Sky Business Hub BR440

[DanD90]

Hi all,

A friend had an install booked for SBBB but for some reason it couldn't be fitted. They have been told to keep the router. As it's the latest Business Hub with WiFi 6, I thought it might/should work on a Sky Consumer broadband connection.

Does anyone know if this is the case or is there different authentication on the business connections?

Thanks

@DanD90 Regardless of being advised to keep it according to the T & C's the equipment is loaned similar to domestic services, so your friend cannot and  should not be passing the device to another person.

I don't believe it would work on a domestic connectiuon.

@DanD90 it isn't going to break snything plugging it in and seeing if it does connect. Sky wont supportvitvif it does so don't getvrid of your Sky hub.

Tried it in place of the SR203. Unfortunately doesn't connect, only Power and WiFi LEDs illuminate. Can't login to the web interface either, not sure if Sky disable them. 
Have told my friend to return it back to Sky to avoid the possibility of being charged!

@Chrisee , @GD1 that business uses PPPoE avhentication instead of dhcp option 61

@DanD90 if the business hub uses PPOE it wont work on the domestic service.
