Global ISP × router compatibility

Know what you can replace before you buy a router.

Hlonix checks the physical handoff, WAN authentication, VLANs, bridge/passthrough modes and phone/TV dependencies for the exact broadband service you select.

Four outcomes that change what you should buy

Hlonix separates the provider-facing access device from the router doing your home network.

DirectYour router can connect to the documented provider handoff.

Bridge / passthroughThe ISP box stays, but your router can own routing and Wi‑Fi.

Keep provider hubAuthentication, phone or TV keeps provider equipment in the path.

Modem / VDSL requiredAn Ethernet-only router cannot terminate the line by itself.

Research transparency

See why a verdict deserves trust

Hlonix separates source quality, compatibility logic and uncertainty instead of hiding them behind a single score.

Understand the hardware

Router, modem, ONT or gateway?

Start with the box that actually terminates the provider network. That one fact explains most compatibility failures.
