i call spark with router failure they just send me another one, though there was a shipping fee

gished:

 

I've managed to locate a ubiquiti edgerouter. If I tag the WAN port to VLAN10 will that work or does it really need to be a spark branded device?

 

Edgerouter should be fine, you'll just need the appropriate settings. I'm pretty sure there is a thread somewhere with the relevant details.

I've had free replacements arranged for clients, either with a postage fee or a reference to take to a Spark store to collect... You can expect a contract period, though, in the case of routers being out of warranty

You can buy an HG659b for around $10 on TM

Yep, they are cheap on TM. I bought a Vodafone one to use as an AP for a whopping $1.50!
