    Yesterday my Sky broadband connection dropped out and I am still without it today. Phoned Sky yesterday but certain systems were down with them so could not move it up to the ' Customer Support Services. But someone would phone back later in the day when systems were back up and running or I was to phone back today, which I subsequently did.

    Line serms fine, took front plate off the main phone socket and connected micro filter to the port inside, tried another router, reset router. Still no connection and perhaps five days to get sorted. Which will be pointless as I will be switching to Plusnet next Friday, obviously something I did not mention to Sky.

    Current router is a Netgear Dgn 2200v3

    Anything else I can try?

    Edit: Should I still be able to access the router from a browser?

    OK, have accessed an old router A Netgear DG834G V4 and I will not pretend to know what most of the setting are for I can usually input the correct ones for my connection. What is missing is the IP address, Gateway and Subnet Mask which is obviously where my issues lie.

    Anything I can do/ check/test?
