An asus rt ax wifi 6 router would suffice.  It will replace the sky hub and directly connect to the fibre ont

Not a direct replacement but only requires minor configuration.

WiFi 7 is entirely unnecessary for most practical purposes: WiFi 6 is of questionable benefit.

 

Note that if you don't use a Sky Hub, you cannot have Sky 'landline' telephony.
