Can i use a DrayTek 2820N for home?
OK, at home i have a Virgin Media Super hub, but connection is not the best. Wold it be better and would i be able to switch i into modem mode and then use the draytek device mentioned as wireless network?
Would it be better/stronger?
Many thanks in advance.

Yes, ABSOLUTELY. Put the superhub in modem mode, and connect the LAN4 port from the superhub to the WAN2 port on your Draytek. The Draytek is a billion times better than the AWFUL superhub.

Sorry - I absolutely disagree. :shock:
I have XL (100) Virgin, and a Draytek 2850Vn - and I only get 60Mbps through it in Modem mode (SuperHub with R36 firmware) - through the SH directly - I get 80-105Mbps anytime I try it.
Seeing as the 2850 has a higher throughput on its WAN port, and a higher throughput through the firewall than the 2820 - I don't fancy your chances (with my experience so far)
I have the Draytek setup with no QoS etc. - doesn't help.:evil:

Totally agree with toph3r.
My suberhub was dreaful, poor wifi signal, had to be reset constantly.
Superhub to modem mode with a 2820vn and bingo, no more issues at all - hasnt need restarting once, and coverage is much better.

Old post but one more opinion
Yes like mentioned post up, the WI-FI is much better than the Superhub, but not the greatest
For 100mb connection the wan 2 will not get the fully speed easy ...while the SH wired almost most time of the day will "clock" 105mb, while my 2850 will do almost 100mb very rear
