Regarding MAP-T
I've been looking up threads about this and i hear MAP-T is a feature that Sky rolled out as a default for latest routers.
It seems to be a problem for our devices at home and have tried to turn it off. Trying UPNP, DMZ workaround and it does nothing to fix the issue at all.
I would like it disabled on my line, it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Regarding MAP-T
The 2023 Max Hub is white. An upright black model is the previous (2019) Sky Broadband Hub (SR203) which don't have Map-T functionality.

Re: Regarding MAP-T
@TimmyBGood well the version is SR204. I'm guessing that is the latest version.

Re: Regarding MAP-T
No, that's the G.fast variation of the Sky Broadband Hub, also from 2019 and without Map-T.
The Max Hub is designated as the SR213

Re: Regarding MAP-T
@TimmyBGood thanks for clarifying. I'm guessing the issue is elsewhere. Completely out of solutions here. That was my last assumption.

Re: Regarding MAP-T
What issues are you experiencing?
G.fast has always been an outlier in broadband technology, and is currently being phased out.

Re: Regarding MAP-T
@TimmyBGood My main issue is the router seems to have bufferbloat more than it should have. Especially when it comes to the upload speed. It affects gamers in our household, not so much for general users of course. Computers or consoles are hardwired, still experiencing such issues even with it being the only device on right now.
I tried to solve this by switching over to another router but the modem wouldn't receive any connection from the line.
Hence, why I've resorted to trying to see what could be the issue within the router or the line. One thing I should note, the router takes like 4-5 minutes to reconnect to the line. We have had a replacement for this router and it still does the same thing, which makes me think it's on the line's end. I say this because at the old place I lived at least year, the connection would take a minute at most and also, the modem I used would work with that connection. That's all I can think of to note for issues.

Do you use any Powerline networking adapters at the address? G.fast is known to be peculiarly allergic to them.

Re: Regarding MAP-T
@TimmyBGood I've heard power line adapters are unreliable at times. It's just wired straight.

Almost certainly because a standard VDSL modem cannot talk to a G.fast circuit.
