I've finally had the bad experience with a Sky Hub Fibre router that everyone warned me about and I'm slightly scorned at the fact that they want £70 for a new one.

Fair play to the chap, he did try and entice me in by knocking a few £££ off and even said try to cancel the subscription to see if the cancellation team would offer be a new one to keep me sweet.

I've had a read around and noticed that if you get a MER enabled router, you can do some shady business and use it.

My question is.....how can I tell if the router I'm looking at is/ has MER? I've done my research and got a few products, but how do people know? Is it just trial and error or is there a certain specification?
 
I'm running a Huawei HG612 BT Openreach modem into an Asus RT-N66U router (with Asus routers you need to install the merlin firmware to run on Sky Fibre.

You can get your login details from a free program called wireshark, YouTube has a few easy to follow vids on what to do.

If you want an all in one modem/router then the TP-Link VR900 on the latest firmware works with Sky Fibre.

Hope that helps?
 
I Use a Netgear D7000

A bit pricey but works a treat on sky fibre. Even has a default set-up on the router.. just need your username and password
