If you have your own router that you would like to use with Altice One, it is possible as long as your router is compatible. To check compatibility, visit the Altice One support site and enter your router’s make and model number. If your router is listed as compatible, follow the instructions on the support site to set it up.
If your router is not compatible, you can still use Altice One’s built-in modem and router.

Can I Use My Own Modem With Optimum Altice?
If you have your own modem that you would like to use with Optimum, there are a few things you need to know. First, your modem must be DOCSIS 3.0 or higher in order to work with Optimum. Additionally, it must be approved for use on the Optimum network.
You can check to see if your modem is compatible by checking the list of approved modems on the Optimum website. If your modem is not listed, you may still be able to use it but we cannot guarantee compatibility. Once you have verified that your modem is compatible, you will need to contact Optimum customer support in order to have them provision your account for self-installation.
Once that is complete, follow the instructions that came with your modem in order to get it connected and online. If you run into any trouble or have any questions along the way, our support team will be happy to help.
