DISCLAIMER
This is mainly intended for people who have left Sky and who want to use their Sky router with their new ISP, however to my knowledge it will work fine even if you stay with Sky - I'm using it with AOL
This information is available in the interests of our members. Please do not upgrade your FW unless you fully understand the risks that it could go wrong and render your router useless. Please remember also, that it is against the Terms and Conditions of Sky Broadband. You also run a risk of having your Broadband Connection suspended as well as receiving no Technical Support.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO THOSE OF YOU RUNNING THE NETGEAR D834GT V1 (THE WHITE ROUTER) - FOR THOSE OF YOU USING THE NETGEAR V2 ROUTER WHO WANT YOUR USERNAME/PASSWORD PLEASE SEE THIS LINK HERE (THE BLACK ROUTER)
Netgear standard firmware version V1.02.14 (latest 27/02/08), modified so that it can be installed on a Sky DG834GT router. This will be useful for people who want to "unlock" their router for use with any ISP, but who can't get the Netgear Recovery Utility to work (very common):

Why do this? For a number of reasons really:-

Why do this? For a number of reasons really:-
- Sky haven't released a firmware update for the V1 router yet, whereas Netgear have and continue to support it so there many bugs have been fixed
- Sky lock down their Routers so it's not possible to use them with a different ISP, this basically turns your Sky Router back into a Netgear Router letting you use any ISP
- Additional features - Sky block many useful features such as using Custom DNS Servers, using the Router as a Repeater & WDS etc.
- Username and Password is shown under ADSL Settings, however I would suggest using a Utility like Mognuts from here (also lets you force noise margin etc) or download a fantastic D834GT monitor utility from here - more info on that available from here.
