    Afternoon all.

    I'm really not up to speed with networking, so excuse the ignorance.

    I'm looking to upgrade the Sky fibre router I got when I joined a couple of years back, but haven't a clue where to start. I have a WD MyCloud NAS thing, that I'd like to connect via USB so it can be accessed across the network. Other than that, I haven't a clue what I should be looking for! :o

    The local Tesco have this TP Link Archer D2 AC750 reduced at the minute to €26. Would that do me?

    Really haven't a clue like.

    What sky service do you have? If its "Sky Fibre" then that wont work.

    What do you want to achieve? Also sky make this process difficult just so you're forewarned.

    Cheers ED.

    Yeah, Sky Fibre.

    As to what to achieve, not sure. Just figured things would be bigger/faster/better with a "branded" router.
