Hi there if I decide to buy the XR500 will it work on sky fibre pro ? Any help appreciated

Hi Kushy, you should have no problems getting it to work with Sky Fibre. The Setup Wizard that happens when you first load up the router will detect your internet type and will automatically setup for you or if needed ask you questions but it should be very straight forward.

Hi thanks for reply, the reason I ask is sky don’t like us using other routers and won’t tell us the info we need to set up the non sky router. Also another question does the XR500 work well with the Xbox one X ?

You should be fine, if you have any trouble we can help out. Yes it works very well with Xbox!

Hi thanks can I ask what is the main difference between the XR500 and the X6S please as these are my final two selections and I will buy one or the other also what modem would you recommend to use with them ?

Hi Kushy58,Below are the links for the specs of both routers:Please let me know if you need anything else. :] XR500:https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/networking/wifirouter/XR500.pdf X6S:https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/networking/wifirouter/R8000P.pdf - Jason N
