SR213 hub

Hi

I have the black SR203 hub. Would there be any benefit if i purchased a SR213 off Ebay? Would it improve my speeds? As i get 150 - 160 and pay for 500 Mbps,  Althought someone on here said they had a WIFI 6 router off Ebay and their speed had improved.  thanks all

@welshguy2017 Don't buy one off ebay, the routers remain the property of Sky and cannot be legally sold.

Would purchasing a new WIFI 6 router improve my speed? I get 140 - 170 and pay for 500 mbps.

@welshguy2017 In theory it should provided you have WiFi 6 compatible devices, in real world terms it may be different as the causes of slow WiFi can be many and may well be due to the construction of your property or the limitations of your devices.

@welshguy2017 buying a SR213 from ebay is rather stupid as Sky need to add them to your My Sky app before you can manage them properly. As pointed out they are supplied on loan to a specific customer and attached to their account.

The unit will pobably connect but while it can in theory supply faster wifi if the device supports wifi 6 and is close enough as its range is no better than the SR203 you already have. Changing settings using the web interface might work but that is a gamble.

Where can i find out what settings to change?
