Using my own Asus router with Full Fibre

Currently with Virgin Media (Modem Only Mode) using an Asus RT-AX82U router.
Moving over to Sky Full Fiber 500 and would like to use my own RT-AX82U router instead of the router supplied by Sky. I believe this is possible - although I understand I will loose the ability to use the Sky telephone service and should I require support from Sky I would need to plug their router back in.

 

Can you please confirm if it would just be the following two settings that would need making on my Asus router - 

WAN Connection type = Automatic IP

Client-identifier (Option 61) = anything@skydsl|anything
Are there any other settings that would need reviewing?

 

Lastly, can I replace the Sky router with my own on day1 or is there still a training/learning period (such as used to apply to ADSL) meaning that I would need to leave the Sky router in for Xdays before replcaing with my own.

 

Thanks,

Steve
