When we moved into our new-build house in 2014 we went with Plusnet but when FTTP became available Plusnet didn't offer VOIP so we transferred to BT & subscribed to their gigabit broadband & VOIP package & although we have had no problems the cost is £85 & a colleague recommended Sky so I'm thinking of getting a Sky gigabit broadband & Sky Talk unlimited package which will save me around £27 pm.
However, my colleague had the Alexa issues that have been well documented in other posts when he got his new Sky gigabit router & eventually I advised him to return it & continue to use he existing black router which he has done.
My situation is that I have 14 Blink CCTV cameras, 4 Tapo CCTV cameras & numerous Echo Dots, Echo Flexes & a couple of Echo Shows plus around 50 smart plugs. Ethernet sockets & landline sockets were installed in most rooms when the house was being built & a mesh sytem handles all the WiFi devices. I plugged the BT router landline socket into the BT master socket ( so I could still use the sockets) that Openreach left in situ & plugged a digital base station into the hall landline socket which enables all our digital phones to work & a couple of analogue phones plugged into the room sockets.
Obviously I don't want to have issues with all of this setup but I'm assuming that if ( as I did from Plusnet to BT) I change the Sky router SSID name to the Plusnet SSID name & the Sky router password to the Plusnet router password everything should work from the switch on.
The Tenda WiFi mesh system is tri-band with one 2.4GHz channel & two 5 GHz channels & the WiFi on the BT router is disabled.
Can anyone see where my assumption may not work if I do swap to Sky?
Thanks you for any advice or suggestions.
