Settings to configure alternative router to work with Sky Fibre / DHCP Option 61

[sbetty02]

Ahhh I'm with now, stupid me FTTP will be a different internal connection! Cheers 🙂 Will do it the cheap way, then I have an excuse to plan proeprly and get a little rack which can also mount my unraid server 🙂

Thanks all!

The ONT is just where the fibre terminates inside the house (optical network termination), kind of like the master telephone socket for the copper system. so my UDM Pro is just connected straight into that with a cat 6 cable.

Not sure with the Asus stuff sorry, I'm ok with the UniFi stuff as it was such a pain in the past and took a lot of figuring out.

@stevieb3 what version of controller is this?

Any recommendations for a relatively inexpensive, Sky compatible box to replace the sky box for a modem-only setup for 80Mb? I have a Cisco Meraki MX64 for routing duties.

Thanks in advance!

(Sorry, just realised this thread is for fibre connections. Mine is copper)

The one usually mentioned for FTTC is the DrayTek Vigor 130

Hi, I am trying to get a simlar set up working, however I do not have the DHCP Client Options available. Any ideas?

Hi,

Did you get voip working with this ?

@Raphael 

As in my reply to your post back in January, without a Sky Broadband Hub there is no known way to get Sky Talk using VOIP as the configuration for that is baked into the ATA on the Hub itself.  Using other VOIP services from ethernet / WiFi hardware behind the non-Sky router should be possible.

Thanks for your answer, I don't have voip yet bot fttp looms and don't want to use my landline number, using a ASUS router at the mo.   
did anyone try linking up the hub 4 and turning off its dhcp ?

Loose not use !
