    Isn't the account tied to the actual phone line? So while the router will work elsewhere, the OPs account can't be used elsewhere?

    Correct. Eircom uses the same username/password for all their lines and identifies you by other means.

    A specific username/password is only needed, if you are with somebody else than eircom.

    So if somebody uses the router elsewhere, it doesn't make a difference nor has any implications for the OP, beyond that he is router-less for the time being.

    How did we ever manage with it?

    Can't believe that dial-up still exists these days. I wouldn't even know where to begin to find a dial up number.

    My bad, I knew you could use BT and other companies routers at different locations, as they use a unique username and password for each user in the router. Didn't realise Eircom worked differently.
