Sitting on a standard virgin super hub atm... yes, its terrible
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!
AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router
Model No. Archer D5
Current uptime stands at 74 days so far, been fairly impressed with it considering i didn't pay a lot.
DRAYTEK 2920N
it's awesome.
Uptime is... . 84 days.... to be fair to it we had a power cut

Just had to turn mine off after almost exactly 5 months......made a mistake on the iptables commands and had to factory reset.
I wish DD-WRT handled multiple external IPs properly.

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.
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.
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.
1. 28 days
2. TP-Link TL-WR1043ND
3. got it free for taking part in a broadband reliability trial.
4. Using it with DD-WRT finding it really good. though can struggle a little if I fully saturate my 150Mb connection.
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.
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.
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
