Isp routers are diabolical,

If your bored go for a hunt on amazon and punch in tp link routers, look in the comment/review  section and you'll see countless people saying how terrible their isp routers are and how they upgraded to their own tp link routers and all the troubles faded away in reliability, wifi coverage ect. 

I'm with bt fttp. I went for their 1gb fibre 945/110. 

They sent me their own toot and ive never used it or even plugged it in, I plugged in my ax72 straight into the modem that will get fitted to your wall when you have the fttp installed, 

All I can say is the ax72 In my personal experience is its a beast and more than man enough for busy households, I even went out and bought 2 more becuase I wanted absolute coverage for my whole property from my top floor. ( I have a  solid thick internal wall 2 story house) to the bottom of my garden in my man cave. 

the one ax72 was more than man enough to cover my whole property in wifi just at the very top back corner on the top floor was struggling a bit but thats after going through 6 thick brick walls which is more than understandable.

I can even go down my road about 180ft away and still pick up wifi and I'm in a built up area and surrounded with other people's wifi and still pull around 20-30mb down on 5ghz channel😲

In the set up all you have to do is go through set up select the ppoe put in the bt login details and password and you should be good to go 

I've never had anything lower than 875mb down and always hit 109-110 up and thats at all times of the day including peak hours 

Some days in my house I can have upto 50 devices connected and online to my network at one time but on average I'd say 40 on a normal day. 

Most days my eldest boy has his xbox, pc and phone going for it at once then my daughter with her xbox/ streaming and phone

My 2 middle boys with their toot they watch aswell as bashing their xbox and my autistic 4 Yr old who has atleast 3 tablets streaming at the same time plus me and the wife. 

Christmas I mustve had atleast 60 plus devices connected when we had the wife's family over and  never had a crash.

The best thing I did was buy my tp link routers, I've not had that dreaded dad the wifis not working nonsense since I bought them.  

Even better now that tp link are now doing easy mesh so you can buy 2 of the same routers and make them a wireless or wired  mesh setup if you need that extra coverage 

  Hi @Basboi85 

firstly many thanks for the very informative response. Gives me lots to look into. Just have to check whether Sky Q is happy on TP routers then I will get one in prep for switch over in April.

Kind regards

No problems, 

I did read somewhere about sky's isp setting I think off the top of my head it's option 61 or  something so not sure you can do away with the sky router and just use your own ,

I would look Into it for sure as wouldn't want to give you any bad advice 

Hi  @Basboi85 

I just had confirmation from Sky that Q will work with ZZOOMM broadband connected to a TPLINK AX tri-band router. So we will see in April.

many thanks

No worries glad could help even if it was a little, 

Welcome to the rabbit hole of buying your own equipment. 

My advice is Try to plan for what you may need now and in the next few years atleast as tech is always evolving to make your life easier be it a mesh set up or a router, tp link will have something to suit your what you need and want within what ever budget you have
