XR500 to replace Sky router on FTTP
Hi guys, looking to replace my sky Q router with the XR500. Has anyone done it? I have tried and it asks for generic logins from ISP which I found online but still cannot get it to work. Anyone managed to get it to work? TIA
- Go to the Settings page and the first page it gives you, Internet Setup, scroll all the way to the bottom and it should be there

not to be promoting youtube but I found someone do the same with a tplink router. Might watch it and see what passes over.

- Funnily enough I watched it this morning. Worked fine setting up an ASUS router but having serious issues sorting this XR500. Can’t even get it to connect to the internet. Ah well, might have to just call it a day with the XR500.
Your in the standard router forum. the DumaOS guys are super responsive to help. Netduma_Alex I'll see if I can get a mod to move your post but I'd hold off on calling it a day until they've had a chance.
For next time, the gaming router forum that runs dumaos is here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/bd-p/en-home-nighthawk-pro-gaming-routers
- Do you know which details are required to get a connection? Does it use Option 61?
- Pretty sure it’s Option 61. But can’t even find that option on settings.

- Sorry to jump on this post. I have a xr500 and sky, is it easy too setup?, these nothing really out there to show exactly what to do

- Yeah was pretty easy in the end. Do it via laptop not mobile phone. When it asks do you require logins press no and then follow the steps above 🙂
