How to Debrand Sky DG834GT router

Firstly Follow these steps

http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/skyDG834GT_flash.htm

once the router has been flashed to a generic Netgear firmware the fun begins

we then download a custom firmware from either ubergt or dgteam, after extensive testing i found dgteam firmware to be the best in terms of sync speeds concerning Bethere/O2 Connections

we source the firmware image direct from the DGteam site

http://dgteam.ilbello.com/index.php?pid=5

rev 0848 firmware offers the best sync speeds compared to others though the latest images offer same sync speeds there has been reported issues with dynamic ip allocation, works fine on static ip addresses though :)

to flash dgteam firmware log into your router and click on router upgrade, make sure you either flash via ethernet cable or homeplugs, no wireless connections !

once flashed it is advisable to reset the router using reset button on the back

the standard settings for Bethere/O2 LLU is

ADSL Settings
IPOA - no username or password
Multiplexing Method : LLC Based
VPI : 0
VCI : 101
Basic Settings
No user or password required
Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login : No
IP Address : Get Dynamically (unless using static)
DNS Address : Get Automatically From ISP (unless using OpenDNS Servers or the like)
Use this MAC address : BeBox's MAC address (if having trouble connecting)

to check on your connection stats / adjust SNRm go to

if your Dg834 is working already on your adsl2+ connection then i would advise to use the backup / restore option within the router web GUI to keep a copy of your connection / network / wireless settings before you flash to custom firmware !. once flashed you can then use the restore option
