Odido: your own router on fibre

With Odido fibre you can use your own router instead of the Odido modem. First read Your own router behind your provider for the background, such as CGNAT and IPv6.

How it usually goes

  1. First let the connection work with Odido’s equipment. That way you know the line has been switched on.
  2. Connect your own router, with its WAN port, to the fibre modem or media converter.
  3. Create a VLAN with ID 300 on the WAN port.
  4. Set the WAN connection to DHCP.
  5. Restart the router and check your address with curl https://geekstation.nl/ip.

For many users that is all there is to it. With a business connection the VLAN can be different. Ask Odido.

TV and calling

With some providers, TV and fixed telephony run over separate networks. If you use those, ask Odido for the current settings, or let the Odido modem work next to your own router.

Opening ports

First check whether you have a public IPv4 address: compare curl https://geekstation.nl/ip with the WAN address of your router. If they differ, or the WAN address starts with 100.64 to 100.127, you are behind CGNAT and a port forward does not work. Ask Odido for a public address, or use WireGuard or Tailscale. Test an open port with curl https://geekstation.nl/poort/443.

If it does not work

  • Restart both the fibre modem and your router.
  • Check that the VLAN ID is right and that the tag is on the WAN port.
  • Call Odido if the line has not been activated or is tied to a particular device.

Odido can change settings. If in doubt, check them with the provider.
