NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 with Sky Q (UK)
Hi
Im in the UK with SKY Q for TV and a Sky hub for fibre broadband. The sky hub is pretty useless for wifi so on prime day I saw this on offer and went for it. Assumed that I could put the Sky hub in modem only mode and use this router for the wifi but am now not sure from what I am reading online whether this is possible and whether I should have got a router with a built in modem. Has anyone used one of these with Sky Q and can confirm or deny wheter it will work or not.
Thanks

You'll have to ask the Sky users for advice on how to use whatever Sky hub you in modem only (bridged) mode.
In the meantime, if you just want better wifi, you can use the RAX80 in wireless access point (AP) mode. But expect to lose some features:
