Setting up a new du router the right way
Steps
- Site the router high, central, and out of cabinets; fibre enters wherever the ONT is, so plan the cable run.
- Power up, let the ONT register (green PON), then confirm an internet light before connecting devices.
- Log into the admin page, change the Wi-Fi key and the login, and set a device name you recognise.
- Update firmware if prompted, then reboot and re-test speed wired versus wireless.
- Add smart-home gadgets to 2.4 GHz only, so a future 5 GHz change does not black out your lights.

Activating a new du SIM or line
Steps
- Register with Emirates ID (residents) or passport (visitors) at a store, kiosk or through the app.
- Insert the SIM, restart the phone, wait for the network SMS - that is the activation signal.
- For a postpaid number transfer, complete the port request with the losing operator details.
- If the phone shows "no service", test the SIM in another handset to separate device from line.
- Visitors: a tourist line has a fixed life; extend or convert before it expires.

Switching a business line from Etisalat to du with the same landline number - what 3 months free really saves
Steps
- Check the landline number and account-name match on the Etisalat bill - the port request must carry identical details.
- Tell the account manager explicitly: migration with number retention, not a new installation - a new install defaults to promo pricing and loses the waiver question entirely.
- Ask for both totals written on the proposal: discounted-12-month vs waiver-12-month, and tick the cheaper one.
- Keep the Etisalat service live until the agreed port date so the internet does not dip during cutover.
- If Etisalat is still inside its minimum term, read their cancellation terms before scheduling.

Nothing on this page is scraped from an aggregator or copied from another comparison site. Applied to How to activate du sim after deactivation: what the operator.
