davemarsden132 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Hi, I Have read a few posts now but cant find anything I have just switched from BT to SKY and want to get my setup as Modem >> XR700 >> Internet Instead of atm Modem >> Sky Router >> XR700 >> Internet Reason is with current setup I am getting SUCH bad LAG and Packetloss!! I am on version XR700 V1.0.0.20 I use this version as its the only one that works for my WIFI I have upgraded to XR700 V1.0.1.38 to test it and still no option I read that you set up the Does your setup req password to NO but then I cant see an option for 61 - Username and Password? I have the Username and Password from sky already just need to find where you input it?! I see the Client Identifier String (Option 61): but this just has a blank box and no option for a username or password! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Do you need to put in PPPOE details? You would have to set your connection to PPPoE. what issue are you having with it’s WiFi? I find it generally works as it should, speed and coverage similar to XR500. I have the AD 60Ghz WiFi turned off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I see what you mean now. the identifier string, is that not just username|password ? Ie filled out in that format how it comes out of the wireshark capture,if you have captured it yourself. If you took it from wireshark you have to omit the first = from the identifier string.

davemarsden132 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Just tried to follow that guide - Wireshark installed but the bit where it says to filter by udp.port==67 didnt give me any results.. Why is all this shit so hard !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2021 You're doing something they don't want you to do really, bypass their router, that's why it is more difficult to achieve. Repeat the process just to double check you didn't miss anything, I've never had Sky so it's not something I can particularly advise on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
