We have sky internet at home and my old router from when i had virgin cable at mums and dads...Now the router has stopped working and all i`m getting is 4 orange flashing lights and a high pitched ticking that only i can hear :o i`ve tried swithcing it off and resetting the router but to no avail...any ideas computer geeks???? oh and the modem works fine cause the pc is working fine online.....I would not be bothered about the wireless connection really but the GF`S lad is doing me head in cause he cant get online with the wii or ps3.... ::)

I've got one of the white Sky (netgear based) wireless modems here if you want to try it. We're on O2 now so don't need it ;)

New router required

As it is against sky's terms and conditions to use your own router on their service, its gotta be worth a call to them to see if they will supply a new one free of charge.

Call them abd say your thinking of moving as your router has died and you cant afford to replace it.....there will be a new one in the post by the close of play today :y

So you have the Sky router/modem AND your old router? Presumably you are just using the ethernet switch part of your old router, with the Wii and PS/3 plugged into that, and the PC plugged into the Sky router directly?
If that's the case, any way you can get the Wii and PS/3 connected directly into the Sky router?
Sounds like you just need to get an ethernet switch to replace your old router....

Typical of Sky. Was thinking of taking on thier whole package when I moved, didnt bother in the end. Why are users tied to thier equipment though. (Ah I know - Coz they are control freaks) :-/
