Hello, going in circles .
Not a massive budget maybe £70
Need to be able to adjust / tweak snr on bt adsl2
I am on a long line so needs to have good power output.
Not fussed about wireless capacity
Lede support
VPN /socks 5 / IPTV and
Bittorrent and usb printer support would be good.
Given that lantiq is the only SOC with modem support, it makes more sense to look at https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/hardware/soc/soc.lantiq, starting with the danube generation or newer. Given that you can find used VRX268/ VRX288 devices pretty cheaply, I wouldn't bother with buying anything older anymore (and those VDSL2 modems are backwards compatible with ADSL, provided you get one for the right annex).
