    Most probably; nothing.

    Turn off DHCP (as all DHCP will be sent from the Sky router).
    Give it a static IP address whose last 3 digits are around the 100 mark, and mark said IP address with a label; can be handy for troubleshooting.
    Set it as "bridge mode".

    This is what I did with an older Eircom router.
