Sky WiFi Max - question

DavidKent — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 15:04:10 GMT

I am about to renew my Sky Broadband subscription and interested in the Sky Wifi max router.

My current router has four ports on the back and I need to keep this number as I have several things I plug into my current router (e.g., CCTV)

How many ports does the Sky Wifi max router have please?

Thanks

David

@DavidKent

Note that FTTP broadband would use ethernet port #4 for connection to the ONT (marked WAN for Wide Area Network), so leaving only three available for other things.

@DavidKent

I would note that you can always buy an ethernet switch for about £10 which will give you another 5 ports (4 usable after using one for linking it to your main hub)

Many thanks.

I don't understand the "Sky Glass 55" (on ethernet) & two Stream Pucks (one ethernet / one WiFi)
BT Halo 3+ Ultrafast FTTP (500Mbs), BT Smart Hub 2"

What does this all mean?

Some forum users have signature files listing their household hardware. This can help give context to replies: for example I have Sky Glass and Stream, but don't use Sky Broadband (which isn't available here)

That is @TimmyBGood signature, listing the hardware & services he(?) uses. It isn't part of his answer to your question 🙂
