    I have a BT Hub 5 - the uptime was very good, but they just updated the firmware - all the connections stayed active, but the automatic setup now runs if a new device connects. - I get a good signal - I am glad I have unlimited - 3 Smart TVs 1x XBox, 1 xPS3 + Gaming PC with MMOG!

    Re: what router do you have and what is the uptime ?

    I have one of the EE brightbox routers (yes the ones with the bad security)
    Generally I tend to switch off the router once every 2 or 3 weeks so not a whole lot of uptime
    We got it for free when we changed over to EE
    Initially the setup was a bit fiddly, Have some powerline wifi range extenders thrown in the mix - so could have been my setup
    Better now that it's all settled.

    Re: what router do you have and what is the uptime ?

    1: 323 days, 14 hours 45 mins 20 secs (I think that was when I plugged it into the new SuperHub as I had been using it before that)
    2: Asus RT-N56U
    3: Got it because after reading reviews I thought it was the best available and it hasn't disappointed.
    4: Very reliable. No issues at all on wire/wifi.

    Re: what router do you have and what is the uptime ?

    Ran dd-wrt on a buffalo wzr-hp-g450h for about a year, worked fine and was stable, but was too underpowered for qos.

    Recently replaced with pfsense built on a GA-J1900N-D3V motherboard.
    Been up for 9 days now and the load doesn't exceed 0.2 at full throughput while qos is enabled.
    Running wifi separately on a UniFi AP which has been up for 137 days without issue.

    Re: what router do you have and what is the uptime ?

    1 - About 12 hours after powering it down yesterday to tidy up the cabling.
    2 - Cisco 892
    3 - I like Cisco stuff a lot and have access to the kit so thought I may as well use one at home. Previously I used an 877 and 837 when I was on ADSL. I'm moving house soon and going to VDSL so have an 887VA configured and ready to go.
    4 - Very reliable, the only problems I've had have been because I've messed up the config. Setting the thing up isn't trivial but I know my way around Cisco stuff so I had it up and running in about 20 minutes but have since tweaked the config a lot.

    Re: what router do you have and what is the uptime ?

    I have an Asus RT-AC66U. I've been very happy with it so far, performance is excellent, it's been as reliable as my cable modem. I might try slapping DD-WRT some time, but AsusWRT-Merlin has been nice enough.

    Re: what router do you have and what is the uptime ?

    Modem = Standard Fibre (BT Openreach)
    Firewall/Router = ASUS RT-AC86U

    Uptime is excellent - only need to give it a boost to do a firmware update every once in a while.
    Nothing to complain about here.

    ASus RT-AC68U - solid performance . Mine is connected to a UPS/Battery backup so no drop-outs.

    Re: what router do you have and what is the uptime ?

    I'm also on PlusNet Fibre 20 / 80 the router they supply is very basic and also needs the BT modem for it to work.

    I run a web-server from it so I needed the 20mb upload speed, for the best security I opted to build a pFsence router and not looked back, its great and you have total control of any setting you wish to make

    The only downside using a pFsense router is having to run a PC 24/7
