Okay so I'm pretty underwhelmed by the sky Q router so I've ordered a Netgear D7000 with hopes of replacing the Q router, I can find lots of guides and info on replacing the sr102 fibre router but nothing about the Q variant, is it possible and if so what's the procedure?

I should add I don't use the mesh that the Q router plays a part of.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help me out, thanks.
 
Thank you for the reply mate. I wouldn't mind if the sync speed was less with the nighthawk we are on an 80/20 line and don't require so much speed it's mainly the dreadful WiFi performance of the Q hub and how badly it deals with my local gamestream setup. I didn't want to create a double NAT which I would get if i piggy backed into the qhub?

Reading around it looks like you no longer need you're username and password for fibre anymore anything in the right format will do the job. I could always give the nighthawk the same Mac address as the Q hub as well.

The nighthawk arrives tomorrow so I will have a play around then.
 
Setup was a breeze, just picked sky and put in a random username/password in the option 61 box I also decided to puse the mac address of the q hub just incase it helps (it wont hurt) synced up at 79999/20000 which is the same as the q hub but im getting far better wifi and gamestream performance.
