Possible new customer - Sky Q question

rg99 — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 15:07:38 GMT

I'm looking at Sky Q and Sky FTTP broadband.

Is there any reason why I can't use my own router instead the Sky one?

Most asus rt ax routers work with sky however its best to use an ethernet cable for sky q

Thanks. I have a professional grade router which will work with Openreach FTTP, and I would be connecting the Sky Q by ethernet.

I just wanted to be sure that I could replace the Sky router with my own.

DrayTek. Mine is currently a Vigor 2926, but they have several other models that will do the same job.

As long as you dont want to use Sky VOIP & your router supports DHCP Option 61 then your fine
