I have a netgear DG834G that is locked to sky. How do I unlock it to use with my new broadband provider? I can get a wirless connection to the lap top but not acess to the internet. I've tried reset, admin/ password, ip address but nothing seems to work.

I purchased a Netgear DG834G Router a little over two years ago when I switched from dial up to broadband. It is the router that came from the broadband provider and following the initial set up which I was talked through by tech support, I have had little trouble with it - at least until a matter of days after the warranty ran out.

You won't need to unlock it just factory reset it.
If you look at the back of the router next to the power cable there is a small hole to factory reset it you will need to poke a pin or paperclip in there and hold it for about 5 seconds then it should reboot and be factory reset.
Then assuming your pc is connected to it via network cable it's default IP address should be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
This will probably be on the sticker underneath the unit. as will the default user name and password. so just type the IP address in a web browser and log in to configure.
The link to the manual is here.

check whether the dhcp option is turned on in ur wireless router. if its turned off, change it to on state and try. u will be able to connect. still if u din get access. use some other lap to connect to ur wireless network. if it is possible to connect with someother lap, then the problem is with ur lap. the wifi drivers might get corrupted. re-install it to fix the problems. if all above doesn't gets work, then the problem is with ur wireless router.

Thats an ADSL modem/router, so would be used via the telephone line In fact this is the standard router often supplied by SKY DG834GT
theres a number of answers here on the sky site for setting up a router http://www.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/skyhelpcentre/producthelp?nodeId=25126ec2-287b-4e70-9014-967423a8dbf1

You want to secure the wireless network.
Is there any computer connected to the router with the Ethernet cable?
If not then you will need to connect the computer to the router with the cable.
Check the IP address on the computer. Open the router set up page.
Once you open the set up page, you will find the option to make it secured

i can't connect wireless int

Make sure that your IPod Touch is properly configured with the wireless settings enabled in your router.

NOPE, you don't need to buy another one. It will work on ANY high speed connection in the world.

You have to configure your router...

If your ISP provided you with IP Address, enter the assigned IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address anbd DNS IP address for your broadband router.

If you connect to the Internet using an xDSL Modem and your ISP has provided you with a Password and a Service Name, then your ISP uses PPPoE to establish a connection. You must enter the required information.

Hope this could help..

Mon =)

OK - it can be very simple to do, but took me two hours to work out ;-)

Google for all the info you can.

Download the recovery utility from Netgear.
Download the latest OS from Netgear.
Flash the router with the OS.
Enter the router config panel.
Change the Sky login and password to the ones given you by your ISP.

That should be that.

Keep trying: I did, I'm no expert, and I got there.

Do everything you can to a*sf*ck Murdoch and his company.
