Hi,
No wireless connections to the router. I have a sky q box and sky told me that 16 was the maximum, anymore and it’ll start causing problems.
in today digital environment, 16 is sooo low. Everything in the house that can be joined by Ethernet, is joined by Ethernet. But, as you can imagine that’s not helpful with 5 of us. 5 mobile phones, iPads ps3 and 4’s it all starts adding up. So wondering if to use the NETGEAR router as DHCP, as sky won’t let me use third party equipment.
hope I’ve made myself a little clearer
regards
dave
