Model: Archer VR2800

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi all, after hours and hours of trying and googling I am at a loss.

Is it possible to replace the sky hub with the VR2800 ?

If not ,is it possible to run the VR2800 with the sky hub. I have had this sort of working but far from perfect 😭

Failing that, can anyone suggest a set up or mesh brand that will allow the removal of the sky hub , and increase wifi range.

Any easy to follow help would be absolutely fantastic. I appreciate any help.

Hi, normally the ISP-provided hub will have better compatibility with their DSL service.

If possible, it is suggested to still keep their hub, but set it up as a bridge modem; then connect the WAN/LAN port on VR2800 to the Sky hub.

After that, set up VR2800 on wireless router mode. The internet connection is very likely to be PPPoE.

Best regards.
