Hello,

I’m moving soon from Vodafone (cable) contract to O2 (cable). I do not need a landlord phone (neither TV), only internet connection. I have my own router (not using the cable modem WIFI).

Here are my questions:

  1. O2 say that any “owned” cable modem must have DOCSIS 3.1 and IPv6 support. Does that IPv6 is needed for internet or for VoIP (telephone, which I do not need) or for both?  
  2. I have 2 cable modems (sent by mistake by Vodafone) I know I need to return, but maybe only 1 of them, so I might still have the other one (it is a CGA4233DE). Can it be used with O2? (it have ODCSIS 3.1, but does not support IPv6)
  3. If I can not use the CGA4233DE (and IPv6 is mandatory) - which cable modem do you recommend to buy (that is working with O2), for saving the rental cost of a cable modem from O2?

Thank you in advance,

The following FRITZ!Box Router are possible

No Provider router are allowed.

IPv6 is needed for Internet .

See question 1, provider router will not work.

  1. If I can not use the CGA4233DE (and IPv6 is mandatory) - which cable modem do you recommend to buy (that is working with O2), for saving the rental cost of a cable modem from O2?

 

Most likely, the Vodafone Station (CGA4233DE) cannot be configured remotely. Vodafone will probably identify the router as its own rental property if o2 inquires.

If I have my own FRITZ!Box, does O2 support bridge mode?

Hey @alekscp,

Do you mean if the homebox supports bridge mode? No, currently this is not the case.

Greetings,
Flo
