Hi,

I have sky fibre with decent speeds but following a move to a bigger house I am seeing the wifi limitations with hub.

I think I am correct in saying that I cant replace the hub altogether but could use the hub as an acess point and add a router?

Couple of questions assuming this is correct.

1 Any recommendations on router wth great wifi strength and ease to set up - ive seen the Asus RT-AC68U which looks good but concerned re my point 3 below

2 How do I set this up? Router into the sky hub via ethernet, turn off wreless for sky hub (?) add sky hub password to new router somehow to allow it access (?) then connect devices via wireless to new router (add a password?)

3 Will sky tv box still work wireless from the new router?

Thanks

Thanks again all.

Went with the plugs and after a bit of sorting the sync between the devices, I now have great wiresless speeds upstairs.

Given how well this has worked I think I will get another reciever to get the wireles into the conservatory.

Thanks smile
