You're looking for the router to support RFC3021, but it shouldn't really matter unless you have a reason to connect to another Hyperoptic user that is one address away from you. Your Internet will continue to work normally if you have to specify a wider subnet mask.

So any router that has RFC3021 will work with hyperoptic? what is RFC3021?
also what are the settings we need to setup a new router?
Man of Honour
The usual setup is a single 1Gig point to point from the usual suspects (Openreach or VM Business), their peering setup as publically acknoledged is at https://www.peeringdb.com/net/4507 which is reasonable in my view for an ISP of their size, their transit I don't know how much they have (I'd guess 2:3 transit
eering or perhaps a little less for a UK based consumer ISP so perhaps 30-40Gig?) but the provider tend to the be the better value ones (looks like Cogent and Zayo)

Yep, from here in Manchester they seem to throw a lot of stuff through IX Manchester, but then transit seems to be almost universally GTT. It used to be Cogent but I've not seen them used lately.

revisting this again.
But what router do you recommend to replace and use with hyperOptic?
i need one that does 1gbits speed across LAN as i transfer big files across different hardware and have nearly 10 devices connected.
Port forwading needs to work also and i am currently on 100mb speed on the internet and need a modem that caters for that.
my stock modem is giving me issues! my wifi connected devices struggle to load stuff on the internet but the wired connected devices seem fine?
I've been using a Netgear R7000 with Hyperoptic for well over 2 years now. It's plugged straight into the wall, no problems at all - I can't remember the last time I had to touch it. It gives great WiFi coverage across my flat, again never had a problem with connected devices. On LAN, I've got a media server (on 24/7), Amazon Fire, PS4 and my PC in the other room via Cat6 / Netgear Ethernet switch. I have no problem with transfer speeds from my PC to media server and the Speedtest from that PC is below. Port forwarding is also pretty simple and there are loads of guides out there if need be. Hope that helps.

Did you have to configure the router in order to work with hyperopic?I've been using a Netgear R7000 with Hyperoptic for well over 2 years now.

To be honest, it was so long ago that I can't remember. But it was very painless. As TJM said above, I'm pretty sure I just checked "My ISP does not require a login" and that was it. Worse case is you just speak to Hyper and ask for the login details.

edit: ok it seems those netgear 7000 are just routers that do not contain a modem!
Yes its the one you linked. Why is it an issue that it doesn't contain a modem? You have the RJ45 Ethernet interface / faceplate in your house right?

brilliant thanks

They seem to do different version of that router? main think i see is ADC1900 ADC2300 etc? what is that? the speed?

Will vary between locations, but I'm in a new development and got to see their installation. IIRC: Gigabit switch in the basement/carpark and fibre up to all the flats.
@jonneymendoza Hyper supplied you a router, you're just swapping one router for another. There is normally a comparison further down, but for example the AC2300 model is the combined speed of the two Wi-Fi bands (Dual-Band 2.4 Ghz + 5 Ghz). So: 1625 + 600 Mbps = ~2300.
