I'm looking for an ISP that provides a free Wireless-N Router. Is there a list of these anywhere?

Many Thanks
 
The short answer is no.

On the other hand, why are you looking?? A decent "N" spec router can be bought for about £30-40; hardly wallet breaking, have a look at the TPLink routers on https://www.aria.co.uk/
 
Sadly there's no list because not all ISPs make it obvious just what kind of router they are supplying. Off-hand I know that BT's Home Hub 3 router and Virgin's "SuperHub" are all N spec but I'm not sure about the others. Either way most ISPs tend to ship routers with cheap / re-branded chipsets that aren't always the best.

Mark, you forgot to add that they often use custom ROMS that lock you into their own service, so may be less stable and offer fewer options than a "proper" router. Just look at all the problems with both the BT HomeHubs AND Virgins SuperHub.

Not only do you have to pay extra for the "free" router, but you often cannot keep it when you change ISP.
 
I take it both posters above like me have experienced Thomson gear which so many ISPs seem to want to throw at us. I hate to think how many of those slow heaps one day will end up in landfill and were hardly ever used.
 
I have some elderly friends whose BT HUB gives them a massive 256KB connection; I KNOW a better router would give them a faster and more stable connection, but BT gave it to them, so it must be good. :crap:
