The router side setup is straight DHCP. No credentials needed. At one time I had to call them to swap out the router as they had it locked down to a single mac address but the last time I did it they just had me go on the router and release the address and put the new router in place and all was g

Verizon sold to Frontier then to Ziply Fiber. I just got Ziply (back in Oct) to upgrade me to 1Gb. I have my own router since I switch from DSL to Fiber. Wasn't an issue. Ziply didn't have an issue with my own router either. Even waved the installation charge (for the upgrade) even though they had
