Firmware Version
5.23.1a4N

Going to fibre gives you a firmware update?

Most likely. I have the same version.

Or is my firmware just old?

Sky rolls it out. If it's available.

Different firmware as the fibre Openreach modem connects to one of the ethernet ports.

Mine's the white Sky netgear DG834GT, the first router given out by sky

Latest Sky firmware version for it is V1.04.13 --- that version comes with WPA2 wireless support and MER added, and has broken address reservation.

I've fixed mine so it won't upgrade from V1.03.87, because I need address reservation.

The more people who pester Sky about the DHCP reservation bug the better. If Sky disable PPPoA the router will become useless.

Thats a strange one. I was on MER for a while, or rather since the day I signed up. Then for some reason with the N router, one day I noticed it rescyned as PPPoA.

Same here, I've been moved from MER to PPPoA. Seems they can't make their minds up which one to use!

Same here. My router is the D-Link DSL-2640S and always used MER. A few months ago I had a re-sync and it changed to PPPoA and has stayed that way ever since.
