    Hi All, any help with this I'd very much
    appreciate it.
    I moved my home phone and broadband from Eir to Vodafone. Vodafone switched my line over to them today but didn't send me a Router . So I'm with out the Internet until next week. Is it possible to configure an eir Router to work on Vodafone, until my one arrives,
    Tks

    Nope. The actual connection settings are locked out

    It should be possible. Slightly different depending on FTTH or FTTC. See attached images.

    sn in the username is the serial number of the router you are using.

    Thanks very much for the replys. I'm on FTC. I'll give them settings ago. I have an old Vodafone Router, I've had from a few years back, its
    a Vodafone Home Gateway HG556a. I was hoping that would work but . Its like I'm not getting a DSL connection, Vodafone said the line is active. All is right on my side. But still no joy.

    For FTTH it doesn't matter what username or password you use. I'm not sure if FTTC is the same.

    HG556a is an ADSL2 device. FTTC is using VDSL2.
