Frontier's help center says that after activation you may replace the Frontier router with one you choose, buy and install, but it supports only the routers it supplies, and a non-Frontier router may not be compatible with your services. No bridge-mode procedure was found on the page.
How to set it up
- Activate service first using the Frontier router or modem.
- Then you may swap in your own router (Frontier gives no model-specific steps).
Know before you switch
- Frontier only provides technical support for Frontier equipment and may not manage some services with your own router.
- frontier.com showed a 'Frontier is joining Verizon' banner on the day we checked; confirm current policy.
