The new hub is theoretically faster but relies on a 5GHz signals to achieve higher speeds shich can be a problem in older homes.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The other potential issue is you cannot split the 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals as WiFi6 requires both to be synchronised which if you have IOT kit can be a pain. Most devices can be madecto connect by temporarily turning off the 5GHz band connecting the devices and then switching it back on which works with most devices.</P> Tue, 07 Oct 2025 14:53:06 GMT Chrisee 2025-10-07T14:53:06Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-WIFI-Max/m-p/5109232#M523242 <P>Debating whether to upgrade router to sky wifi max, currently have gigafast Internet with loads connected. Would I be able to just change new router name and password so my current devices would auto connect and would older devices still connect i.e. is it backward compatible.</P> Tue, 07 Oct 2025 13:52:44 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-WIFI-Max/m-p/5109232#M523242 andy7bhoy 2025-10-07T13:52:44Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-WIFI-Max/m-p/5109289#M523262 <P><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/358710">@andy7bhoy</a>&nbsp;Changing the name no problem older devices you may have to work at to get those going!</P> Tue, 07 Oct 2025 14:51:00 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-WIFI-Max/m-p/5109289#M523262 JimM1 2025-10-07T14:51:00Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-WIFI-Max/m-p/5109292#M523265 <P><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/358710">@andy7bhoy</a>&nbsp;yes you can change the SSID and password to match your current hub - thexsetting is in the My Sky app. If you have Sky Q boxes I would not reccomend switching to Sky Max as you lose the Q box's wifi hotspots.
