Hi Guys and Gals, I have been trying via PM to craigj to get my router (WRT610N) working with DD-WRT on my Sky Fibre broadband. Craig even posted it on another site asking for help but to no avail.

I'm now out of my depth and asking for help in getting it working (if it's possible)

Below are the steps I took in order to try and get it working

1) You want to find your username and password, you do this by visiting this website
http://www.ph-mb.com/products/sky-calc
Select the Sagem F@ST router
Then input the info from your sagemcom router (its LAN MAC address and default wireless password)

Keep this page open while you go to step 2...


2) Find which interface DDWRT has assigned to your routers WAN port, this can be found on the networking page (under Setup -> Networking)

The information you are looking for is "WAN Port Assignment", this is under the section "Port Setup" - you want to take note of which interface is in the drop down box (my case it is "vlan2")


3) Go to DDWRT's commands page (Under administration -> commands) then copy the following code, replacing necessary parts:

Code:
killall udhcpc

/usr/sbin/udhcpc -i vlan2 -V "6.14.1aN_UNI|PCBAFAST2504Nv1.0" -c "UUUUUUUUUU@skydsl|PPPPPPPPPPPPPP" -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc &
vlan2 - change this to match the information found in step 2

UUUUUUUUUU@skydsl - change this to match the PPP Username found in step 1

PPPPPPPPPPPPPP - change this to match the PPP Password found in step 1


4) Click the "Save Startup" button


5) Power cycle both modem and router and all should be working

Ive double no tripple checked Ive done everything correctly but the router just refuses to play ball.

After a while and a reply off qas, it was realised I'd used the wrong DD-WRT build so this one was used

Looking at the DDWRT wiki for the WRT610N, you want an eko 'big' build - this one should do the trick:

ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24_TNG/...ig-wrt610n.bin

But it still won't connect to the internet.

craig then asked me to check something by running

Then if you could run the command "ps" in the command shell (shows what services are currently running)

Below is what was obtained from that (means nothing to me).

Ok I did what you asked and tried to run the code in the command shell, and the router page just hangs and requires a reboot to get it back to a usable condition, I ran the ps in the command shell and have copied and pasted below.

Enjoy

663 root 1448 R ps

Which according to craigj then narrowed it down to the udhpc service causing the router to crash, again it all goes over my head but we just can't get beyond this.

I appreciate this is a long shot but could the more technical peeps amongst us cast their eyes over this and see if they can spot anything.
