Hi,
I've just had Sky broadband installed. Iy came with their home hub 6.
I'd like to use my own router so I have better WiFi cover in my house. My router is Asus RT-AC86U.
I'm unsure if I replace Sky's home hub with my router, or connect my router to Sky's built hub. Also, any specific settings.
Is there a set up guide out there that I can use.
Thanks
Best Answers

Whether to fully replace the sky hub with the asus depends on whether you want to use sky internet calls
Make sure asus is on latest firmware
If you are on full fibre in the uk then to replace the sky hub
Locate client identifier (option 61) and enter anything@skydsl|anything
Sky Stream , Sky Superfast, SR203 router, Tp link td w9970 + Asus RT AX58U (backup), Xbox Series X, google home mini, LG 55 inch uhd tv, with Dolbyvision, samsung a5 2017 and samsung s21
