded.

Mines still in the box, as I use a NetGear router. My parents also switched to plus net and I decided to give theirs a go, as opposed to buying them one, I wasn't expecting great things given the reviews.

I'll admit, I was surprised, it's pretty much faultless as far as I can tell. It does seem to re-login every few days, but then again, so does my NetGear . The PC is upstairs with the router downstairs and it gets a perfectly acceptable wireless signal.

I work from home and we have various wired and wireless devices. HH5 works fine now, but did originally have issues as it seemed to have problems switching from 5Ghz to 2.4Ghz as you get further away from the router.

I disabled 5GHz as fine the 2.4 band speed fine. The amber warning lamp for 5GHz being disabled might annoy some people.

When I look at its log the DSL uptime never shows as more than a few days (often it'll be hours) but I'm never aware of it being offline and resetting itself.
