Third-Party Routers and FibreTel: Compatibility Info

Why FibreTel Doesn’t Support Customer Routers #

We already provide the best WiFi technology, including WiFi 7 and 10Gbps speeds, with our FibreTel devices. Our equipment is fine-tuned to work seamlessly with our private fibre network to deliver optimal performance, reliability, and security.

Can I Connect My Own Router to the FibreTel Network? #

No, FibreTel does not support using customer-supplied routers. Here’s why:

  • Our network is designed to work exclusively with FibreTel-provided devices.
  • Attempting to connect your own router to our modem will not work and may disrupt your service.

What About Adding a Router Behind FibreTel’s Router? #

While technically possible, we don’t recommend adding your own router behind ours. Doing so creates a double NAT (Network Address Translation) situation, which can:

  • Cause network instability and performance issues.

Why Stick with FibreTel’s Router? #

  • Next-Gen Tech: With WiFi 7, our routers deliver cutting-edge performance and full-home coverage.
  • Optimized for FibreTel: Our devices are pre-configured and tested to work perfectly with our network.
  • Support and Updates: We provide automatic firmware updates, troubleshooting, and tech support for all FibreTel devices.
