New wireless router - is this all I need?
Discussion
BT Homehub 3 looks to be failing (crashing and rebooting itself, dropping connections and several factory resets only saved it for a few hours)

Can I just pick this up from my local PC World or is there anything else I need to know first?

Personally I'd be looking for a better unit, a dual band one with 5Ghz WiFi and AC. Surely BT will replace a failed router?
Will that make a big difference? It'll pretty much just do emails and Pistonheads with the occasional Youtube videoBT won't replace it outside warranty without signing a new contract. Well, they wouldn't last time this happened
Hi, just bringing this up again as I didn't get round to it in the end.
If I buy the router I linked, can I just disconnect my Home Hub 3, connect that router and it should all work? Or do I need to get a modem and something else?
I'd rather get it right rather than the wrong thing and have to go back and do it all again

Well, I'm glad I did that!
The first instructions I found for BT Broadband said that it didn't need a password or if it insisted, just write in bthomehub@btbroadband.com.
So I did that for ages, completely stumped. Eventually I came across another page that said the password should just be BT
That worked instantly. And the upload and download rates on the line have doubled on this router. TP Link Archer VR400 is the model I eventually chose
