Sky Hub as 'access point' used for Phone socket only, as using third oarty modem router

FULL FIBRE; I want to use my Asus Ax1100 Router+Mesh (& DrayTek modem, if its still used in FF) and not use the Sky Hub as a,router.

 

But I guess, I will need the Sky Hub to connect my telephone. Is it possible to use the Sky hub as an 'access point' (with WiFi off), connected via network cable to my Asus Router?

 

Or is there another method, if a sky customer wants to use a third party router? 

 

Thanks Richard (just signed up, now not sure if should cancel).

Yes, you'll need to plug your phone handset into the Hub. I imagine it would work if the Hub was the first connection to the Sky network. I've not seen any previous posts confirming that it works if the Hub is connected to a non-Sky router. 

 

Sky currently has no solution for customers wanting to use their own router in place of the Sky Hub (I doubt they'll develop one either tbh).

Thanks, @Mark39 - just as I thought a bit of a gamble moving to Sky and seeing if various set ups work.
