Recommended routers for O2 Broadband

The router supplied by O2 normally does a good job of providing an internet connection. However, if for any reason you want to use a different router, you can. I have always bought Netgear routers over the years, and I have found them to be very reliable. The firmware is well maintained, and I have had no reliability issues with them.

As O2 Broadband uses Broadcom equipment for LLU subscribers (The Basics, The All Rounder, The Works), the best routers to buy are the ones with a Broadcom chipset. Listed below are current models with a Broadcom chipset.
