and a side note from james67 on this

If you are able to access the router's configuration pages, then you haven't successfully managed to put the router into its "recovery" mode. The Netgear Recovery Utility will only work if the the router is in this mode. You can tell that the router is in the correct mode because the power and the "tick" lights will flash alternately.

1. Remove the power from the router
2. Press the reset button on the router and hold it in
3. Still keeping the reset button held in, reconnect the power
4. Keep the reset button held in until you see the power and the tick lights flashing alternately
5. Now follow the instructions for using the Recover Utility


Hope that helps

I've been using my Sky Netgear V1 for some while now on O2. It works very well.

A possibly better guide to flashing the V1 router to generic firmware can be found here:
