Sky router // GLiNET router

Need to replace SKY's router with GLiNET B3000 home router
Seen a few posts going on about hex converter, mac cloning, DHCP 61, wireshark, etc etc

Tried all this but cant seem to do it?
So stressed out cos this is 17 years in the making...been trying to change sky's router for nearly 2 decades...struggle after struggle.

Some people said openwrt is better because you can change the values etc

Need help plz

Thank you

No idea what the actual question is, but B3000 is a bad choice.

no need to stress mate. Why don't you try to explain in more detail what it is your trying to accomplish and what you've done so far, and I'll see if I can help you out a bit

Okay, in the past I bought TP link equipment only to send them all back because sky said to don’t support their authentication etc
Since then I’ve seen countless forum posts about people using wireshark, putty, and hex strings to find the data they need to add into the 3rd party router they wish to have as a main router instead of skys router
Three tech teams from sky won’t tell me how any of this is done because not using their router
Normally username is: anything@skydsl
Pass is: anything
But I’ve seen posts, recent ones saying these don’t work
You need to use a hex string and have the correct username
Example: 12c1ab12aa12@skydsl|123a1a12

But I don’t know where to start…

How to use wireshark to find the handshake of the router and what to look for exactly? What packets?
If I find them, where do I put them in the 3rd party router??
Or is open wrt more easy to do?

This device is not supported by OpenWrt at this point, while not impossible, chances for it to ever be supported aren't good either (and if, it would take many months - assuming there'd be developers willing to work on it in the first place).

If you do want to run OpenWrt, you will have to select a different router for this (or gain a new hobby of kernel development for ipq50xx support for the next 2+ years).

What routers do you suggest?

Anything (supported right now) based on filogic 830/ 820 or ipq807x meeting your requirements (depending on your needs and WAN speed eventually even older than that).

found out the marble b 3000 has open wrt built in the router
Its most likely located in the admin or dev section called 'Luci'
But i would not know what to do with all the settings

it doesn't mean anything, pretty much all routers run it, even the unsupportable ones.

then you don't really want openwrt, since that's the default openwrt webUI.

I cant get this to work even if i wanted it to. Still no connection to internet via eth
Sky's authentication is confusing
Username: anything@skydsl|skydsl
Pass: anything
Vlan: 10
But this does not work, and some people here on openwrt say openwrt can bypass this sky issue, reason i went for open wrt.
Id like wireguard to be honest but cant find any sky related topics

well, we can't really help you, you're not using openwrt, but gl.inets derivative.
get a device supported by gl.inet, or ask at the gl.inet forum.

okay thank you
