There should be - the only thing is that some settings for NowTV broadband will be preset in your current router, and you will need to know what these are to set them in your Asus. Also that your ASUS is capable of doing what NowTV broadband requires of it.

 

Call the Broadband phone line and ask them; below is the best copy I can make of the settings I needed to make in my Netgear Nighthawk to replace the supplied BT Home Hub that was proving unreliable; you will need the comparable settings for your router, on NowTV broadband. Shows the fields you might need values for, anyway.

 

BT was in my ISP dropdown there, which made it easier and filled in some of the values, though not all; NowTV isn’t. Might be like Sky, might have to use Other if it’s not.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
