Nighthawk XR1000 Pro Gaming Router - Will this directly replace my Sky Broadband Router?

Hey All!

Hope you're all safe and well!

I'm currently looking to purchase a gaming router, and have been looking at the Nighthawk XR1000 Pro Gaming Router. Just wondering if anybody has any experience with this, and whether or not this router will be compatible with Sky Broadband and directly replace my existing Sky Router?

Thanks in advance!

    You will need an existing modem/router/ethernet connection point for the router to gain internet. If you can do this without the Sky router then it is possible to replace it with the XR1000. You may need to use DHCP identifiers in order to get a connection with this method.
