Re: Second router not connecting to internet
Are they really two routers, which would be highly unusual, or a router & an extender? What are the model numbers?

Re: Second router not connecting to internet
@TracyMearns to explain a little more a network requires one router as that controls the network adding a second device acting as a router can cause all sorts of issues unless you know what you are doing. To extend WiFi the second unit needs to be able to run in access point mode which cannot be done with an old Sky hub (this applies to most other isp supplied units). You can set up somevthird party routersxas Access Points or buy dedicated units.
65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode
