What do you hope to do with the WNDR4500? Sky usually supplies a device that also acts as a router. (The exact nature of its boxes depends on the sort of Internet you get.)
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. This explains some of the drawbacks.
What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
If you just want the WNDR4500 to extend your wifi, then look into putting it into "AP mode".
This does disable some features, but nothing that is likely to matter much given your Sky box.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual that describes AP Mode. If you can't leave the WNDR4500 plugged into the Sky thingy, you could also look at the bit in Wireless Repeating Function (WDS).

Good luck.
You might get more sense out of people if you described what you were trying to do, and the details of your local network.
