I think you might be disappointed with the sr1010hub.

If you have a decent router put it in the sr101's DMZ until someone cracks extracting the sr101's username/password.

It's what I am doing and it works a treat.

There's a walkthrough on skyuser.

200mb homeplugs you should get the full 80mb

Someone has managed to sniff the username and password from the SR101 using wireshark, ill post the PDF here in a min

What's "buffering"? Or "lag"? I am not familiar with these phenomena.

Thx, I am aware and actually have this information,

Unfortunately the proposer of this does not have access to a SR-101 and so cannot test it. It would appear, to date, no one else has tested it and so it remains a theory.

Due to disability and the lay-out of my kit it would be quite a physical effort for me to test it.

As piggy-backing in the SR-101's DMZ is managing to do all I need I would prefer for someone else to test and if successful write a step by step guide.

craigj2k12 · 13-11-2012, 18:27

In the thread I got that PDF from, there was one guy who tested it and confirmed it worked

qasdfdsaq · 13-11-2012, 19:05

I thought someone on this forum had already got it to work?

craigj2k12 · 13-11-2012, 19:42

Nope

qasdfdsaq · 13-11-2012, 20:13

Damn, they used a DMZ.
