Sky Fibre Broadband (FTTP) with Ubiquity USG (i.e. 3rd party router)
18 Jul 2022 09:49 PM
I've had Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) for a few years now, and have previously been with other broadband suppliers (e.g. IDNet and BT) and have always used Ubiquity equipment rather than the ISP supplied hardware. I was pleased to be told by the customer services rep. when I signed up for Sky Ultrafast Broadband (and also Sky TV which I'm very excited about 😀 ) that Sky support 3rd party routers and don't mandate you use the Sky supplied router.
My switch over from BT is tomorrow, and I'm looking to understand how to configure my equpment with Sky Fibre broadband.
My setup involves
- The BT Openreach FTP box connected via an ethernet cable to
- A Ubiquity UniFi Security Gateway (UniFi USG) which connects to my switch an Ubiquity devices (e.g. WiFi Access Points)
For the other FTTP providers the setup involved setting a PPoE username and password relating to the provider in the router interface. For example, for BT this was a username bthomehub 'At' btbroadband.com and password ** as shown in the image below.
I'm looking to find a guide to setup the Ubiquiti inUSG settings for Sky broadband, but have not found anything on the Sky.com site so hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
