    Help sly wireless router

    I phoned up sly to ask for the max connection, They sent out a netgear DG834G wireless router. On the day I was supposed to be connected I got a letter stating it would be another 3-5 days. After 7 days I contacted them and they said that BT had cancelled the request for broadband. They were going to cancel at their end and set up the broadband again. This was going to take 30 days to cancel and 10-14 to set back up again. I told them where to stick it and put the phone down. I was just wondering if there was anyway to reset the router so I can use it with my own username and password because they have passworded it up so I cannot access it using 192.168.0.1. Thanks in advance !!!!

    You can log into the router using
    IP: 192.168.0.1
    Username: admin
    Password: sky

    From there you may be able to flash it with some new firmware and use it as you wish? Not 100% sure though
