When I went over to fibre, SamKnows collected my old router and sent me a new one to carry on monitoring the fibre broadband.
Just a thought if you are still interested in the stats they give you ;)
I would update to: 376.49_5 Not only for bug fixes but major security fixes. Or wait a little until 378.50 comes out of beta.
You should do a factory reset after update.
I am on TalkTalk Fibre. I use the supplied Open Reach Modem, I find it does what its supposed to and has never dropped a connection. For the price they cost I don't think you will get anything better. As you say in the UK there isn't a great selection anyway.
Modem available here...
I have 2 Asus Routers one is an RT-N66U and a RT-AC66U
The wireless temperatures on the RT-N66U runs at around 53c on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz
On the RT-AC66U the temp runs at around 56c on the 2.4GHZ and around 78c on the 5GHz.
Is the temp of 78c on the 5GHz running to hot? If it is what...
