Netgear d7000 setup NOW TV Broadband

[Fregrin]

hello,

Am having move broadband again and chosen Now Broadband becuase its cheap..not going into detail broadband at my mew address been disaster.

Anyway i have a D7000v2 and sending me

NOW TV Hub Two. Do I need use wireshark and extract username and password from the

NOW TV Hub Two?

Is this easy to do and same procedure as old sr102?

The Hub has arrived says its a NR801? can someone please confirm if still need wireshark these days?

The NR801 is actually a Sky Q ER115 rebranded for NOWTV.

If the connection to NowTV is the same as Sky you do not need wireshark to obtain the password, anything in the correct formation will get yu connected. Such as shown in this post Simple tool for extracting the username and password from YOUR router.

Not sure, but it is possible NowTV connects to the same network as Sky. If you have been on Sky Fibre try connecting your router you have been using and see if it works. You never know you might have to do nothing. There are others on the forum who are with NowTV who may be able to advise you better.

Thanks.. I was with sky fibre but when I a home move and had no choice but to leave sky fibre at new premises as couldnt have satelittle dish installed at minute.. So i lost deals etc.

I then went to BT but had no end of issues and BT been unable to even meet minimum speed requirements and even with heavily discounted package its more than NowTV fibre. Anyway reason I choose Now Broadband was price and I hope Now TV are on same network as Sky so I can get my old speed back and pay less.

So hopefully as you say i can just set my router back to sky settings and it will work, on plus note the simple tool from here worked when wireshark didnt so I have username and password extracted now. This hopefully means all bases are covered for the switch on Friday. Worse happens i end up two router network i guess.

I think that makes sense any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Can confirm that yes it does.

When my switch from Sky Fibre to NOW TV Fibre happened, I was using a Sky SR102. Completely seamless, fairly sure that even the IP address stayed the same (there was absolutely no outage or downtime). Didn't get around to swapping it for the NR801 until a few days later.

Well that was seemless for change , I just ran the wizard on D7000 told it use sky and enter option 61 (username,password thingy) and I was connected. Stats are crap but my lines crap.
