Asus RT-N66U is belting router, but if you have any Wireless AC devices and want things a bit more snappy, then you could look at a slightly better model such as
RT-AC66U
RT-AC68U
RT-AC87U
Nope, got a deal on the standard fibre but the guy said he didnt even see the point in the pro....
MORE POWER was my response! Still no discount though!!
Managed to get it with £10 off for 12months and no activation. Happy with that as it saves messing around changing provider.
Will look into the static IP though, that might be handy.
It has been about two years since I first looked into Sky for fibre. Do they offer an "up to 80mb" service yet?
When fibre was first installed at our exchange only BT could offer me an upto 80mb connection (I get 76/16), but as renewal this year and as a Sky TV customer it might be worth asking them for a deal.

They do, it's called Fibre Pro but you have to order it over the phone.
Second this, my RT-N66U is rock solid, great signal, and has lots of tweaks/option to tinker with
Surely Sky will have to drop the 80/20 package price soon as the market moves on
Billion 7800n Sky Fibre
Hi, just been giving a 7800n to use on Sky Fibre tried setting it up but need help please-
1-Wired up correctlly>Master socket RJ11 to DSLPort>Modem>RJ45 Ewan to Ewan Port>Router.
2-In router bios[FM:ukbillion7800nv6_1.06h.dt2.afw latest] Main interface port>EWAN.
In Wan interface if l select Protocols there is no MAC Encapsulated Routing (RFC 1483 MER) either selecting Ewan or Adsl using latest firmware[FM:ukbillion7800nv6_1.06h.dt2.afw]
I know my Sky Password is correct as it worked with other 3rd party routers when l was on Sky Adsl.
Thanks.

You need to use the username/password combo from extracted from the Sky hub, it's not the same user/password as your ADSL as far as I know ... The username / pass combo is in the format of
macaddress@skydsl|NLNNNNLN

My Password works fine from when l got it from my ADSL days.
Its working now, what a difference old Sky Black Hub 39998 Dload/6492UPload > 7800n 39970 Dload/6742UPload.
Hopefully the l might get a bit more UPload speed just goes to show how crap the Sky Black Hub is.
I have the Sky Hub, it's crap because it's got limited features IMO.

UPdate 2- Downloading-
Just downloaded Ghost 29GB from steam at a constant 4.4/4.5 steam just under 2hrs.
Were as the Black Hub would be dancing between 2.o/4.0 with the odd stop normaly l would Dload through the night.
Sky brag how good the latest Black Hub is utter tosh.

This. It is rock solid at keeping my connection up and at a good speed, but my Time Capsule does the wireless stuff. Everything has its assigned IP address; Xbone works well through it and no other problems.
