Routers For Sky FTTC *DELETED*

Post deleted by MrSaffron

Sky is "special" when it comes to router authentication on FTTC, most routers do not send the requisite DHCP option. So be careful.

That is my set-up, works perfectly on SKY FTTC......

7800N Supports sky fibre

look on billion forums for sky firmware

Perfect, slightly better than my 'spare' Billion 7800 DXL....... Go for the Extreme you won't be disappointed (Looks nice too).

How do you connect the airport to the modem, given the odd username and password that Sky use?

Not as complicated as it reads.......

... and the Billion 7800DX and DXL models, the 8200N, also a couple of the new Draytek's do as well and not forgetting anything that can run DD-WRT and pfSense.

very true

From a purely personal pov, and as an Apple user, I wouldn't recommend the Airport Extreme. It's good at what it does but, for what you get, imo it's over-priced.

Mainly- only 3 LAN ports, very limited (essentially zero) "tweakability" and, as far as I can find out, it still doesn't support native IPv6 (which, I concede, may not be of concern to you).

The Billion that others have mentioned is better value, my preference would be an Asus RT-N66U (I've used both), but I can't be sure if the Asus will handle a Sky login (edit- yes it will, see Batboy's reply).
