Hello. My old ISP set up was a TP-Link system with mesh extenders around the house. Unfortunately, the ISP was pants hence changing back to Sky. I was hoping the SR203 would cover the whole house but sadly not.
Question is, can I unplug my Sky router and use the AC1200 instead? Is it just a matter of user name/password or is it more in depth?
Or, can I connect the Sky router via its WAN port to 'drive' the WAN port on the AC1200?
Thank you

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more3rd party routers need to be able to authenticate via DHCP Option 61 to work without the Sky hub in place. Many TP-Link routers dont or dont support it however there is another option which is IPv6 PD however it doesnt work on all lines.

thanks, so that means using the AC1200 as the modem is a non-runner.
as the wifi isn't even reaching 15 feet, I may have a duff SR203
