I've always wondered if gigabit adds unnecessary cost to a device like this.
It has modern speed wifi, if I don't *need* gigabit, I'd rather pay slightly less.
(Unless the 10/100 stated is wrong!)

yes just plug this into a LAN socket and use as a wireless access point, of course you will be limited to the lan port speed but your fibre is only 38mb anyway.......

It won't work without a modem. You need model router with RJ11 Socket for sky
I thought I could turn the sky router into a modem then this would work although I did try that once before and the router messed about and then reset itself so I gave up. Was looking into getting the sky q router but people are moaning about wireless on that

Sky encrypt the network username and password, so you'd have to packetsniff the router usin Wireshark to get those details so that you can use another router.
There's no need to try and turn the Sky router in to a modem, since it's already a modem router. Forget about configuring the Sky router, all you need to do is configure the router in this deal as an access point so it provides 802.11ac wireless coverage for your network.

Any router can be turned in to a wireless access point. So the Sky router stays as the main router and this router would be setup as a wireless access point.
There are two main types of consumer routers which are cable routers such as the one in this deal and ADSL/VDSL routers for ADSL and/or Fibre.

Sorry what I mean is you can turn the sky router into a modem only mode then plug it into the dlink the problem I have is port forwarding on the sky router you can only set a small amount and also sky router no 5ghz and 150 speed wireless. Think I will need to spend some descent money to get what I want.

Give the new router the same name and access code (& authentication) as the main one and you can enjoy 'semi' seamless networking, where the whole home is covered by the one WiFi instead of multiples.

TP-Link TD-W9970 Firmware
Username/password extraction no longer needed sky dropped that requirement last year for fibre, simply use:
Username: [email protected]
Password: install
