pe747 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I have a fiber optic connection from CAT Telecom. Does anybody know if you can use your own modem/router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsilver Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Yes, you can. I have a friend who is doing just that. However, I myself have CAT fiber and I'm very happy with the free TP-Link modem they provided. I had the service installed three years ago. When I thought the original modem/router was getting a little dated, I called and asked if they could provide a new one. They did! The day I called! For free!

pe747 Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thank you richsilver for your kind answer. I am currently not in my Thai home, so I don't know which modem I have, but the settings, for instance, don't let me fix an IP address to a specific client, nor can I do port forwarding. So when I arrive there beginning of November I shall go to CAT office and ask. Just wondered if I shall buy a sophisticated fiber modem/router here in Europe.

Does CAT offer a DDNS / port forwarding solution for this? If they don't, port forwarding is just not possible even with another modem / router.
