Administration of the Max Hub and associated services is largely through the My Sky app: if you don't have a device to host the app then the Max hardware is unlikely to be suitable for your needs.

@Psyclepath  You use the MySky app to access the new hub settings.  https://www.sky.com/help/home/broadband/sky-broadband-equipment/sky-hub/sky-max-hub-settings/article...

i have an i9 3070ti pc, a wireless vr hub and soon a vr treadmil. im pretty tech savy, i just dont like smartphones.

the hub IS needed as my vr settup and my game parties require wifi 6 speeds

i am unable to utilise the app as my android device is 7.0 and minimum is 8.0 i cant install the app on my phone

As I said, the Hub was fundamentally designed for app administration from a mobile device.  It should be accessible by IP address, but there's a very limited range of settings available there.

All ISPs are moving to in-app settings because it's increasingly difficult to get a web browser to talk to hardware which has a self-signed SSL certificate (and, frankly, it's what customers now expect)

In theory it should be possible to use an Android emulator on that PC to host the My Sky app, but I've no idea if it will work.

[Psyclepath]

it does.. good idea, also am i wrong or are they asking for extra money to give me perental controls?

@Psyclepath 

Parental Controls are a feature of the WiFi Max subscription supplement, so yes, there's typically an extra cost.  The Max service is different to the Max Hub itself (and includes, for example, loan of the Max booster 'pods')

[Psyclepath]

these fetures they are wanting extra money for come standard with most routers, its really greedy
