This depends upon the type of wireless router that you have. Most legacy routers connect to an ADSL line and since our technology does not utilise ADSL, these will not work. However, many wireless routers now offer an Ethernet WAN connection (often a yellow RJ-45 network connector) as well as the DSL connection. These routers will work if you select the Ethernet WAN connection.

Please contact us should you have any queries or wish to confirm the suitability of your router. We can also assist in repurposing some older routers such as BT Hubs as free access points
