Using your own router in Ireland

Ireland differs from the UK in important ways. Current eir support material allows third-party modem/router use with PPPoE settings, while Sky Ireland community guidance documents a PPPoE + VLAN 10 path for Full Fibre rather than the UK's Option 61 pattern.

Do not reuse UK Sky settings in the Republic of Ireland

Sky's own hosted community repeatedly distinguishes Ireland from the UK: Ireland guidance uses PPPoE and VLAN 10 rather than relying on UK-style DHCP Option 61.

eir evidence needs a confidence label

The clearest first-party third-party-router page found is eir Business support. It confirms third-party modem use and basic PPPoE/CHAP settings, but Hlonix keeps the consumer-profile verdict at medium confidence instead of silently broadening the claim.

Provider support remains a practical constraint

A third-party router can work while the ISP still asks you to reconnect its own hardware for diagnostics or provider-managed voice services.
