Hi,

I live in the Mission Heights area of Auckland (had been on the fibre broadband trial since 2008), but when the trial ended in 2012, they changed the ONT to a new one.  This meant I could no longer connect my Linksys Router direct to the Fibre WAN and had to use the Telecom Technicolor TG 587n V3.  This is a very limited device (only one GB ethernet port) with low speed wi-fi.  So I connected it to a Netgear D6300 router to get better results.  The Technicolor is still limiting.

I bought an ASUS DSL-AC68U modem router which the shop technical guys said it will connect to the Spark UFB.

I need to work out how to set it up to connect to the internet.

I have tried dual WAN settings, made the Ethernet Port 1 the WAN connection; used the third party Spark Fibre settings (http://www.spark.co.nz/help/internet/getting-started/broadband-settings-third-party-modems/)
Although I cannot find any settings to change the Operating Mode; and the encapsulation, VID/VLan settings only applies when I set the router for DSL ->VDSL, not Ethernet WAN.

Has anyone successfully used this modem router to connect direct to the Spark fibre broadband (not VDSL)?

I only want to use a single modem/router device, not bridge two separate ones.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Matt
