Re: For anyone using Sky Broadband wireless

Think this is only relevant to the V1 router far as I know as the V2 router works the key out differently and also the important thing is that to work out the key the person needs your MAC number from the router, apart from EUs being dumb the only easy way to get this is through lifting the router up and looking at the label on the side of it. If you are going to do that you might as well just hook a network cable up to the router and browse to the settings page and get the info from there anyway.
The V1s are getting a firmware upgrade soon which may change things but to be honest a lot of routers out there from Sky have already had new keys set due to customers having issues connecting on WPA or due to EUs fiddling with settings lol. Personally I would rather the routers go out and force EUs to change the key as soon as they fire it up but then we would have a lot of routers out there that EUs have forgotten the net key to

The last router from Sky I set up used WPA2-PSK
