Can anyone recommend any other routers that will work with Sky Max?

Thanks

The search function comes in handy at times

Seems pretty straight forward to use your own equipment really.

No you don't have to use the one supplied.

I know how to extract my password and login details,I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if they have had better stability using other routers.

Hmmmm.

I am well aware that people have found a way to circumnavigate the security on the supplied router.

But it's likely, is it not, that Sky would insist you are on that router should you phone to report a problem and hey - for all I know it's in their T&Cs that you should be using it.

There are distinct advantages to an ISP in enforcing the CPE choice, though I can understand why people would not want to.

But in your earlier reply you said none worked. Make your mind up.
