Most of the Asus routers support MER (especially using Merlin's FW) but plenty of alternatives out there.

The TP-LINK VR900 works with Sky, you'll need a BETA firmware directly from them first, though its due to be officially released soon (I've got it if you need it?)

I've had the RT-N66U on my Sky Fibre for about 18 months now, absolutely fautless never needed to reboot it. Get good Wifi too. Really worth the money.

It is yes, I just remembered your SR102 has the VDSL modem built in. Mine has the separate BTOpenreach modem.

Hi Space Monkey how easy was it to setup and do you know if it will work with sky fibre pro as Im getting the fibre unlimited 36mb but might upgrade to the 76mb in the future

Its just a file, install is dead easy, one click and you're done

Fibre pro should be no different?
