Third Party Router

naalssh — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 18:57:01 GMT

Hi all

I am in Ireland and have been using sky FTTP for a few years now. I have always used my own Asus router using anything@skydsl for the option 61 setting. I have never had any issues with this but today it just stopped working. I rebooted the Asus and the ONT several times but it would come back for a couple of minutes then go again. I plugged in the sr203 and it works perfect. If I plug the Asus back in it goes again. I havent changed any settings so wonder if Sky has changed something??

@naalssh

What model is the Asus router?
Which Sky hub do you have that works?

I have an Asus RT-AX82u and a SR203 hub. I haven't changed anything on the Asus so either Sky changed something or the Asus got a firmware update over night that broke it

Could you post the wan settings screen and the lan->iptv vlan id vid screen

@naalssh

Would also be useful if you could check to see if its done a firmware update. If theres no logs on it, you could check the asus website to see if there was any versions released recently.

Came home from work yesterday to find the broadband down. A reboot of the sky hub and it came back. Seems like there might be a problem with the line and not the Asus after all

@naalssh I have the exact same issue. Got home yesterday with the wifi down, rebooted the ONT and router numerous times, nothing working.

I'm using an Asus RT-AX88U with the option 61 setting.

If I put the original Sky Router back in place, it works.
