Sky+ Box was created by robsonma
Hi,
I have just bought a DrayTek 2860 and connected everything up fine. Internet works pc's all work fine but my Sky+ Box's Now Freeze up.
I turn on the Sky Box and its locked up.
Re Power cycle and again it locks up. Sky Came out and replaced the box saying it was our Network?
It has only started to happen since I connected the DrayTek.
Firmware Version 3.8.2_VT2

Any Help would be great.

How often does it freeze up? My Sky box freezes every couple of weeks but I think it's because it's in a poorly ventilated cupboard. Are you using wired or Wireless to the sky box ?

I have had a 2860 since they came out and a sky + hd box plus one in another room, one is hard wired and the other is wifi'd. During that time the 2860 has had a progression of new firmwares, currently using 3.8.2.2 vt3. I have never experienced any lockups that could say are anything to do with the network. Sky boxes do occasionally lock up due to poor software and heat issues. So unless you are running some real complex configuration I would suggest it's the sky box not the router.
