Any router that can connect to the ONT and authenticate using IPv6 PD.
Asus routers are good for this but there are plenty others that you can get.

It looks like that router doesnt specifically support DHCP Option 61 which is a legacy requirement for Sky lines, most Openreach FTTP lines now support IPv6 PD which I mentioned earlier. So short answer yes it'll likely work unless your in that small group of Openreach lines that dont support IPv6 PD.
