Hi, I am very confused. Just flashed the latest (03-26-2021-r46177) build to my Netgear R8000 router, everything flashed OK as far as I can tell, I can log in after changing my password etc....

However, I am lost, where is the DHCP option 60/61 setting located? I need to input some details there for Sky, so my Draytek modem passes the information to get the internet connected, but I cannot see the option anywhere?

Please, any assistance?

Thanks! Cool

Hi thank you, I see DHCP Vendorclass, but no option 60/61? This gui doesn't look anything like I've seen in guides (which are seemingly all well out of date)

Still lost with what I must do to get sky working.

Thank you, and option 61? That is where I must input some detail I believe.

So hard to figure out, I'm usually good at google, but all the guides are out of date or just wrong.

I think this is beyond me, so much information, all of it different, and most of it out of date. I am more confused Sad

There is no DHCP option 61 anywhere. The GUI looks nothing like the guides. Most the guides are out of date anyway.

I have seen other threads where people comment that DHCP option 60/61 is missing from the gui.

Some threads make it look incredibly complicated, where others look like they type a generic username on a box and they're done.

Sorry, I've seen those links, they all say different things and are years and years out of date. Plus, my gui doesn't look like the images shown. There is no simple option 61 and option 60 anywhere.

Thanks for your efforts though. It seems without a modern guide or even a firmware with the right setting that match the guides, I am at a loss.
