    Looking at replacing my virgin media hub 3 for a dedicated router only device as my super hub keep taking itself out of modem mode, does anyone have any suggestions? I have no need for it to have WAP capabilities just a modem only.

    Thanks in advance

      @matt211 Draytek 130 appears to be good

              It's either a Draytek or Netgear for half the price but searching around the Netgear (I've forgotten the model DM200) has differing reviews

                  I wouldn't of thought so - but I could be wrong. Another reason I don't use any of the big ISP's if it's true.
