Sky Broadband
Hoorah Im back on the internet, with 2 days of downtime which was quite a nightmare. Recieved the Sky broadband router this morning. During the two days down time I had long conversations with the people at sky.
First I spoke to the “Tech” support center in India, they were as you’d expect rubbish, not technical people at all and just reading off a script. The fact I was using a Non wireless laptop really confused them. When they are confused they just go back to the previous line in thier script and repeat. Good Patients trying stuff.
Any way i discovered the following
- The Sky Broadband router is a rebranded Netgear DG834gt
- The router runs modified firmware
- The ADSL login and password are preconfigured and not accessable from the admin pages of the router
- The default login for the admin pages is:
- Username: admin
- Password: sky
- If you want to find out your ADSL login and password you can do so by the following method ( courtesy of Jose Cardoso )
- access the router with the following URL (assuming your router is 192.168.0.1)
- then the following URL will download the netgear.cfg file you just created containing the username and password
- Best of all I got the UK Tech Support number for Sky Broadband
