@Leo13  Have you just joined Sky or upgraded your package with Sky?

[Leo13]

@Leo13 
Your original post is not clear. You say your still using your old router. From who? Have you plugged your Sky router in?

[Leo13]

New router from sky, and have that one in, but it's not even showing up to connect to it, it's connecting to old router ip

@Leo13 

So you haven't joined just today if you have an older Sky router...?

[Leo13]

I have, as its all I'm my name now and not ex partners name

[jamesn123]

@Leo13 

If it went live only today it can take up until midnight for the connection to actually work so I'd wait a bit longer.

As for your devices still connecting to your old hub, if you have boosters or Sky Q you need to reset those and connect them to your new hub for the new name to apply.

@Leo13 Can you just explain why you got new router, was old faulty, did you upgrade or change the package, new 18 month contract?

To me it's weird as old router is off and set aside, I keep looking at phone but dead as a doorknob so to speak, thanks for your replies

Likely because you have either Sky boosters, Sky Q or 3rd party extenders using the old hubs SSID. You need to reset them and connect them to your new hub

Hi Jim, me and my partner split up and he has moved out and it was all in his name, now new contract new router all in my name, new router is on old one is set aside, had a text saying sky broadband is ready

[Leo13]
