Hi all,

Recently made the decision to move to Slingshot’s $60 UFB plan after Skinny raised prices again.

Have opted to use the router provided by Skinny rather than pay the $5 a month to rent one from slingshot, but have seemingly hit a snag trying to configure it to work now that the connection has switched over. Have followed all the steps suggested on slingshots website but it’s simply refusing to connect.

Has anyone else had any experience trying to get the Skinny VRV9517UWAC34-A-SP Arcadyan router working with Slingshot?

Skinny is untagged VLAN / 2Degrees is Tagged VLAN10 so you need to enable that on the WAN interface

everything else is the same

Turns out there was a simple reason for it not working after talking to Slingshot Support this morning:

Slingshot had configured the connection to be on LAN2 from the ONT, not LAN1 (which my previous Skinny connection was on) - as soon as i plugged the cable into LAN2 on the ONT, it started working immediately.

Seems a bit strange to not have that simple troubleshooting step listed on their website, but alas all is well.

Thanks team.
