i am on sky fibre for a while and the SR102 unit is very poor with that in mind i have been trying to re use my Asus RT-N66 router.

i simply cannot get my router login information using wireshark, maybe i am doing something wrong?

i open the wireshark and i am connected to SR102 via wireless, start wireshark and then reboot SR102 and let it run for a few minutes, then narrow the search to upd port 67

I had to get an old openreach hg612 iirc with an old firmware to be able to get the username/password from my old sky router on fibre. It has to be an old firmware becuase they patched the hole that is use to get the credentials.

I don't have the SR102 can't help with that, when I last looked it wasn't possible to get the un/pw from it.

Packet sniffing via wireless is an absolute minefield.

Try it over a cabled connection first.

This Youtube Video seems to indicate it is possible to do on an SR102.

Pretty sure you need to sort by UDP 67 and 68 aswell.

As above, don't do it over wifi, use a direct connection.

i am doing up my home and each room i am running Cat6 data points from under the stairs where all my telephone, internet modem ect ect are all located. with the Asus router it has only 4 lan ports can anyone recommend a nice simple Lan switch that would work along with my current hardware?

thank you all for your kind help it was much appreciated

any branded 5 or 8 port "gigabit switch" will be fine to be fair, you'll be spending around £10-20 ... TPLink, Netgear, D-Link etc etc

I can't link it direct as it's a competitor website, but a company who's name sounds likes crabs has a D-Link 8 Port Gigabit Switch at stupid money at the moment, the quicklinx code is 2VZWWS00, it should come up as £9.69 - it was around £20
