I have yes, tried different things mentioned on it.
I can connect the HH5, if I piggy back it to the SR102 - so telephone line to SR102 - Ethernet out - Ethernet in to the red WAN on HH5. and it works perfectly.
I am trying to get the hub working with the telephone line directly connected to the HH5, this is where I cannot get the DSL line to get me a status "UP".
Regardless of the protocol, I would have thought the HH5a should show DSL Status as being 'UP' if the basic line parameters (Annex, Tone, VLAN, VPI/VCI, mux etc) are correctly configured for ADSL or VDSL.
If you are using LEDE 17.01.4, you should be using vlan 'ptm0.101', not 'dsl0.101', which is only applicable to snapshots from Oct 2017 onwards. (see section 7.17 of the guide)
Client ID and vendor class also appears to be missing. See section 7.5 of the install guide for Sky fibre specific info, which also refers to this link OpenWRT on Sky fibre MER
Perhaps, you could try to connect with stable LEDE 17.01.4 first before trying to do the same on snapshots? Sky config is not a simple one, so it may be worth taking baby steps.
Thanks Savostyanov.
I was on stable 17.01.4 since its release, and never been able to get the DSL up then. Thats why upgraded to the snapshots hoping it would trigger something that might be missing.
I tried downgrading, however the snapshot would not allow me to.
even tried the sysupgrade -f , but no joy with that too.
