The Community Fibre router is generally a Linksys MX4200. This can mesh with lots of other Linksys stuff so you're probably better just buying nodes yourself rather than paying extra to CF for them. There's some posts a few pages back about doing it (not from me, I'm using Unifi stuff as I already had it).
Worth having a think about where you want the wire to come in, they were pretty accommodating when they did mine (I wanted it in the loft).
CGNAT screwed up a few things like Plex for me and resolving it was a bit of a faff (more due to the learning curve, it would probably take me about an hour to sort now). There was also something else that it screwed up unexpectedly but I can't remember what that was now.

Community Fibre 1Gb ordered yesterday morning, installation due on Sat. Seemed to be just one available slot so may have got lucky with a cancellation.
Currently have a Netgear RBR40 plus single (wired) satellite and was considering whether to stick with them or pay the extra £5/month for their hardware. Opted for the latter mainly cos the Netgear kit is five years old. Am also still hoping a loft conversion might happen in the coming months, and figured that adding an extra satellite would mean having to completely replace the Netgear stuff. That's assuming CF would give me an extra one if necessary.
Been reading about CGNAT which it looks like I'll be subjected to. Don't have any need for a static IP, but is there anything else I should be concerned about in this regard?
