Hi, I've been trying for a while to get the hg612 working on my sky ADSL connection. My plan (hopefully) is to use it in  bridge mode as a gateway for another router. I've been through the usual unlocking procedure. Tried B030SP08 firmware first (both unlocked & webgui) which I managed to get the wan connected, dsl synched and all the right numbers come up in the right places, ( IP, subnet mask, etc) apart from dsl connection mode & type showing wrong info (gdmt,ptm) despite what was set and no DSL up time. I've since reverted to B030SP06 which seemed more promising as the dsl connection mode and traffic type were showing the correct info ( adsl2+, ATM) but alas still no luck and out of ideas. If someone could throw me a bone or point me in the right direction I'd be most grateful.

I should mention that I wouldn't of got this far if not for the fantastic informative info on this site.

Hello,

Have you added an atm connection on the WAN page...as shown below?


and checked the correct boxes on the DSL page??

I used to use install@o2broadband.co.uk on my connection.
It also requires 'mer' in settings.

I'm pretty sure that all sky ADSL lines are back on PPPoA now.

[Dangeruss]

Morning, thanks for the replies. I can confirm, I do  have an ATM connection setup as shown Ian. Got the details off of my sky sr102 which shows it as being adsl2+ & PPPoA. Out of desperation I've also already tried the install@o2 method, although I wasn't aware it had to be mer (which I haven't seen anywhere in the settings). Not sure if this will help, but here's my exchange. https://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/WNPG. Let me know what info is needed (logs etc) and I'll do my best to provide it. Seems like all my info is correct and all the line stats are there but I'm not being authorised to use it, maybe?

[parkdale]

Sorry yes your right I was using a Billion 7800n which has the mer (Option61) box

Encapsulation: PPPoA
Username: install@o2broadband.co.uk
Password: install
VPI: 0
VCI: 38
Multiplexing: VC-BASED


Have you tried these settings?

[Dangeruss]

I've just given the install@o2 another try, and noticed that when I've entered the details and click submit the password changes from the 7 letter install to a mysterious 8 letter one. Tried removing the ATM wan connection and creating a fresh one, only to find it happening again. I'll try a factory reset and let you know how I get on.

You should not have to enter any authentication details if the modem is in bridge mode, the router handles the connection.

I have tried that route already Ian, but after reinstalling every firmware I have and still being plagued by that mysterious password, I may find myself down that road shortly. Is it possible that someone may have hard coded a password into the modem??

Screenshot the screens your putting the info in as well as the resulting status screens, if poss

[Dangeruss]

Ok will do boost. Thought I'd try a copy and paste of the password that keeps popping up instead of mine into notepad. It shows up as 192.168.0.2. Might have something to do with my probs maybe?

PPPoA settings

and 1 for luck

You have NAT ticked. I thought you wanted to bridge the modem to a router?
