Hi everyone,
Sorry for my first post just being a plee for advice, I have been seeking advice elsewhere and getting conflicting answers, so I ended up here. I have tried search feature but can't find what I am looking for (maybe user error!)
I have been a Virgin Media Cable user (UK) for a long time. I am now on 100m cable and generally happy. I am considering getting a router and putting the Superhub (the new one) into modem mode.
Anyway, the reasons I want to do this are that I often find I want to do more that I can through the Superhub for example monitoring traffic and bandwidth utilisation on specific devices (lots of devices on my home network, wired and wireless), set bandwidth and other restrictions on certain devices, disconnect devices as I want through a GUI and a few other things.
The most important thing I want to do is setting bandwidth limits to certain devices that are hogging bandwidth. This is where I am getting conflicting advice. I know there are ways to do this on the device but that is not what I need right now.
I am also hoping that it may help with an issue I get with my PS4 dropping network connection quite often but that it not a certainty for sure.
I would like it to be good on the Wifi front too.
What I was hoping for was some advice on the best router for my needs and known to work well with Virgin set up. Happy to spend up to a max of £200, Sweet spot would be £80-£100 so only want to spend a lot if it is really giving me some more features.
Thanks for reading
