Sky Broadband Router Login
Sky provides broadband services in the UK and Ireland, supplying customers with Sky Hub or Sky Broadband Hub routers. Accessing the router's settings allows you to manage your WiFi and network.
How to Login to Sky Broadband Router
Accessing your Sky Hub or Sky Broadband Hub settings is typically done via the default IP address 192.168.0.1. This address takes you to the router's web configuration page when connected to its network.
The login credentials usually follow one of these patterns:
- Username: admin (lowercase)
- Password: sky (lowercase) - Common for older Sky Hubs (SR101, SR102).
- Password: The default WiFi password printed on the sticker on your router - Common for newer Sky Broadband Hubs (e.g., SR203, Sky Q Hub ER110/ER115).
Always check the label on your specific Sky router first, as it often indicates the correct password to use. If you have changed your admin password previously, you'll need to use that custom password instead.
- Connect your computer or phone to your Sky router's network via WiFi or an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and type 'http://192.168.0.1' into the address bar.
- Enter the username, which is usually 'admin'.
- Enter the password. This is often 'sky'. For newer Sky Broadband Hubs (SR203, etc.), it might be the same as the default WiFi password printed on the router label.
- Click 'Login' or 'Log In' to access the Sky router interface.

Troubleshooting Issues with Sky Broadband Router
Problems logging into your Sky router? Try these solutions:
- Verify IP Address: Confirm you are using '192.168.0.1'.
- Check Credentials: Use username 'admin'. For the password, try 'sky' AND the WiFi password printed on the router label. Passwords are case-sensitive.
- Network Connection: Ensure your device is connected to the Sky network (WiFi or Ethernet). Check router lights are stable (power, internet, WiFi).
- Browser Cache: Clear browser data or use an incognito/private window.
- Router Restart: Power cycle the Sky Hub. Switch it off using the power button or unplug it, wait a minute, switch it back on. Allow several minutes to reconnect.
- Factory Reset: If you've changed the admin password and forgotten it, find the reset button (usually recessed on the back/side). Press and hold it with a pin for about 10-15 seconds until the power light flashes. Release the button. The router will restart with factory defaults. The login password will revert to 'sky' or the default WiFi password from the label. *Note: This erases all custom settings (WiFi name changes, etc.).*
- Contact Sky Support: If login issues persist after a reset, contact Sky Broadband support.
Sky Broadband Router setup
Common tasks after logging into the Sky router interface:
- Change Admin Password (Recommended): If logged in with 'sky', it's advisable (though not always required by Sky) to change the admin password under Maintenance > Set Password or similar.
- Customize WiFi Settings: Go to Wireless settings. You can change the Network Name (SSID) and WiFi Password. Sky routers often combine 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands; you might find options to split them.
- Check Connection Status: View Broadband/WAN connection details (DSL/Fiber status, IP address, line speed).
- Manage Connected Devices: See a list of devices currently connected to your network under Attached Devices or similar.
- Configure Security Settings: Review firewall settings (usually best left at default).
- Parental Controls (Sky Broadband Buddy): Sky's main parental controls are typically managed via the separate Sky Broadband Buddy app/service, not directly in the router UI.
- Diagnostics: Use built-in tools like connection tests or logs under Maintenance.
