Ethernet ports

Good morning..

 

May I ask how many ethernet ports the current Sky fibre broadband router had please?

Perhaps worth noting that for an FTTP broadband service one of the four ethernet ports on the Sky Broadband Hub is occupied by the WAN connection to the ONT ('fibre modem') so only three are available for other use.

Sky should no longer be offering Q Hubs to new users, so the default is now a four port Broadband Hub.  They may however still charge to go from one to the other, in which case buying a small ethernet switch is cheaper.
