So, having stated that BT usually charges 2-3 times what a piece of equipment should cost, you now say that the Home Hub is "good for the price"

Actually, if you read the one of the reviews above, the headline is "
BT Smart Hub review: The best ISP-supplied router bar none
"
It is the only router to get 5* out of all the routers costing up to £200.
These ISP routers are designed to provide the features required by 99.9% of the public and the BT one provides excellent performance, build quality etc. as well. It is the performance that is relevant to 99.9% of the consumer market, not complex WAN onfigurations etc.
If you need more features, spend circa £300 and buy yourself a Drayek Vigor or £1k and buy a CISCO.
The fact that you use a BT Hub, despite the above views, says it all really.
