what router do you get with sky bb?

[seb]

checked their website but doesn't tell me.

anyone got one?

 

[Griff]

Netgear DG834GT (Sky branded and Sky's firmware)

 

[seb]

can you use your own router with it instead?

ie, the one i bought! lol

 

[Adam]

yep, should be ok. does it have the modem buit in or is it just a switch

 

[seb]

i don't know, haven't opend the box yet tbh.

Some say you can, some say you can't.

My interpretation is that it is possible to use other routers but A, It's not straight forward and B, It's part of Sky's T&C's that you use the supplied router.

[Adam]

yeah it has got the modem buit in so it should work, if you have problems just ring netgear tech support and they should go through it ith you, i wouldnt contact sky as they may not like it lol

That's perfectly possible with the DG834GT. I used to have one and from memory it has 4 Ethernet ports on the back and obviously wireless.

I set up my cousins Sky router/Netgear to his PC and XB360 without any problems.

cool ta.

No problems here with a Netgear DG834G

They are very good Routers especially for free

 

[Tiger]

im gonna buy this router due to the fact i know it works with the xbox 360 wireless adapter for sure

i use a netgear dg834gt bought it over a year ago, has worked perfect over that time without any major probs, most coming from aol, now with pipex and is fine, have another comp, laptop and 360 hooked up via wireless and it all runs fine.
