Router set up

I have recently joined plus net. I am waiting for my router to be delivered. Was told I don’t need an engineer and I can set up, however I have an email to say an engineer is coming out on the 5th march not sure if I need an engineer or not

Re: Router set up

@caz222 Who are you moving from, and what service are you taking from Plusnet?

Re: Router set up

Ah, OK. Assuming this is FTTC (Fibre  To The Cabinet), the engineer will need to go to your local cab to set this up, but the chances are s/he won't actually visit you - a bit confusing, but that is how it works.

Re: Router set up

Ah - so the next question is: do you have the required connection, an ONT, in the property - one looking something like this:

Re: Router set up

It’s Full fibre 

In that case you would normally need an engineer!. Was there a previous occupier of the property and did they already have Full fibre ?  if so is there an Openreach box somewhere that looks like the one on here https://support.aa.net.uk/Openreach_FTTP_ONT ?

edit: @jab1 beat me to it.
