Switching out Sky Max hub for third party router

Hi all,

Just wanted to see if anyone has a better experience switching out from the Sky Max router to a third party router?

As a whole, it’s not too bad however it has a few issues where basic radio streams and sometimes the sky pucks will buffer and then carry on as normal for another couple of hours. Also has a few hanging issues when loading basic apps/sites which I haven’t had with other providers. I don’t believe it’s a line issue as my PS5 runs smoothly connected through Ethernet so I’m unsure whether it’s just a hardware issue.

I’ve ordered an ASUS TUF BE3600 and I’m planning on sacking the Max Hub and connecting it directly to the ONT. Just wanted to see if anyone’s done anything similar and has had no issues since. Thanks!
