Unlock the hidden potential in your old PlusNet or BT Router
3 of 3 found this helpful For a small amount of money you can get access to the feature-set and performance of a much more expensive router that is hidden below the surface of the stock one. Changing the software image is somewhat tricky and involves accessing a couple of tiny unmade connections on the router main "board" - I'm reasonably technical but I'm happy for someone else to do that job, which is what this *service* (as you need to mail in a donor router) is all about.
I wanted to create additional networks for my devices around the house (Smart TV's, Alexa etc) and keep them away from the laptops and tablets but I couldn't do that with the software on the ISP provided router and didn't want to spend a fortune on a hardware upgrade. After the software upgrade, I now have proper VLANs, Firewall Zones and I can even add custom firewall rules just like a commercial grade product.
With great power comes great responsibility! This new software image is OpenWRT/LEDE based on Linux. It has a very good feature-rich User interface but it doesn't have a "clueless mode" like some ISP routers so be prepared to do a little bit of reading (and capture your current ID and password that you use to log onto the ISP network) before you plug it in.
I had to create a new "VLAN 101" sub-interface (look it up) on the dsl connection and add my UserID & Password - TBH there wasn't much more to it than that but I intend to explore more features over time. Router is rock solid @ 40Mb/sec with multiple 4K Netflix & iPlayer streams. I also get far more info & stats about my connection and can log everything.
Highly recommended - but not for the absolute technophobe.
