How to use your own Wi‑Fi router with Silknet fibre home internet in Batumi

In September 2026 a participant quoted Silknet's fibre plan at 40 GEL, adding that the cost of new connections may vary. In their experience the provider itself never went down: the internet only dropped during power cuts.

Nobody re-plugs the fibre: in September 2026 a participant explained that a second router is connected to Silknet's original equipment with an ordinary LAN cable. So there is no need to hunt for a consumer router with the rare SC‑P optical port used by the original unit — a regular dual-band router with a LAN input will do.

Once connected by cable, Wi‑Fi on the original Silknet router is switched off and your own router broadcasts the wireless network. According to the participant, this is how the weak coverage of the standard router — the problem a subscriber raised in August 2026 — gets solved.

In August 2026 a subscriber described the setup: the fibre comes in through a small box and plugs straight into the router via an SC‑P connector, and few dual-band routers have that port. That is why adding a second router over LAN is simpler than replacing the original unit.
