Sky Ultrafast FTTP & Asus XD5

[m1stergeorge]

Hiya, I'm going to be moving to a property with Sky Full fibre in the next few months and will need to upgrade the exisiting router to a mesh system as I'm going from a small flat to a 3-bed house across three floors.

That said I'm looking at going for a Mesh style system but would ideally like to not have the need of the Sky Hub (more power outlets, more cables etc).  Can anyone confirm if they are using the Asus XD5 Mesh system with Sky Fibre and if there are any pitfalls?  I *think* it should be ok as I know that TP Link dont support the Option 60-something hence also looking to change routers.

Many thanks.

@m1stergeorge Good choice and you should have zero issues connecting it direct onto the ONT FF connection. Using the XT8 big brother off the XD5.

Ah nice one, thanks fella.

@m1stergeorge And so you are aware i am NOT using any off the option 60/61 control as it was not needed for the direct FF500 connection that i am on...

Ah Result! Am looking forward to having full control of the FF connection lol
