It works with any internet provider. Bascially, you need to have a modem which has an ethernet port - not a usb one, as you need to plug this in.

By getting the router, you agree to have it plugged in for a year (although they can't really do much if you don't, they don't have your payment details)

Could you use this as a wirless bridge?

dickibobboy

is it an own fon barnd router? not one made by netgear or something that we could flash the router settings back to what it would be without fon and use it properly?

Just like the sky one it says netgear buy you cant change the settings. but when you flash the firmware it reverts back to the propper software on the normal netgear one.
