As the titel really. I've bought a BT Openreach modem and Asus router and expected them to work together (noob alert!). Had anyone had experience of setting up a different router to work with sky non fibre broadband?

I'm a bit stuck!

Thank you for any and all suggestions :)

What work around?

If you're just wanting better wireless you can use the N66U as a wireless access point. Leave the SR102 connected with its wireless disabled. Connect the N66U to the SR102 and select AP mode and you'll be good to go.

The speed of our Internet has taken a hit since using sky, so was hoping to use it as the main router. It's a work around which let's you get the user and password for sky and using custom firmware to allow it.

If you purchased the HG612 it's ADSL/ADSL2/VDSL, update the firmware to the generic (non BT) version and it'll do what you need, if you purchased an ECI (which it looks like you did) then you're stuck with fiber only.

Gah, thanks for the help. How much do the hg612 go for normally?

So doing what you mentioned above would allow me to use the Asus as the only router?
