Use my old Q hub as extender?

Hi All,

Is it possible to use my old Sky Q hub as a wifi extendter,  with Amazon Eero Pro 6 tri-band?

And how is it done?

Thanks in advance

If you  have an a sky q hub they will  ask you to return  it to them as it is only on loan to you. You don't  actually  own it

@Abdnpete  Using 2 hubs would be extremely problematic even assuming you get them both to work, best to invest in network switches and access points if needed.  Both are relatively inexpensive and can give much greater flexibility for exepansion.

@peter-marlow+1966  I believ from some info that customers are not being asked to return Q hubs, most likely as they are being superseded by the newer hubs.

Sky isn't necessarily insisting on Q Hubs being returned now: they are all obsolete by the end of next year anyway as they don't support Sky Talk Internet Calls, and so shouldn't be going out to new subscribers any more.

I was just not wanting to create E waste if possible.

@Abdnpete  You can still send it to recylce if you want to reduce waste.
