Is anyone using any of the above routers successfully with sky broadband, specifically fibre. Even technical support at asus couldn't tell me bizarrely if there product supported dhcp option 60/61.

it would help if anyone is using any of the above successfully with sky fibre?

any help would be appreciated!

The Asus XT8, XT9 and ET12 all support DHCP Option 61 and DHCPv6 PD, as I've helped those on the forum set these up and have an Asus XT8 and ET12 Pro and can confirm these have the required options for connecting to Sky broadband.

@Freddythefrog many Sus routers do support the necessary DHCPv4 Option 61 but if you want to check a specific model simply use the forum search. I entered Asus XT9 and got this result
