Linking Sky Max to Deco BE65 Mesh network
I am just moving to SKY from Virgin Media, I have a TPLink Deco BE65 set up (4 mdules) currently connected to the Virgin Hub which is in Modem Mode, It all works great. I am hopingto just replace the Virgin Hub with the SKY Max Hub, but I have seen people saying I can't switch the hub into Modem Mode, is this true or is it somthing I could ask SKY to do remotely? Or is there another Hub I could use available from SKY? I have a few weeks until the Fibre is installed and the SKY Max hub hasn't been delivered so I could back out it the setup isn't compatible. Thank you

Sky has never had a Hub model with a modem mode.

I have a pair of BE65's with one hooked up to the Max router. The Sky router has WiFi disabled and the Deco's are set to AP mode. Works brilliantly.
Edit: you probably already know but you won't need to faff about conecting everything via WiFi again doing this.
