Sky Full Fibre Gigafast with SR203 router

Hi

 

I just renewed my broadband contract. I already had full fibre @550 mbps but was offered gigafast for only an extra £1 a month. There was a confusing discussion about getting a  new router to get better WIFI but I explained that i don't used the Sky router WIFI and connect a mesh network to the router and my Sky Q box has a wired connection into the router.

 

Can someone confirm that the SR203 router I have will handle the faster connection? I was left with a doubt. 

 

Thanks

@tjt1961 The SR203 that you have and connecting the mesh to the GB/s Ethernet port on the SR203, then the unit is good upto the speed that the port can handle, it is your mesh you have to question not the sky Hub!

Thanks @JimM1.....the upgrade just happened so yes it works.

@tjt1961 Just don't go crazy, mesh is difficult and even my Asus with the 160Mhz backhaul channel struggles although the mobile just now is showing 1134Mb/s connection and the laptop is sitting at 1733Mb/s sync's they are kidding there selfs on BIG time and that's why the unit is Ethernet backhauled at the 1GB/s nic speed as they will get up there in a good day SOMETIMES!
