In reply to a post by AbandonShip:

There's a poster here that says it does work.

If you haven't changed your sky router's default WPA network key yet, I'd suggest using copy and paste to copy the wpa key and the LAN port MAC address from the sky router's web interface to the skypass generator, and to copy the results to your non-sky router, so you can at least be sure that if it doesn't work, its not caused by a typo, or mistaking a 1 for an I or something like that.

Thanks, I can confirm it works for me as well

Got my phone switched over this morning and just got an email my broadband order as started and ill get my router in the next 5 days so well see what there sending out this month fingers crossed for a full N lol.

I emailed sky the other day requesting a new router and asking for N, the girl was more than helpful and said she had dispatched one now that should be a new N router. Fingers crossed.

Oo looking promising then I hope it is for both of us lol and hope it's the full n and not the other one they were sending

They are having problems supplying routers I'm not sure mine will arrive before my broadband activation date.
http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Ordering-Setup/bd-p/SkyB...

Hope they sort it out for next week. Mines due for activation on Tuesday, with all the long weekends coming up I'd like my broadband up and running.

2 things with sky that seem pretty much pointless to me, after being connected to the Easynet network myself for several years,
1 why they use/run DLM on their LLU connections
2,Why they are insistent on customers using the sky supplied router and refuse to give the customer the credentials needed to authenticate a ppoa session

Apart from the fact the support isn't too good and the size of the customer base i cannot see any other reason for the 2 above policies that sky have and are 2 reasons of many for me not to go sky,

if it were me with no supplied router and a active sky dsl connection, i would get another router generate some credentials from the site mentioned earlier and if successful use that and say diddly squat to sky about it, and then if the sky router they send is a pile of junk,either continue using the same router of go out and buy a better one

I have a sky router router here that i used as a back up so will plugging that in to see if it works if nothing arrives by Monday.Ive been on their forum and an assistant checked the order for me to get it moving along.Im just off the phone to Sky as well who said the router is waiting to be picked up by RM.We shall see if it arrives or not.

Doesnt look i will be recieving a router anytime soon.They either have a shortage of routers or are way behind on connecting up the cables at the exchange.So far ive been told i will recieve it within 3-5 days days then on the phone to them it will be sent today for next day delivery.Then again on their forum there is a backlog and it will arrive between 5-7 days !!!

i just rung sky up to ask about something and they told me even though id actually ordered broadband over a month ago because my phone was only activated Monday my broadband order was only classed as ordered Monday and ive ended up getting the 3 months free offer i was very happy about that lol they dident say anything about delayed routers though i hope one shows up my cable broadband goes off the day after my skys meant to be activated
