Sky Business with ASUS RT-BE58U

Finlay — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 13:12:00 GMT

Firstly I'm aware that there's limited knowledge of business but a small handful of people seem to have had success so thought I'd try anyway. I have a faulty Technicolor router that was installed with FTTP Sky Business that should be getting replaced but in the mean time I was hoping to use an Asus RT-BE58U to restore connectivity.

I've tried PPPoE with the anything@skydsl|anything credentials that were listed in this post and also running with the widely documented DHCP 61 setup with the same credentials but neither seem to work.

It's probably a shot in the dark but thought I'd check anyway in case anyone spots anything obvious. Here's some screenshots showing both configurations:

PPPoE error:

@Finlay Get off the PPPoE! See if the settings from my link help you!

Thanks for the link. Tried it with IPV6 enabled + Automatic IP and no DHCP 61 settings but no luck thus far.

@Finlay & @JimM1 Sky Business definiitly do not use the same authentication systems as the domestic service. As the post you link to by @cookiemonsteruk states they use PPOE but I am not sure you need a log in string as indicated by the last post in the thread. However the VLAN id of 101 seems mandatory.. slightly puzzled by the PPP Echo entry on your screens try removing thst to see if that works.
