3rd party router details

[Grampians]

Hi

Appologies if this has been asked previously, however strugglging to find the correct answers.

Looking to move to Sky Broadband, however wish to use my own router.

1. Can I use a 3rd party router (TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro ) on FTTP.

2. Is it a ppoe config? if so what is the sky username and password?

Thanking in advance.

Thanks

The settings need to be DHCP Option 61 or, on about 80% of exchanges, DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (PD), which some TP-Link routers support correctly but doesn't always work with the broadband exchange but is worth trying on the TP-Link router connected to the ONT.

You may have to plug it in at the back of the sky router turn off WiFi on the sky router that's what I have been doing but I don't have tp-link ones I have mesh Wi-Fi
