Hi there,

I switched over to Quic Fibre broadband today from using Spark. By the time I got home from work, the switch had happened.

 

The internet broadband connection was active even though I hadn't yet reconfigured the router setup to update the WAN username and password to the Quic values as per their setup page.

 

Is there any actual need to make these changes? Will there be an issue when the router reboots or some other service degradation?

 

Thanks.

Nope - Quic do port based authentication meaning the username / password can be anything except blank.

 

I use this trick to transfer people over to them all the time. Have migrated a number of 2degrees connections over with simply asking them to VLAN tag the connection then the connection just swaps over.

 

Can't wait for IPoE support though as this will make things easier again ;)
