Asus RT-AX52 as a 3rd Party Replacement Router for Sky WiFi Max Hub

[MrMissingHub]

Long story short ... I recently moved from BT Fibre (900) to Sky Fibre (900) service "went live" on the 12th so plugged in the new Sky WiFi Max Hub (white version).

I soon realised that the Max Hub was not going to be suitable for my requirements after being told to use the mySky App for basic features such as Port Forwarding etc. 

Decided to look for a no frills replacement and very happy to say that I picked up the Asus RT-AX52 (AX1800) for less than £55 on Amazon.co.uk brand new ... the best thing is this just worked out of the box for me. 😀 

If anyone is in the same boat and wants a more traditional hands on experience of configuring their home network, you cannot go wrong with this device router at a great price!

Thanks for sharing.  Do you have SKY Q (I have Q and wonder if this works with the multiple Qmini's I have?) or Glass or only using the wifi?  When you said it just "worked out of the box", it was as simple as plug and play?
