from the village of throwawayaccount0001@gmail.com felt we might be interested in the following... > Read the topics here, http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-router > It should help you. Yeah, it does, as I found a link to a site that does exactly what I've already done. I've retrieved the username and password as before, they are the same.... having entered the exact same details as before, the result will be the same, so I'm still stuck. I ought to say at this point, I'm no stranger to configuring routers, especially the Netgear range, but this one has got me stumped, because, from what i see, i have mirrored the Sky settings exactly. -- My reply address is valid, but incoming mail is set to 'auto-delete' so will not be seen.

Before I sold the Netgear DG834 - which was my router prior to the Sky one - I just extracted the username and password as you did. It connected and peformed flawlessly on Sky Broadband! |
