Router for sky BB

DCFC79

Anyone able to recomend a router to be used with sky BB, 1 question though im guessing sky users have a modem and then a cable goes from there to the router which then connects to the computer ?
Ive found this 1 but its a modem and router so could this replace the 2 devices thats in use or could i just swap it with the router thats already in use ?
Excuse my lack of knolwedge with sky but im a cable user and not used adsl for ages. Would the connection still work with tyhe netgear in use as well as the modem from sky ?

thanks

Sky supply a wireless network router/modem, there are 4 ethernet ports in addition to the wireless acess, the modem is built in.
You will get either a Sagem or Netgear, they are preprogrammed with a username and password.

the router in your link (netgear WG834) is the same as provided as part of the package i took with sky. So one would assume it to be fine.

You can only use Sky supplied modem/routers* with Sky broadband.
If your's is dead get Sky to replace it.


* It is possible to extract the password and user ID from a Sky router so another may be used, but it breaks Sky terms and conditions.
