I tried to get one when they were free but sold out too fast

bit naff tbh.

1. It's just repeating the wifi signal, rather then connecting to an Ethernet port to act as a WAP.

2. Even if it were connected to a LAN port on the Sky Hub router it would be limited to 100 Mbps max due to them omitting Gigabit ports.

Kind of OK at the moment for internet connectivity purposes but somewhat carp for LAN network purposes.

I got mine for free a year or so ago. I chucked it I think when moving house...

No problems with mine I do wish it was a proper WAP instead of a repeater but it has made wireless much more useable for browsing in our house.
