I have quite a large cabled home network with 3 routers at various locations in addition to the Sky hub. The Internet is a newly installed fibre. The wi-fi is working everywhere but PCs plugged into the routers are showing on the local network but have no Internet. Are there any special settings that relate to this hub? The routers have set IP adresses and their DHCP is set off so that clients go back to the Sky router for addresses. DNS is either set in the routers via DHCP or where there is an option set to google's DNS 8.8.8.8
A separate question... is it possible to get a longer lead for between the Sky Hub and the fibre box? I believe ordinary patch cables won't work?

It's a standard ethernet connection: any Cat5e or better up to the usual 100 metres should be fine.

Four routers at one location is frankly horrible unless you are running a major corporate network: why not one router and three switches (with or without wireless access points)?

The routers are configured as APs so it's a cable n/w with 3 APs
