Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreSounds like it could be one of the following;
- Your cable isnt fully gigabit compliant so the Sky hub doesnt like it
- Your PC/Laptop wont negotiate at the same speed your Sky hub wants to negotiate at
- Your PC/Laptop isnt set to use DHCP on the ethernet interface and the IP it is set to isnt in the correct range for the Sky hub.
The first troubleshooting step would be to log into the routers admin interface and change the ethernet mode to 'Fast'

Hi there.
Thanks for replying.
I have switched it to fast but the issue is still there. The status of the network has changed to Network 2 but days no Internet access on It.
Any other suggestions as I'm quickly losing hope abd about to give up and leave it with just WiFi.
Thanks
