Enjoy fast Wi-Fi speeds for better performance. This AC1600 DSL modem router provides a fast VDSL modem for fibre broadband and also works with ADSL connections.
Compatible with AC Wi-Fi devices and backward compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n devices, this VDSL/ADSL modem router enables HD streaming throughout your home. With up to 300 + 1300 Mbps and simultaneous dual band Wi-Fi technology, it avoids wireless interference, ensuring top Wi-Fi speeds and reliable connections.
This is a great router. I'm currently in Belgium and using the OpenVPN functionality to allow my kids to watch iPlayer in Europe and access films/music/UK Netflix on the network at home over a public KPN hotspot.
This router/modem never crashes, is fast, rock solid, looks nice, excellent range, guest networks and parental controls. I use with PlusNet with 20Mbps upload (you'll need a decent upload speed for VPN if that interests you). Has a web app too.
I first started working in tech in 1985 in the days of acoustic couplers, 74 logic and 8" floppies and this is the best router I've ever used and the only router/modem where I haven't wished for a firmware update for years. I can't recommend highly enough. It hasn't got lots of fake aerials, etc. but it is superb.

Is this better than a home hub 5?

Haven't looked at the home hub 5 but I'd say yes, this is a very high spec router for the price!

Yes this will be much better than the HH5. Recently replaced mine with the Nighthawk X6 and it is fast, but more importantly, hasn't crashed or lost the connection once in over 3 months.
This having the built in modem just makes it easier for you, plug into the wall and phone line, and away you go.

Can anyone recommend me a router for my Virgin broadband? my one hasn't dropped connection for a long time but occasionally signal is weak in garden when it shouldn't be since the router is on a shelf near the edge of the house. Settings don't change much and plus it looks pretty ugly.

You'd be better off with a repeater if it's a range issue.

can the fifth internet port be used as normal gigabit port
