Which router do John Lewis give you on fibre broadband

Options
I can't see on the John Lewis Broadband website which router they give you with their Fibre products. Or even if they are the same for 'Fibre' versus 'Fibre Extra'. A friend has normal broadband and the router looks fairly cheap, although don't judge a book by its cover!
Do all Fibre products use the same system of plugging into the BT Master box or do any have a an Openreach box? Or is that for fibre to the premises only?

    Since JL Broadband is Plusnet, have a look on their site. Early FTTC set ups used a separate VDSL OR modem connected to the router: now they mainly use integrated modem/routers with a VDSL modem built in.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I believe that the current PlusNet VDSL/FTTC offering is still the Hub One.

    This is basically a rebadged BT HomeHub5 with a few software tweaks.

    A google and I believe I found the answer. It's the ZyXEL VMG8924. There's more info here.
  • OK, thanks. I saw they had a list of possible routers in the support section but it wasn't clear which one you got. Now John Lewis has rebranded, the JL Broadband site looks a bit dated!
