Title: Replacing NowTV Hub 2 with ASUS N66U. Can't reach BT openreach modem to flash FW
Post by: mistersee on January 27, 2018, 06:37:25 PM
Hi,

I've been working on replacing my NowTV Hub 2 which I believe is a rebadged Sky Q hub with an ASUS RT-N66U router using this guide

https://www.avforums.com/threads/how-to-replace-sky-sr102-with-another-router-sky-fibre.1939217/

I've followed the guide all the way through, flashed the newest version of Asus-wrt-Merlin to the router and entered the NowTV username and password (which is exactly the same format as the example Sky user/pw in the above walkthrough) in the Manual clientID field and applied the settings. Now the router is saying that there is no internet connection, specifically "Your ISP DCHP does not function properly"

The guide above says that the BT modem doesn't need to be unlocked but I thought I'd give it a try following the guide on Kitz here

http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/hg612hacking.htm

I managed to get to the software update page after the initial reset but got called away and had to shut down. Unfortunately I now can't get to the software update page again. I have tried doing the long reset method at the bottom of the walkthrough but this doesn't seem to work as the modem doesn't reboot after 10+ seconds.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
