The connection has been setup and was stable for 4 weeks on the new Sky Hub, double NATing with other equipment I have. I have an Edgerouter X, and I set up the WAN port to receive DHCP, with IPv6 prefix delegation enabled. As per the above post, I can confirm a simple swap of the Sky Hub with the Edgerouter instead to the ONT leads to (very rapid!) connection back to the internet.  I have then connected my main network switch and bridged wifi access points into the Edgerouter and all is good. I can confirm Sky Q works fine as well, while the Sky Hub is decommissioned and back in its box as a backup.  It does look like the DHCP is served over IPv6 (IPoE) and IPv4 runs on the back of 6. So to summarise, simple connection of the router to the ONT and all is good. No need for PPPoE or MER (option 61) credentials or even wire shark sniffing the Sky Hub etc. hope this helps reassure some of you? Mon, 04 Jan 2021 23:17:39 GMT IanW73 2021-01-04T23:17:39Z
