Can I use my own router?

Yes, in most cases, you will be able to use your existing router on our network.

Your router may require configuration changes which will require access to the administrative settings. Please consult your routers manual for information on how to access these settings.

If it's all a bit techy, feel free to drop your router off to our Napier hub and we'll get it sorted in no time.

* Please note - The current firmware supplied by Netgear may throttle your Ultra or Epic Unlimited (900/400 Fibre) speeds. We've tested one in our lab and the download speeds max at around 400Mb/s. That's plenty fast for most people, but yeah, just thought you should know.

What isn't compatible?

Vodafone's UltraHub isn't compatible with our network. This is because their firmware doesn't allow you / us to make the necessary changes to configure it correctly. Honestly, we did try.
