I think you will have difficulty using your own router as most provide a SIM card locked into the router. If you want it for basic WiFi (not for streaming) then this is possible. For streaming there are 2 local companies that can help. Both supply Movistar (best for streaming and limitless bandwidth with no maximum usage), you have a minimum term of 3 months, and can then roll on a month at a time, so you only pay for it when you use it. Unfortunately it is expensive at approx. 70 Euros per month. I have spent a lot of time chasing different sources in Cabopino, Fuengirola, La Canada etc, to find that the best and most helpful deal was local. The 2 agents are OK Net in Artola (by the Village Inn) telephone +34 952 835 879 good English spoken by all staff; and above SuperSol (first floor) at Calahonda, sorry don’t have their details to hand, but their English is also very good.

Hope this helps,

Henry

I have a SUN box, and it works well at Cabopino although there is some buffering when the weather is bad and everyone is on the internet. The SUN box is virtually identical to some variants of the MAG box, so you shouldn’t have any problems with your Spanish Router..

I have a NAG Boss, and I bring her with me whenever I am in Cabopino and she works perfectly where ever she goes. LOL.

Unfortunately the NAG box off switch only works after a large quantity of alcoholic lubricant, but it is still noisy when in sleep mode.
