This is not a good start.
I have not recieved by Now TV Hub which means I will not be able to access my broadband services that are supposedly transfering today.
So when will I get it as today(31/3/22) is my switch date?

Interesting, is the the one shown here: TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub review | TechRadar
It does say in that review, "while the TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub is designed to deliver a performance boost for TalkTalk customers, it can also be bought separately and used regardless of your ISP", however I would have thought it would need more that just a factory reset to make it work on Sky/Now.
Still, good that you tried it and found it works.😀
EDIT: Looking at the specs, it may actually be a better router than the badged Sky Q router Now supply, at least it has 4 ethernet ports.

TalkTalk uses DHCP/IPoE, same as Sky, although they don't need the famous option 61 enabled to authenticate their customers.
Their Sagemcom WiFi Hub can be also configured to work on PPPoE connections (and has no IPv6 support).
I'm personally with TalkTalk at the moment (potentially switching to Now when my contract ends) and I'm not using this router because its WiFi signal is unreliable, plus too many bugs in its firmware.
