Install went like clockwork. The BTO chap was on time, 10 minutes to install the filter on the master socket, 15 minutes to sort the Cab, 10 minutes to connect up and run a test.
And he was on his way.
However all is not good. I wanted to use my own router and had researched how to hack my rt n-16 running tomato to let it connect to the Sky system. For this I needed my sky router username/password which they obfuscate. Relatively easy to obtain from the Sagem router which I expected to receive however they have sent me their very latest
Hub.
for which I have no idea how to obtain my username/password. So I am stuck with it for the moment.
No specs for the Hub although I believe it to be a 300 N device with 100meg ports
It is a dual DSL/Sky fibre device. There is a dedicated DSL connector but the sky fibre is connect direct to the switch only leaving 3 ports for other wired devices. Providing the device proves to serviceable the easiest thing is to connect a gigabit switch to it.
I'm going to use it as is for a bit and see how it performs.
