I am currently using the Sky SR102 router which is connected to another SR102 router across the house via cat5e and all works as it should. I would like to use the Sky Q hub Sky kindly sent to me, but it won't play nice with the SR102 meaning I can't have WiFi across the house.
I looked at wireless access points on Amazon and they are around £60 - £80 for ones with 4/5 ethernet ports (I connect the second SR102 to my Sky box, nvidia Shield TV, Blu-Ray player so the four ports on the hub are handy).
It occurred to me that I could keep the SR102 and just do that but I would like the benefit of ac wireless so I was thinking of buying a 3rd party router to use as an access point, or to use as the main router and use the Sky Q hub (and an unmanaged switch) as the wireless access point, but don't know where to start really.
I would like to maybe squeeze a bit more out of my line if possible and also have more in depth stats (attainable rates and the like).
Can anyone advise?
Many thanks,
Giggsy
