Hi
I am using a Sky router and have had a hard time getting a consistent signal across the house. If I stand up close to the router the signal is good but otherwise not.
I have decided to replace this with my own router. I note from other posts that not all routers will work alone or with sky and I want an " all in one" box solution that I can use on it's own. I am wondering about either the TP Link Archer VR2800 or TP-Link Archer C5400 v2. Both of these seem to have been reviewed as good.
The thing is one "best router" review says: " The TP-Link Archer VR2800 is a great value router. It ticks all the important boxes, including 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi, it works with ADSL2+, VDSL2 and cable connections – and it even supports Sky Fibre and ADSL connections, which is unusual (although getting your username password details can be a bit of a challenge).
This seems encouraging apart from the challenge bit. Is this likely to be difficult and why?
The review of the TP-Link Archer C5400 v2 doesn't mention Sky so I'm not sure if it would work. If it doe, is it worth the extra cash?
Is there a better option?
Thank you for your help.
