Hey @richard2356,

There should be an Option 61 in the XR500's settings. According to information I found online, you can just put the following into the Option 61 field and it will work:

randomuser@skydsl|password

It does sound a bit random but according to people on the Sky forums this will work

Hallo @richard2356,

willkommen in der NETGEAR Community.

You landed in the German part of the community. 

If you want to continue in English I have to move your post to the English speaking community.

Not everybody here speaks English and since the devil is in the details we prefer to speak German only here.

If you speak German please repeat the question in German.

Thank you and take care,
