SKY Fibre Broadband - Which TP Wifi router is best
Hi
I hope someone can help me?
I have sky and they have rather unhelpfully discontinued the sky broadband buddy app, which as a parent has been a lifesaver for control over the kids devices etc.
A bit of digging on the sky forums have suggested a TP product to be able to use the Tether app, which has similar features/ parental controls. I popped into Currys to find out which one would work the best with my fibre broadband as the sky forums seemed to indicate that there can be problems with compatibility. however, the 'expert' i spoke to wasn't very knowledgeable and pretty much repeated what I said I already knew.
So from what I can make out so far -
- I will have to connect a new router via an ethernet cable to the sky router already in place
- the sky router will act as a modem if this is the case, I can't just replace it
- Sky are tricky and won't let you replace their router
- Something to do with MER?? Hence me asking about which router will work
As you can see I have limited knowledge, I am fairly tech savvy so with instructions I should be okay to set up but I don't want to buy anything until I know it will definitely work. As the man in Currys also helpfully told me, I can't return it if I've opened the box/slash used it!
Please can you help me regain the control I once had over the internet in my home - I have a 17 year ADHD daughter who cannot limit herself time wise and I need to be able to switch things off at night to support her.
Many thanks!
