By calling Sky and signing up for the WiFi Max subscription supplement.

@cjenkz22 Wi-Fi 5 connected laptop to an SR203 Router about 15 foot away and FF500 sky package, speed test to fast, result picture.

Ethernet connected, arround the 490 mark consistantly... Suspect not your router at issue.

SR203 to Asus Laptop wireless

@cjenkz22 You can't purchase 2nd hand Sky broadband or Sky Max hubs as these are loaned to the customer, any you see are classed as stolen property.

@cjenkz22 Do your research and look at Asus as the router direct on your ONT, but only if you are not using a landline via sky!
