justin Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Advice if you may. I need to connect a DVR onto a Sky netgear ADSL router. I would first like to know whether this DG834 ( i think ) router will be any different than the normal netgear ones I am used to. Secondly, I not expecting any issues conneting internally but I woulkd like remote connection, will this router as normal netgears allow me to do portforwarding etc.? I am aware the sky broadband connection won't be static IP, how often do sky connection IP's generally change? I would really need the DVR to be networked wirelessly. Has anyone used a netgear wireless bridge for a DVR before? I have seen the netgear's wireless 'gamming' adapter model WGE111 is this the sort of thing I should be looking at. Thanks in advance.

The Sky branded netgear is essentially the same, but has a fixed username and password, the password being different per customer, and believe this cannot be changed. There is just then some branding in place. You can completely re-flash the firmware with the standard netgear firmware available from the netgear site. Simply resetting the unit is not enough. I beleive you can do all you want leaving it as a Sky branded router anyway.

BASS Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I just flashed my sky router with netgear's own. Couldn't stand not having full access. It's not a bad little router Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/26594-sky-netgear-router/#findComment-222889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bad little router What do you mean by 'full access' what would it not let you do?
