Hi,
I have a RT-AC55U router and I am just wondering how could I set the client id - option 61?
My broadband provider is Sky. I'd like to change the sky hub to a netgear dm200 using it in modem only mode and connect my router to dm200.
What I've done so far:
- Bought a Netgear dm200
- Set it to modem only mode
- Connected the rj11 cable
- Connected my RT-AC55U to dm200
- Set up VID to 101 in GUI as it is required by sky
- Set its mac address so it is same as the sky hub has
- tried to set the client id like this:
ssh admin@192.168.1.1
admin@RT-AC55U:/tmp/home/root# udhcpc -i vlan101 -x 0x3d:<my hex encoded client id> -C
udhcpc (v1.17.4) started
vlan101: No such process
Sending discover...

(btw Do I have to hex encode my client id? In netgear when it is router+modem mode in the GUI I set up my client id as regular string not hex encoded and it is worsk perfectly)

Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
 
Thank you. I found what I've needed.

Just in case if anybody read this.
I did these:
ssh onto the router and commands:
nvram set wan_clientid_type="0"
nvram set wan0_clientid_type="0"
nvram set wan1_clientid_type="0"
nvram set wan_clientid="<sky hub mac address>@skydsl|12345678"
nvram set wan0_clientid="<sky hub mac address>@skydsl|12345678"
nvram set wan1_clientid="<sky hub mac address>@skydsl|12345678"
nvram set wan_vendorid="2.91.2110.R|001|SR102|<sky hub sno>"
nvram set wan0_vendorid="2.91.2110.R|001|SR102|<sky hub sno>"
nvram set wan1_vendorid="2.91.2110.R|001|SR102|<sky hub sno>"
nvram commit
reboot

E.G. <sky hub mac address> = 705070507050 without columns
E.G <sky hub sno> = AC42111B001111
(None of these are mine ofc :) )
the password 12345678 seems to be consistent for every sky user, but I checked it with wireshark for making it for sure
also it was very important to set VID 101 under LAN/IPTV
also do not modify your mac under WAN/Internet Connection -> Special Requirement from ISP
 
what exactly doesnt work if you dont use VID 101?
Sky Ondemand and Sky go both work fine without me setting it

not sure why your adding wan1 either
12345678 isnt the password thats just what i replaced my password with
every sr102 has a unique password
 
Hi Shonk,

Without VID101 I have not Internet at all. One of my collegues give me the hint that he had to sat VID101 in order to have internet.
Without this I don't even get IP address from sky.

In terms of wan1, to be honest I wasn't sure about which clientid I should set, so I set all.
Most probably wan_clientid would be engough.

In connection with the password, I gues we (collegue and I) have a newer/different modell form sky hub or newer/different version of firmware, becuase we checked the clientid and vendor id with wireshark and the password was 1234578. Funny isn't it? :D
My gues is that you have the router called "Sky Hub" and we have "Sky Q Hub" which is flat and has got only 2 LAN ports.
 
you should find you dont need VID101 and it was just waiting for the dhcp lease to expire for your sky q hub

and that you have added up 1 + 1 and got 3
