Morning All,
I am changing broadband providers from Virgin to Sky broadband because of awful price increases by Virgin.
I have a poor Wi-Fi house, so have installed 3 access points (TP Link EAP115 N300) and run all Wi-Fi devices from my own created SSID (through the Omada software) rather than from the Virgin router's own Wi-Fi.
My current set up is:
Virgin fibre into Virgin Hub 3.0. Then Ethernet to a TP Link 16 port gigabit switch. Then Ethernet cables to 3 x TP Link EAPs across the house and wired sockets in each room.
A single router location doesn't provide coverage to the whole house, so I never use the router as an access point. My devices connect to 'TP Link' SSID rather than 'Virgin' SSID or are hard wired by ethernet via sockets connected to the switch.
My question is... will I be able to use the ethernet ports on the new Sky router to support the current set up I have (TP Link EAP 115 and switched devices) and connect to WiFi in same way via access points rather than by the new sky router WiFi?
I have a basic knownlwdge of networking, but by no means an expert, so please excuse any mistakes in terminology or basic principle I've made!
Thanks in advance!

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@CoastalTravel thst should work but I would disable the Sky hub's 2 wifi bands in its settings unless you have Sky Q boxes that require it as thst reduces the risk of interference issues.
