Hi fellow gurus
Recently had sky fibre 500 fitted
It's fttp with the new open reach ont fitted to wall. The sky hub WiFi wont reach to our farthest bedrooms in bungalow from it's position in living room. Ive got a Netgear Orbi dual set rbk50 package.
Is it possible to use this package instead of the sky hub sr213 as my router and satellite to increase WiFi so I can ditch the sky hub completely.
Could Anybody please give me details to correctly set this package up please as im a network noobie
Cheers for reading

Also the character after @skydsl is it a foward slash or that exact character as it looks like a long line

If your Orbi only has one field for both user and password fields you need a pipe symbol to separate the two fields which is shown as | when typed
