I am about to take delivery of a NETGEAR RAX200 Nighthawk to replace the SKY SR230 router. Could anyone please help me configure the new router from scratch to replace sky’s one or point me to where the instructions exist on this site please? Thanks in advance.

@davepark Sky do not support 3rd party routers you maybe lucky to find a post from another customer who has used the same or similar model if you search this board but the Sky do clear older posts out which has lost the one I knew about.

However in principle you need to configure your new hub to use DHCPv4 Option61 with the string anything@skydsl|anything which works with all lines the string is to fields tgecbit before the | is the user the but after is the password.

@davepark

Thats the firmware version. It may come with that version or you may need to update the netgear
