    I replaced my F2000 with a Edgerouter 4
    since the package i got has a voip service i figured i would use it.

    I am trying to configure PAP2 to work with it but it will no log into the voip server.

    Any help would be great.

    Seems to be impossible as they use some odd authentication process. There have been a few threads about it before and it's not just a case of them being able to give you a SIP username and password.

    Only thing you can do is download the Eir phone app and use it on your smartphone.

    It's not possible. They won't, or can't, give you the correct SIP password.

    It's not the correct password. I and others have been through this several months ago. What seems to happen is eir support see a hashed version of the password on their screen and this is what you've been given.

    It'd be *A LOT* more useful if they actually provided SIP credentials.

    Seems though a lot of these companies are unwilling to support 3rd party devices - I assume their logic is it generates extra support calls on low margin services. Hence, they only open it to businesses.

    At least with Digiweb you can uses their SIP phone service via the Fritzbox as a base station and use it directly with cordless phones without the analogue bit.

    From what I gather, the Eir VoIP phone services are just SIP, but running off some Ericsson platform they use for landline services generally.

    cnocbui in the broadband forum apparently has it working. You could ask him for assistance.
