Re: D-Link - what they like?
That's what my D-Link box has on it. As long as it isnt V2.04 then you will be able to use the username and password extraction program mention on this post, but do it ASAP before the firmware gets updated to V2.04, after this, it isnt possible to extract the username and password (well not possible for now
)
Just remember when you run fuzzy logic's program that you will need to disable your firewall for the program to do its work, if my memory serves me correct.

Re: D-Link - what they like?
Thanks info.
Yes... my intention is to use the utility a.s.a.p when I'm activated as if at all possible, I want to use my own modem router.
One of the reasons I upgraded (in the last few months) to the Netgear DGN3500 was that it offered 'N' wireless and has giga LAN ports. I dont know what the wireless is like on the D-Link but if it's anything like my previous experience of 'g' rated wi-fi, then it aint going to cut the mustard and reach all my devices around the house ; - )
I've tried to find some information about the D-Link but so far, not had much luck. I cant even see it on D-Link's own site but just guessing that because it's a specific badged (Sky) bit of kit, they wouldn't show it amongst their other kit?
It would be interesting to know what the updated firmware offers over v1.11 that our box comes loaded with?
Thanks

Re: D-Link - what they like?
: - ) ... just spotted a thread that appears to be talking about the update for the D-Link ..... just about to read through it. It's quite a long thread so I'm hoping/guessing it has lots of info about the new firmware : - )

Re: D-Link - what they like?
Just gone through that thread and really interesting, but like always, it now raises lots more questions : - ) (aint forums great? )
I'm not sure what 'Network Type "MER" ' is but if I'm reading things right, then as long as you can spoof the MAC on your modem, then there would not really be a need to know your username/password?
Just checked my Netgear DGN3500 and there is in fact 3 options with regards the MAC ...
1 Use default address
2 Use computer MAC address
3 Use 'This' MAC address
So, my guess is that option 3 would allow me to add the Sky MAC and hopefully not have to worry about grabbing the username/password?
Right... I'm just off to Google/SamKnows etc about Network Type 'MER' : - )

Re: D-Link - what they like?
Yes, sure will
As long as using my own modem/router doesn't cause any problems during the initial training period, I'd like to be able to use it right from the off, right from when I'm activated (date I've been given is 18 April).
From all the information I've received from Sky (my original order was cancelled and thats why I've got to wait until 18 April), my existing Sky telephone line, which has previously been attached to BT's system will be moved at the same time as my Sky Broadband goes active so I'm assuming that my connection will be via 'Network Type MER' ? .... and if so, hopefully spoofing the MAC in my own router will hopefully let me connect to Sky's Broadband network.
I'll of course report back any findings as and when I get activated.
Thanks to all for the great info/help

Re: D-Link - what they like?
We always advise using the Sky router, at least until DLM training has completed. That way you are unlikely to have problems if you have to call support.

Re: D-Link - what they like?
Yes... thats the sort of thing I'm concerned about... i.e if anything goes wrong during the initial activation and training.
Given that my Netgear at the moment has few settings that relate to connection to my existing ISP (O2), and it *should* be easy enought to configure, then I guess what I could try would be just to add the Sky MAC on day one and see what happens.
My main concerns with using the D-Link is if the 'g' rated wi-fi is going to be up to the job. Also, as I run a NAS and have seen the difference that using giga LAN can make (my old modem/router was standard 10/100), again it's going to mean a dip in overall performance using Sky's supplied kit.
I think I'll have a go spoofing the MAC ... if things go wrong, I can always hook up Sky's D-Link and hopefully pull things back
