Wifi Router recommendations for Gigaclear fibre optic.

[Brian Lacey]

A couple of years ago our village was linked to Gigaclear fibre optic cable, we joined and the package included a Genexis DRG router. The network is fine but the router is barely ok and we need something that will give a better/more efficient wifi coverage to the bungalow. We have to use an extender to get a signal away from the router.
Gigaclear now supply the Linksys router to new installations so ...

1. is this a decent router that has a good output signal, in which case the easy option is to get Gigaclear to supply/fit one.
2. what other routers are efficient and have a good signal output ?
3. is replacing the router an easy job, ie a DIY ? The old telephone broadband was easy but I have never connected a router to a fibre cable. Is it best left to someone who knows what they are doing ?

Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers
Brian.

Interested as well.

I've disabled the WiFi on my Gigackear route as it's crap and replaced it with some version of an Asus Router. Would be nice just to run one device.

Ubiquiti Dream Machine/Dream Machine Pro with an extra wifi AP or two if a larger property (or incoming internet at one end) would be a good bet.
