Noticed that I had a TP link WDR3600 in the cupboard so I've flashed that with DDWRT and in the process of trying to use that.

Following this guide http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-broadband-fibre-help/49566-step-step-sky-fibre-working-dd-wrt-tp-link-tl-wr1043nd.html

I'm at point "3.13) Power off the TP-Link router and connect the WAN port to the BTO Modem"

"BTO modem" is the sky modem right? And connect it to the 'internet' port on the back of my TPlink? (thats what its labelled :p)


They've stated to use this command

Code: [Select]

killall udhcpc
/usr/sbin/udhcpc -i vlan2 -V "6.14.1aN_UNI|PCBAFAST2504Nv1.0" -c "XXXXX@skydsl|ff16d3d4" -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc &
But I dont have a sagem router I have an Sr102, is this correct?

Code: [Select]

killall udhcpc /usr/sbin/udhcpc -i vlan2 -c "XXXXXX|XXXXX" -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc
The WAN ip im getting is 192.168.0.18  which im sure is incorrect?

Anyone?

By "BTO Modem" I think it means the Openreach/Huawei one.

Im confused, why would I go through all the effort to get my TP link one to work to only go ahead and find I have to use another modem with it (hg 612)?
Also the hg612 doesnbt have my settings so why would i connect that one up? (following the guide, it mentions nothing about what a 'BTO' modem is or what its referring too).

[Dray]

It's because the TP Link WDR3600 doesn't have a VDSL modem built-in so it cannot connect to Sky fibre without one. You need to use a VDSL modem with it.

The hg612 would be acting as a modem only, so you don't need to configure it with anything; all configuration (username/password etc) would be done in the TP-Link.

the hg612 in its default configuration doesn't need any settings, it is bridged. all it does is translate frames from one form to another. Authentication is handled by the device behind it, in this case your TP Link.

Sky is said to be a bit unique in this respect, though?

That guide says:

You now need to start the DHCPC process with the Client Identifier, I used an example username and password in the image below. The command is dhcpc -i ptm1.101 -I ptm1.101 -c "123abcd456@skydsl|654dcba321" (with double quotes around the username and password) - you need to replace '123abcd456@skydsl|654dcba321' with your own Sky Fibre username and password. Once you have entered that your modem will be connected to the internet.

Don't gloss over this, it's probably essential (client identifier).

I've not done it myself though, so can't tell you definitively.

What exactly are you trying to do though? What's your goal?

See where are you getting that info? because the guide i was told to follow doesnt have that mentioned?

All im trying todo is get rid of the dam sky router. I have an hg612 and wdr3600.

so hg612 as a modem and wdr3600 for everything else, but im just about ready to give up on it.

Have you obtained your sky username and password from the sky router?

[sgtpepper]

yep

I might be having a senior moment - but in your picture its says no vdsl modulation ?

Is this a sky fttc or adsl set up your after ?

Just so I've read correctly the set up?

HG612 Lan 1 to Wan port on the router {changing the ddwrt default ip away from 192.168.1.1 so no conficts}

HG612 Lan 2 to a spare ethernet port on the ddwrt router

All the usual Mer password set up ect checked that the computer's nic (local area connection in windows) no still defaulting back to the sky hubs 192.168.0.1 sub
