How to connect ASUS AC mesh to Sky Stream

I have just switched from Virgin Media to Sky. Can anyone help me with how I setup an ASUS AC mesh router (+ additional nodes) with Sky Stream? Thanks in advance.

Asus mesh is independent of Sky Stream, the Sky Stream service will connect to either a standard alone Asus or a mesh with the correct wireless credentials.

If you are trying to set up Asus mesh with Sky FTTP broadband then you need to set it up with DHCP Option 61 with credentials 'anything@skydsl|anything' without the single quotes under the WAN connection on Asus selecting Automatic IP for DHCP Option 61 parameter field to show.

Note that 'Sky Stream' is the brand name of the Sky subscription television product delivered online to a 'puck': it's not the broadband service.

Sky confuses people by offering their broadband (heavily discounted at the present time) when prospective users are going through the Stream ordering process: these are actually separate contracts.
