Hi all,

 

Does anyone know the equivalent settings for Bigpipe for this: https://www.pbtech.co.nz/NetgearISPSettings#SparkR8000

 

I had assumed it would be same (or very similar) to Spark instructions. But I've had no luck connecting the router to Bigpipe's UFB.

 

Any suggestions?

At the risk of appearing stupid, I'd like to note that I did finally get it connected...without the H659b modem. It seems the R8000 can connect *directly* to the ultrafibre ONT. That despite everything I read suggesting that the modem was required: e.g. the instructions that came with it, and https://kb.netgear.com/25343/How-do-I-cable-my-Nighthawk-X6-R8000-router?cid=wmt_netgear_organic

 

Anyway, just posting this so some other sap doesn't spend hours trying to connect their R8000 to a modem, when they have UFB.  

 

p.s. before posting this, I did finally see something on here that alluded to the issue: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=66&topicid=160329 (incl comment from you @michaelmurfy).
