AIS Fibre and own router

[MadMac]

So here is the thing, you get Internet from AIS and they give you that fancy router. HG180 here. This even has 2 phone ports but you can not use them.

 

You can also not configure anything else connecting to their network other than making it a bridge. Meaning you could connect you router through their router by using the same account info as user and password. Have to call them for that, but it will disable all AIS router functionality.

 

So, the way to handle this, in my case a Fritzbox and phone, keep it as it is standard with AIS, make your router (Fritzbox) a DHCP client that get it's IP from the AIS router, and all shall be fine.

 

You wont get a PPPoE login from AIS, so don't waste your time

One more thing, the girls on the AIS hotline appeared to understand what I was talking to them. Good, unlike TOT.
