Squizz Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hey guys, I have seen that there is an option 61 setting somewhere in the xr500 router when you change does internet require a login to no, however this option doesn't show in my xr300. What I'm looking to do is remove my sky q hub, replace with an openreach modem and run the xr300 from that. I'm currently running the xr300 through the sky hub, doesn't seem to be any major issues but I'd rather just get rid of it. Will the modem take care of option61/MER or will the router also require this to be an option? Thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted December 11, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2019 Option 61 isn't currently included in the XR300 firmware, but will probably be included in the next one. I've made Netgear aware that this is a feature in demand. Unfortunately the inclusion of this specific feature isn't in Netduma's control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance guys. im on sky atm. i bought the netgear DM200 and installed openwrt on that and used wireshark to put my sky creds in and the xr300 just connects perfectly as you are running your normal sky hub.

FlexJ Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 also my guide is here https://forum.openwrt.org/t/sky-and-dhcp-60-61/39917/13 For me what i did is download wireshark and install. run wireshark and turn off the sky router and boot back up and you should see the sky Credentials with some searching. Write this password down and save it as you need use it to produce HEX Key found here http://string-functions.com/string-hex.aspx 3 once that is done. copy that and save it. on my DM200 with open-wrt installed Log on to the web interface (default ip 192.168.1.1), you may be asked to set a password Navigate to the "network" tab Click on the edit button for the wan connection 2.4) Make sure the protocol is set to DHCP Client (click Save and Apply if any changes are made) Navigate to the "Advanced Options" tab Add the final key you generated into the Client ID field Thats the HEX Key Add 6.14.1aN_UNI|PCBAFAST2504Nv1.0 to the Vendor Class field Click "Save and Apply" On the WAN Page go to physical setting and add this in the interface drop down box "dsl0.101" save and apply and all done i had internet.
