Orange livebox - it's cr*p and I don't even know if oranges ADSL system allows replacement.
Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X with the Ubiquiti Unifi AP for wireless
I have a Huawei B593 4G modem/router with 4 lan ports. It only has 802.11g but that's fine, I don't have any bandwidth hungry stuff on my wifi. It came from the ISP with the 4G connection. It's not the most reliable thing in the world, it usually drops the connection or reboots once or twice a week. But I don't mind, it's good enough. And the 4G is blazing fast.
Tplink archer c2 ac router. £38 with excellent signal, speed and up time. Loads better than the BT home hub 4 we had before. Why pay more?

Mine is a Dlink-DIR615 with DD-WRT firmware on it.
It was our pre-superhub router supplied by virgin media.
Now whilst the VM superhub is quite nice spec-wise, the software is absolutely horrible and was very unstable (particularly for wifi), so several years ago i put the superhub in modem-only mode, flashed the d-link and i've been happy with the setup ever since. The DD-WRT firmware is utterly rock-stable and far more feature-full than virgin's offering.
I'm using an Asus N66U with Tomato-Shibby firmware.
Using a Billion 7800N. Great router and very stable.
The only problem is the interface. User unfriendly is probably a good word. Some of the options are hidden unless you know the exact address.
BT HomeHub 5 is fine for our use. In fact it is very reliable, and has a good wifi signal wherever we are in the house. Most of the rooms are cabled up with LAN ports via an HP 1810-24G gigabit switch anyway.

Currently using EchoLife HG612 with Asus RT-N66U with MERLIN firmware.
But, may change HG612 to a Billion 8800NL as it's more configurable, connected to the RT-N66U.
I'm using a bt openreach vdsl modem, a PFsense VM sitting inside a CentOS linux box and a TP AC750MBps access point
Our new Sky router is pants, looking for an alternative.
Using BT fibre. Had Home Hub 5 which was dropping connections and couldn't handle the amount of wifi traffic thrown at it from a 3 person family.
Brought Asus DSL-AC68U for £130 and will never go back. Perfect connections, amazing wifi strength and no issues with the amount of traffic thrown at it.

Asus DSL-N66U.
The difference between using this and the awful plusnet router has been stark to say the least. The added stability (plusnet are still rubbish but I can't expect it to work miracles) has been great and mobile app for remote access is handy.
