The article on ISP review says it comes with one microfilter ( although the customer can ask for more free of charge ),
On this page http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/hardware/plusnet-2704n-setup-guide.shtml
Why has it been changed from the two to one ( this could cause problems for customers) microfilter PN ?
Under what's in the box , it say Microfilters, the picture shows one Microfilter, which is correct ?
How would a customer request more , can this be done at sign up , or do customers have to ring up to request more ?
Kind Regards
Mike

On the other router pages the picture shows two filters whereas this one only shows one

[#4]

Still 100mbps ports!

[#5]

can anyone explain this new EU regulation with regards to being on standby?
when is a router ever on standby? when does a router ever have a standby mode?
they are either on or off, there is no middle ground (like a TV or DVD player for example).

Not the prettiest modem I've ever seen, and apart from a small energy-saving improvement, none of PN's cash has apparently been spent on uprating the specs over and above what the TG582n offers, so I guess the question which will be on many people's lips will be whether its Wifi performance is more impressive than the TG582n's. (I find it adequate, but I know many users don't.)

Plusnet have spent the last few years defending the TG582n's wifi, bit embarrassing if the replacement has the same spec other than a stronger wifi.

I bet they are following BT like when they released the Hub 4 and a few months after they released the Hub 5.
Maybe it would be called Plusnet Hub Ultra or Hub X. Or just Hub Zero 2.
NE.

[#9]

surely the next one would be the Plusnet Hub One.

Let's keep some perspective here, this router wasn't specced to be a top of the range router. It's a replacement for the 582n, that has a very easy to use interface and will cater to the vast majority of our customers.

[#11]

don't think anyone was expecting top of the range.
would anyone class dual-band WIFI as top of the range?
would anyone class gigabit ports as top of the range?
you could have those two basic features alongside the easy to use interface.

[#12]

what a pile of crappy router no vdsl modem, no gigabit lan ports, no dual band a/c. i am sorry plusnet, but it rather ugly one and too cheap!

[#13]

It's not designed or intended to be such goldenfibre and basic performance is more important that your opinion of its appearance.
See reply #31 and reply #28

i asked this question in one of the other threads about this new router, but it never got answered, maybe someone could answer it here?
