Sky Glass and Mesh Routers

[Mike237]

I have sky fibre broadband and sky glass. My sky router is in a different room to the sky glass so connects wirelessly via the sky router. I want to buy a mesh router pack to boost my WiFi signal but have read there might be problems with routers cutting each other out. I thought that sky glass had to connect to a sky router? Is this the case or can I somehow turn off the sky router and just use the mesh router as the only router? Also, does the TP Link Deco X95 or X60work with Sky? I have read conflicting threads that seem to say both yes and No? Thanks for your help!

Sky Glass is a simple WiFi 6 client device.  You may be thinking of Sky Q which has a rather more complicated relationship with the ISP hardware.

Thanks. That makes much more sense. I dont think there is anything stopping me getting the mesh routers then. That's really helpful.

@Mike237 if you do go down the route of using third party WiFi it is advised to turn off the WiFi on your Sky hub to avoid interference. I use a Deco set up myself which is linked by an ethernet cable from my Sky hub and set to operate in access point mode which simplifies the set up.

Thanks Chrisee. That's really useful to know. Is it easy to turn off WiFi on the sky hub?
