WOW, brilliant deal, for all you guys who don't really understand routers, this one allows you to ditch your Sky and BT routers without needed a open reach box to handle the fibre connection :smiley:
I have this router and it is rock solid

Had one of these until last year, decent router and a good upgrade from OEM stuff especially for its customisation (Tomato etc) but these were £70 in recent Warehouse 20% off offer. Unless you're in a rush I'd hang fire.
I'm now using its bigger brother the R7800 and can also recommend it, occasionally on offer for £129 which is the price I paid.

The R7800 is just a router so its not "its bigger brother" as the D7000 is a Modem & Router.
However it does state the connection was "rock solid" and did not require rebooting. My own performs much better than the one Vodafone supplied and I very rarely have to reboot it.

I always tell people there is nothing wrong with the HH5, it is hands down the best OEM router out there, however range is not everything, and reviews can not note ongoing issues, a quick look at BT forum will let you see lots and lots of issues with the HH... but yes, millions of people can happily stay on their HH, after market routers are simply not aimed at the happy with just a connection crowd

But which of the two BT hub 5s are they comparing it to. BT Hub 5A has completely different hardware to the BT hub 5B, I believe the A is supposed to have the best wifi of the two.

I have the new Sky Q Hub but not happy with its range. Can I replace this one with Sky Q Hub?

Wrong.
They do modem+router and router only models of all models, there's an equivalent 7800 model for either use case.
The 7800 is significantly better, particularly from a processor perspective if you plan to utilise the VPN functionality. Throughput in my house (solid brick) was also better.
The other point to be aware of with the r7000 is the need to use the latest firmware, there's a vulnerability that was issued early 2017 which is fixed via firmware.

The D8500 is its biggest brother but at great cost
Its intermediate brother is also available.
