I am currently with Orcon giga fibre. Past the 12month contract so free to look elsewhere. I am also a sky subscriber so the current sky offer is attractive - 12months disney and $79/month

I currently use my own router ( ASUS AC68U). It has a good app where i can remote access and for example switch off the kids internet access.

Does anyone know if the router offered by sky has a similar function?

I assume as both Orcon and Sky are vocus products any change over will be seamless? Keen to get feedback from any GZ'ers out there.

The provided router is a Kaon AR2140 http://www.kaonmedia.com/eng/product/pro02_3.asp?pgrp=113&pidx=114

Thus far I have had no complaints with it. It works - with slightly better WIFI coverage than our previous one did.

There doesn't appear to be an equivalent app for it like ASUS provides.

There is a Kaon WIFI app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kaonmedia.cpe&hl=en_NZ&gl=US but it doesn't appear to support the router. Looks more for access point / mesh setup and control.
