Broadband ISP Ogi Help Amazon Add Welsh Language to Eero Routers
Infracapital-backed network builder and UK ISP Ogi, which is deploying a new Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network across South Wales, has today announced that they’ve “worked closely” with Amazon to launch a bespoke Welsh language service that now comes built-in to the latest eero WiFi router software..
Customers of Ogi’s network, which is currently available to 100,000 ‘Ready for Service’ premises in Wales (20,000 customers have already joined), are currently able to get Amazon’s eero 6 Wi-Fi mesh routers on both their 400Mbps and top 1000Mbps broadband packages (the provider’s 200Mbps plan comes with a Zyxel EX3301 instead).
However, engineers at eero have now customised the mobile app, incorporating familiar Welsh-language terms to help enhance the experience. But this isn’t limited to Ogi’s customers and Welsh language support is now available to all eero users by downloading the latest software update (release v6.47.0).

Ogi’s Brand Marketing Director, Sarah Vining, said:
“Ogi’s mission has always been to provide world-class services that are inherently Welsh. Working with the team at eero, we’re not only bringing cutting-edge technology to Welsh homes but also making it more accessible for our customers, and for users all over Wales too. This partnership reflects our shared vision to make the internet more accessible to everyone.”
Mark Sieglock, eero EVP of Software and Services, said:
“We’re thrilled to partner with Ogi to add Welsh language support, making the eero app more accessible to Welsh speakers in Wales.”

Da iawn Ogi!
Would that be North or South Walian dialect?
Mae’n anodd sgwennu rhyngwyneb defnyddiwr sy’n defnyddio cymaint o byrfoddau.
SSID, IPV4, LAN, WAN ac ati
Well, the translation was done by Ogi’s Marketing Director, Sarah Vining who is from South Wales but the Ogi CTOO who made the original cheeky request to eero at Connected Britain 2023 is from North Wales so it has the Gog stamp of approval.
This is the most important thing Welsh customers were asking and waiting for!
Now all we need is for there to do be a Grogg made that you can hose the router in and life would be complete.
