Default Sky Netgear Router

The most important thing to do is check if it is v1,2 or 3. It
should say either underneath or within the set up page. Once you
download the correct file it will update - just don't do it via the
wireless connection. Do it via the supplied lead or it buggers it
up. I have the same router and it is a V3 on the latest firmware.
I
find running Bit Torrent tend to crash it quite often.


Which is a good reason to trade up & get something like a Draytek
2600, steady as a rock & that's after finding that the Netgear 834g,
the 3Com Office connect, the D-Link 604T & a Linksys which I got rid
of the same day so I can't tell you the model, all fell over in
their
own way whilst running continual P2P sessions. Hell I even procured
a
Cisco router to give that a go as well, I got that fed up with the
problem.

Go for the Draytek, it's cheaper than the Cisco, would be my advice


OOppss looking at the header of the thread I appologise as you can't
go to Dratek as you are stuck with the Netgear/SKY box. On that note
I have heard that they won't accept the normal firmware upgrades so
the OP may be stuck with it.

Another reason to hang back & see how this saga turns out..
