I find its range is ok and covers from loft room to ground floor rooms

Do add an access point on a downstairs window sill for summer garden coverage though

That's my thought as well, but there have been a few people with that problem over on Sky's forums.

I suppose if you consider a family of four with teenage kids; four phones, four tablets/iPads, a couple of laptops, printer, smart TV, Chromecast, AppleTV, NowTV box , couple of games consoles, all connected wirelessly..... it can soon add up without you realising I suppose.

Yes but not simultaneously. Four people using 4 devices at once need to get out more!

Was Eclipse Home Option 1, VM 2Mb & O2 Standard
Now Utility Warehouse (up to 16mbps) via Talk Talk

We have often over 16 devices connected to the router... It's always fine for us. We have multiple phones, printers, apple TVs, two sky boxes, laptops etc connected.

The phones, printers, Apple TVs, smart TVs etc would be always connected if we are home.

Range wise it's a lot better than the home hub 4 in my house.

The T&C's may prohibit using non - Sky routers but I've been using my own router for well over a year now on my fibre connection and they know I am. It's because they wanted me to pay £69 for a new SR102 when my old Sagem router blew up and I refused. As I told them, if they want me to use their router they should supply a replacement FOC.

I've never had any problem getting support from them but they have a dedicated team for Fibre Pro that know what they are talking about.

My personal experience with the sky SR102 has been poor. My old be box works much better, and I'm using that now on ADSL. It's the sky hub that's putting me of moving to fibre with sky

I used the username/password from my old ADSL2 router Sky supplied because I never bothered extracting them from the fibre router before it expired.
