Is your address in the UK or RoI?

Sky UK uses a somewhat less common connection method which some router models do not cater for.

@Jantavia 

If you have an ADSL connection then you should be authenticating against PPPoA (or PPPoE, I can never remember which is correct) - in the UK or ROI.

UK VDSL is not the above and the Deco's struggle with an 'easy' connection method if you're trying to use them to replace the Sky Hub, you could

connect them to the Hub, in AP mode and turn the Wi-Fi on the Hub off.
