Re: How to obtain your username and password from the sky router

Let's just say I may be less trusting than others. I did read the T&Cs, and nowhere does it say that the software will dial home without my express consent. And I dispute that this is necessarily implicit in what they have written. We are all used to the concept of "automatic updates" on Windows - but that still requires you to switch it on (or at least it allows you to switch it off). So by agreeing to subscribe, I am agreeing to all and any backdoors? And I am agreeing to anything that they may choose to send to the router in my house, which is connected to my PC or any number of other PCs in my house? I doubt it. Just as well that my RouterTech.Org firmware is secure. Anyway, perhaps paranoia will one day give in to enlightened gratitude.

Re: How to obtain your username and password from the sky router

I can see your point, however it does not matter if you switch the router off at predefined times. As when it syncs with the exchange is the time it will check.

We just have differing view points that's all

No worries mate! My RouterTech.Org firmware will not let them in.

Re: How to obtain your username and password from the sky router

When my sky router arrives, can I just take it out of the box, connect to my pc and then extract the username/passowrd, or must I actually connect it to the phone line as well?

I have seen one post somewhere that claims you must actually use the sky router for it to generate a username/password.

All advice gratefully received as I am hoping that the router arrives today, being that I am being activated today (migrating).

Re: How to obtain your username and password from the sky router

you might as well try the router first as the VAST majority of Sky users have no issues with it whatsoever - its just those militent few who insist on using their own that do so......also, the fact Sky know if ur using ur own and thus will refuse you future tech support should you need it and that it's against T&C's of service isn't really worth it....

and the username/password are written into the firmware - nothing is needed to be generated

Re: How to obtain your username and password from the sky router

Hmmm ... I fail to see the your logic. The VAST majority of people don't get robbed - and those who do, is it their fault?

If, for example, only 5% of users have problems, how many people does that amount to? Count yourself lucky that you aren't one of them.

Re: How to obtain your username and password from the sky router

Hi,

I've just signed up as I have sky broadband now. I want to access the username and password info and tried the links suggested but it does not work.

I think I know why....its because they have a new model they are suppling. Its the DG934G. the interface is different.

does anyone have any information on how to access the details on this particular router?

Thanks in advance.

Chet

Re: How to obtain your username and password from the sky router

Sky don't want you to know the username and password for your ADSL connection. With the V1 router a URL injection workaround was developed by Jose to gain access to the hidden details. No such workaround has been developed for the new V2 router - yet.

Re: How to obtain your username and password from the sky router

just out of interest ChetR, is there a problem with the router or are you just after the details as a back up if things go wrong ?
