How to self- install your Vox Router
This article is for new Vox FTTH customers who need to install and set up their Vox Fibre WiFi router
Vox will order a fibre line from the fibre supplier who then lays the fibre outside the property boundary wall. The fibre line supplier then needs to run fibre from your boundary wall to inside your home and connect it to a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) device. The make/model of the CPE device is supplier-dependent. Your router will be delivered by Vox.
You can then follow the below steps to install your Vox Fibre Router
