In our area, we have Windstream, and we have fiber to the house at that. What happens is that we also have Cat6 ethernet cabling in the house. The only thing the tech did was make sure that the cabling that was coming from outside the house was properly terminated, and then that simply plugged into the bottom of one of my Velop nodes.

Then, we simply set up for PPPoE (username and password), and I was good to go.

It was extremely simple to set up and completely removed the need for us to use any other modem for signaling.

The system should work with any router that has an ethernet port connecting to the internet. So long as you can hardwire a connection to the device, the system should be compatible. As you can see in my photograph, the primary node is just one of four outputs from my AT&T provided router.

If CenturyLink is providing you WiFI, this won't work - If they provide you an Ethernet connection out of the back of their modem, then this should work normally. If they provide both, you'll want to cancel the wiFi services of the CenturyLink before using this as it will cause interference with this solution. Tell them you JUST want Wired Internet Services and you'll provide your own WiFi gear. If that's a problem, they can help you with what you'll need to change/replace to make that happen on their end.

Yes it is. Connect to model and use the velop app to setup

Hi. The parent node of the Velop system will need to be plugged in to your main modem for the internet.

The Velop system will work with most ISP's as long as you already have an existing modem/router for your internet.
