The simple process requires you to first sign up to a new broadband package, after which you will receive a new router from your chosen service provider. You can use our tool to compare broadband packages and decide which is best for you.
On the day your new package is activated, you'll simply need to plug your new router into the master phone socket and switch it on. In most cases you'll need to use the microfilters supplied with your router. These allow older phone lines to run broadband and phone calls without interference.
An engineer will do the rest of the work outside of your property, either installing new wiring or simply switching your service at the cabinet.
Once your new broadband is up and running, it's a simple case of connecting your wireless devices to your WiFi. You'll need to enter the Wifi SSID (or the network name) and the WiFi password. These are most commonly found on a sticker on your new router, or sometimes printed in the instruction manual provided. If you have any issues with your connection now it's setup, check out our guide on broadband troubleshooting.
This kind of installation is possible for many major networks including BT, Vodafone and NOW Broadband.
