To force a non hexadecimal string through you would need to use
'anything@skydsl|anything' or
"anything@skydsl|anything"
The question is whether the router is compatible with client identifier (dhcp option 61)

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@FinnieFinFin when talking to the maker check that your unit is configured and certified for UK use as wifi regs are significantly different here from say the US..

GLiNET have said each unit is shelved for EU, US and Asia
This being said, they didn't cover if the firmware was changed for these regions
I have seen documents show you how to change this manually but hopefully the company already thought of this when they shelved the units

....yeah....
Fedup of repeating myself again and again and no doubt you experts are as well
But I still cant get my 3rd party router to connect to sky's authentication?
GLiNet Marble B3000 home router supports all ISP settings but does not support a MER feature.
That said, people dont need this MER and have used the authentication username pass and vlan to setup their own routers!
Sky's username is
Username: anything@skydsl|skydsl
Pass: anything
Vlan: 10
Right?? correct??? or am i wrong...again....
Below are some other options to gain access to sky but im not this tech savy and i'll end up messing everything up...
WHY CANT SKY DO THINGS NORMAL!!!.Kszb rfIGYVUYYJSADB,MFN VBGKT KJ
So going to leave sky if i cant get anywhere in the next week. Fedup with the sht time and time again...

@Chrisee @cookiemonsteruk @TimmyBGood @mae-3
@mae-3in a thread you posted to @Huntforserenity you stated this "The Linksys WRT3200ACM can take open-source firmware that does support DHCP Option 61, two open-source projects to look at are OpenWRT and DD-WRT for Linksys and other routers."
The GLiNet router B3000 i have also supports openwrt and its built inside. There are other vpn services they offer build inside and a few clicks and your good to go. Or you can manually enter in your own VPN of choice
But I need a live connection before I can do any of these and im struggelling to understand why the heck i cant get any connection???
Here is a tech report https://tech.scargill.net/the-very-new-gl-inet-marble-gl-b3000-wifi6-router/
One of the best posts ive seen was from an amazon person who bought the router: https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL-B3000-Wall-Mountable-Dual-Band-WireGuard/dp/B0D7PTFZZM#customerRev...
Lonnie M.
But, I dont understand anything he's going on about.
help help help me get connected!!!

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@FinnieFinFin as we have explained before you do not need a hex string if your router supports DHCPv4 Option61 it is a simple text string that has been given to you repeatedly. The issue is your hub does not have support for that authentication method out of the box it would need flashing with an open source DD-WRT firmware which offers that support.

hi @Chrisee
Thank you for getting back to me,
I dont know how to flash or do any fancy tech stuff. I spoke to GLiNet and they said all you need is the Hex client ID to add in the DHCP Client ID. Then youll be able to get a connection. Below is the image i posted but if you didnt see it before hopefully it works now

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@FinnieFinFin sorry what you are being told is incorrect according to what Sky have told us so I cannot help you further.

Okay, fair enough
General question then. Not related to sky router of any internal firmware, just a question based on tools per se
Based on your experience and im confident you know where im going with this question. Are you able to find a good online hex tool that generates DHCP Client ID's?
I understand sky can be very subjective but this is a genral enquiry not relating to the sky router, a simple question.
If sky have a problem with free speech they can call up the prime minister
