What router do you get with Sky broadband?

Anyone choosing the Full Fibre 75 or Full Fibre 150 will get the very capable Sky Broadband Hub for free. These give great coverage to multiple devices and you should get speedy and reliable connection throughout your home.
This router is part of the fifth generation (so, not Wi-Fi 6) in networking standards. It operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (dual-band), and features a powerful array of eight internal antennas for enhanced coverage. It also offers four gigabit-speed Ethernet ports for fast wired connections, plus smart features like automatic channel selection and the ability to self-recover from issues
Sky WiFi Max Hub
Anyone choosing the Full Fibre 300, Full Fibre 500 or Full Fibre 900 will now get the Sky WiFi Max Hub. It’s an upgraded version of the above Sky Broadband Hub. It’s a more powerful version that is a next-generation router and can support Wi-Fi 6 and handle up to 120 devices.
The Gigafast+ hub
Built with WiFi 7 technology, the Gigafast+ hub is designed for customers choosing the new 2.5 and 5 Gigafast+ packages, giving them secure speeds, lower latency and less lag for streaming, working and gaming, all at the same time.
Developed in collaboration with Comcast, and the first global WiFi device from Comcast and Sky, the tri-band Gigafast+ hub optimises internet traffic to avoid congestion between connected devices in the home. Plus, it includes two 10 Gbps ethernet ports (1 x WAN and 1 x LAN) to support a direct connection for faster speeds for heavy streamers and hefty file downloaders.
Sky Broadband customers get the speeds they’re promised or money back. Customers who choose Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast+ and Full Fibre 5 Gigafast+ will also get WiFi Max (for no extra cost) which guarantees WiFi coverage in every room or money back.
Sky Broadband Boost
For a small extra monthly cost (£5 at the time of writing this article) you can get Sky Broadband Boost added to your package. This gives you Wi-Fi boosters, a Wi-Fi guarantee of minimum speeds in every room, a daily check run on your line and no-cost engineer visits. This is definitely worth thinking about for anyone living in remoter locations.
