Netgear DG834GT on SkyBB

Danger Phoenix · 9 Dec 2006 at 13:10

We moved over to SkyBB from PlusNet and they gave us a Netgear DG834GT to use with it - they stated that we could only use that router.

In the router control panel, the account details page is hidden and the link is not there at all on the left hand side of the page. Is there any chance someone who has the generic version of this router, can give me the direct link to that particular frame - I am hoping that it has not been removed completely and is just hidden.

The 'basic settings' page is http://192.168.0.1/basic.htm&todo=cfg_init

Nah, that didn't work, but I found a method of getting the username and password by searching on Google - it involved using various links, so I was close

can you not put that router back to normal by just flashing it with the origonal firmware off the netgear website?

I could... but Im not sure if that would stop the router connecting to the service or not :confused:

Possible - but highly unlikely.
There is a good reason for a company supplying a custom version of the firmware as it means that customers are unlikely to have played with settings they shouldn't have and it makes support a lot easier.

It is possible for Sky's system to be firmware version checking on connection but that sounds like an awful lot of work just to amke sure you can connect with their firmware and only their firmware.

dont worry about it m8, as long as you have the username and password from your router you can use what ever router you want.

we can tell if your using ours but tbh we dont care it was just to stop noobs phoning up and moaning that there router didnt work with our service

Is there a default username and password if so what is the username and password for this Router, so I can access it.
