Hi a complete beginner here , has anyone used the Kaon AX Router (AR2140) ? Just changed over to
Sky broadband with close to a gb download . Am I better to use this router or the old
HG659 I had from spark ?

Thanks

I also changed from an HG659 to the Kaon router with Sky Broadband.

Have had no issues with it - and better Wifi coverage at the far end of the house than previously.

I would say stick with the providers router unless you have a definite problem you need to fix.

Always stick with your providers recommended / provided router unless if you've got a very good reason not to use it.
