[easy guide] How to setup third party router with NowTV

I wanted to write a guide to take you through the steps I took to setup my TP Link Archer C9 which has custom firmware DD-WRT on it and I use a BT Openreach V2FUb/r modem.

 

You don't need wireshark!! Sky/NowTV don't require MERS authentication, just that a value is there.

 

  1. Plug in modem, plug in router, enter startup script below, save and restart both modem and router.
  2. You have a working router!!

 

so you can just use:

abcdefghi@nowtv|qwertyuio as your Option 61 client identifier!!

in hex form: 616263646566676869406e6f7774767c71776572747975696f

 

Just enter this as your startup command:

 

killall udhcpc

udhcpc --background -i vlan2 -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc -x 0x3d:616263646566676869406e6f7774767c71776572747975696f

This guide isn’t very helpful. Could you provide more detail as to where you enter this information?
