Hi all, so here's some background info.
Up to 2017, I was with BT. Solid 67mb wired and wireless everywhere in the house.
In 2018, I left BT Fibre to go to Sky Fibre as it worked out over £10 cheaper per month. However, the Sky Q Hub performance was awful. 67mb wired, but around 25mb wifi, just stood in front of the hub. I tried everything. I even tried a WiFi access point with the hub, and still could only get 25mb wifi. Even streaming upstairs would buffer and stutter.
Sky let me leave and I came back to BT and the performance was back how it was.
2019, and Sky is now £12 a month cheaper, and other users don't seem to have a problem with the hub, so I'm wondering whether it was how I had set it up? Especially given that I attached an AP to the Q hub and couldn't get the top speed I get now.
My thoughts on current options are:
- Wait in the hope that Sky provide the new planned router to any new fibre customers very soon
- Get recommended a better AP to connect to the Q hub to give me the same performance that the BT hub gives me
A further option, is that I was thinking of buying a cheap Sky Q hub from eBay with the intention of connecting it to the BT hub, and making the Sky Q be the access point to test performance and see if I can get the Sky Q hub's wifi working how I want it before ordering the real deal. Is this possible?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
