sharpz44 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi, Just wondering if anyone has set up there XR500 with a Draytek vigor 130 and Sky broadband, currently use BT with this set up but wanted to know if it is straight forward with SKY`s 61 set up, due to BT prices going up again was considering a move. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Not really as Sky don't give username and password out, there are guides on the net about how to extract the username and password for ADSL For VDSL Id follow these guides. You will probably need to use Wireshark http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/extracting-sky-router-passwords/61682-help-getting-sr102-password-mac.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will read that info though. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpz44 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Well got my answer .... this is a modem that does not perform authentication, the router connected to it needs to support DHCP Option 60 & 61. The modem must be configured in MPoA Bridge mode. Now I know the XR500 does not support option 60 and 61 unlike Asus,well from when I owned R7800..... Correct me if I am wrong please.
