It appears reviewers also do not agree with your point of view - look at the ratings and prices!

So BT Home Hubs are good for their price (usually free or subsidised cost): fair enough, they aren't the worst (as I said). Take a look at the full range of comms equipment that BT actually sells (e.g. the aforementioned kit to make the WiFi work across a difficult building) and the consider the £55 - £75 cost for a home hub and then wonder where a figure of £300 comes from for (effectively) a hub and two repeaters.

I currently have PN version the of the Home Hub unit. It's quite basic and has very few useful features beyond the absolute basics, but does perform well enough in what it does do. However if I was spending over £70 on a Broadband router & WiFi I'd expect a lot richer feature set. (I got this one for free from PN) and am considering an upgrade to provide the features I want in a broadband router solution.
