Sky Broadband switching over - but not received Hub yet

[Clinty1701a]

Hi,

My Sky broadband is switching over from PlusNet on Friday 17th Jan, but still not had my hub.

My question is, can I use a TP Link Archer VR600 if it hasn't? According to the manual it will connect fine to an ONT via the WAN port.

Anyone know what additional settings I need?

I might have the hub by Friday, this is just incase as I need the internet to perform my job as just a bit worried.

Thank you

Do you have full fibre fttp or part fibre part fibre fttc?

[Clinty1701a]

Full Fibre - as I have the ONT box.

You should be able to use the archer directly connected to the ont
