How does Sky broadband authenticate?

Hi.
Ive just reconfigured the security and SSID on someone elses SkyRouter to be something a little more secure, but i cant see anywhere on the settings screen to put in the ADSL login information?

Does the sky router use some sort of generic settings, and then the software puts proxy settings onto your computer?

Seems very odd, as i want to configure it so its not dependant on any dodgy sky software.

Thanks.

Each Sky Router is configured individually for the customer
The login details are hidden from view.

Give this tool a try to retreive them

And this guide to flash to a non sky firmware.

ah.
So now that the Wireless has been configured on the box by myself, it'll just connect to the net without anything else having to be done?
