You will be told of the details of what to enter into your router.

What do you mean by " it still says xtra at the top"?
If you've got a Xtra-supplied router, usually the router's access page is preconfigured to have an Xtra simple interface.

I have gotten my account and webmail in which i can log into at www.xnet.co.nz and it shows the ammount of gb but i have used 0mb. will i be emailed extra details of what to enter in the router or is it just my username and password of my xnet account as its active now?

Yes as the top it says XTRA of the interface its a d link 302g

It also says this at the username and password screen at the top Enter your Xtra JetStream Username and Password to connect

I would recommend you use the 'Advanced' link (something like that which is on the left if I can remember?)

That will lead you to the normal interface.

From there, you should be able to figure out where to enter the settings, but I would recommend doing a clean reset beforehand (just to clear anything out... just in case)

I would expect that they would give your details when ADSL was switched on at your place, so either:
  • You haven't got ADSL broadband, or
  • You haven't been sent details of the settings.
You can have a try the following (also available at Xnet's support page):


Username:
yourusername@adsl.xnet.co.nz

PPP Setting:
PPP over ATM (RFC2364) VCMUX encapsulation

VPI Setting:
0

VCI Setting:
100

Authentication:
PAP

Primary DNS:
ns1.xnet.co.nz or 58.28.4.2

Secondary DNS:
ns2.xnet.co.nz or 58.28.6.2


P.S. Use the 'quote' button if you want to quote me...Laughing

As I said, give it a try, it won't hurt your phone line or anything. Laughing

I would have expected some form of communication which would be in the form of at least an email regarding the activation of ADSL at your place. I got a letter (along with about 3 emails) from ihug during the ADSL switching and activation of my service, I would have expected WxC to do something along those lines.

You might want to look at the manual for more details about that.

Okay...

DNS settings are usually not required as the server you're connected to (Xnet) will give your router the DNS settings by default (usually set in the router by names such as 'Server set' 'Server default' 'Server assigned' 'Dynamic'), so there shouldn't be a real need to set them unless you want to (or there is a problem with host referencing...)

All other settings are already stated in the support page. I'm downloading the manual for you right now (server's incredibly slow), so I'll reply soon with how to set each of your settings up step by step.

Now isn't that helpful? Laughing

Reset the modem, just to make sure it's completely clean (optional, if there is any problems do this before repeating):
  1. Depress the 'Reset' button on the back for 10sec.

Configuration:

'Quick Configuration' page:

Do the following on this page:
  1. Connection type: Select 'PPPoA VC-Mux'
  2. VPI: Enter '0'
  3. VCP: Enter '100'
     
  4. Security Protocol: Select 'PAP'
     
  5. Username: username@adsl.xnet.co.nz
  6. Password: password
     
  7. Press 'Save & Reboot'

Don't worry about DNS... it should be perfectly fine.
