Removing Sky router, connecting directly to ONT

on_the_roots

I'm about to switch from VF to Sky (never a customer of them before) and I have a Siro FTTH box.

Have people been able to remove the Sky's router completely, replacing with your own one talking PPPoE? What about the credentials for authentication, too much trouble to get them from Sky?

You can use any router instead of the Sky supplied one as long it supports VLAN 10.

Login details:

Username is anything@skydsl

Password is anything

its pretty easy to set up:

once its set up it will "just work", and anything is better then skys hardware, its very limited.

Can you get the telephone to work without the Sky router?

Nope as they don't give out any of the crednetials for it

will this work for a nest WiFi pro as well ie just add in the username and password?

Only if it supports VLAN tagging and PPOE. I don't think it supports VLAN tagging, have a look in the menu and see if you can find it.

Nope, I have the same setup.

Nest Pro doesn't support VLAN 10 tagging so needs a managed switch for it to work.

I have posts on here on cheap TP-Link switch & how to configure it.
