Can I use my own router with Sky Ireland Full Fibre?

Yes on compatible hardware, according to current Sky-hosted community guidance. The Republic of Ireland profile differs from the UK: the cited setup uses PPPoE plus VLAN 10 rather than the UK's Option 61 path.

Ireland and UK Sky should not share one rule

Sky community experts repeatedly distinguish Republic of Ireland connections from UK connections. Copying UK Option 61 instructions to an Irish FTTP line can send the user in the wrong direction.

Credentials in community guidance are generic

The cited Sky Ireland threads use a generic non-empty PPPoE username/password plus VLAN 10. Because this is provider-hosted community guidance rather than a formal support article, Hlonix keeps the confidence at medium.

Voice still keeps the Sky hub relevant

Sky's community guidance says provider digital voice can depend on the Sky hub, and support may ask for the hub to be reconnected for diagnostics.
