Hi all, HELP!!!!!

I have just been told that TP-Link Access Point (AP)'s are not compatible with the WiFi 6 technoligy, Sky Max Hub!

Can anyone advise if they are using an AP to extend thier range, I have a garden office, less than 50m run of 4x CAT6A, all lines tested and good, just AP not compatible.

TIA, appoligies if this has been asked before, unable to find any previous comments!

I'd suggest that's not correct: such hardware should work just fine on the end of an ethernet connection.

I would agree Timmy,

However, this was told to me by the Sky Tech help line! I was very supprised when this was told to me, being TP-Link is one of the top supplies for this type equipment.

Thanks Mark B

@MarkBedford73

One might be kind and hope they meant non-Max hardware doesn't integrate into the Max app control system.

Alternatively, they were just wrong...
