    We are please to inform customers that we are changing the entry-level router that we supply to our customers. From next week we'll be shipping the ZyXEL VMG1312 by default instead of the Technicolor.

    Since around 2012 we have been providing the Technicolor TG852, which was the first consumer level router to support IPv6. With the advent of wires-only FTTC and the need for a more flexible and easy to use router we have been looking for a replacement. The ZyXEL VMG1312 is able to do ADSL, FTTC and PPPoE and is flexible enough to be used on most of our lines. We have been working with ZyXEL over the past few months to iron out bugs that we have found. There are still some bugs to be fixed and these are detailed on our Support site. The biggest bug is the lack of 1500 byte MTU when running in bridge mode, however, ZyXEL expect to have this fixed soon and in the meantime FTTC installations will be installed with the Openreach modem.
