Can I configure a Sky Max Router that I got from a freind? and How do I obtain a Sky Max Pod?

[aide199a]

Morning,

I've just recently upgraded to the Sky Full Fibre and a mate of mine had a spare Sky Max router thar he doesn't use. so I'll be swapping over my existing Sky Hub 4.2 with the Sky Max Router on the 29/5 when my Full Fibre gets activated.

2 questions I have is:

Will I be able to configure my router (Port Forwarding etc, etc,) as I've heard that some settings are locked down on the router and you have to use the 'Mysky app' as I presume the MySky app will only show my existing Sky Hub 4.2 as I didn't obtain the router from Sky.

And my final question is, who do I conatct (if needed) to obtain a Sky Max Pod, as stated earlier, I obtained this router from a mate of mine and not directly from Sky.

Thanks in advance

@aide199a  Your friend should not have given the roputer away it is not their property, if they no longer use it for Sky Broadband or have a different provider it needs to be returned to Sky.

The sky max wifi hub 

If you want one then you need to contact sky  to order one and to set it up you have  to scan  the q r code  that comes  with to down load  instructions  this is then add to your  account  and costs as I  know an extra  £10 a month  on your  broadband  bill, and yes your friend if he doesn't  use his then he needs to send it back to sky as it is not owned  by him only loaned by sky and if he leaves  sky he has to send all equipment  back

Without being the legitimate user of the Max Hub through having a WiFi Max subscription you will not be able to do either of those things.
