Since having a crappy experience with the vigor 130 I'm interest in whether I can buy via telecom a pace v5542g or do I need to be a business to buy it?

According to the site: http://www.telecom.co.nz/business/ourproducts/broadband/modem/

 

Or if you'd prefer to grab your own, call 0800 business to order.

 

For ADSL & VDSL broadband plans, order the Technicolor modem at $138.26 +GST

 

For Fibre broadband plans, order the Pace Modem at $299+GST


One would assume that you can order the modem over the phone regardless of whether you are residential or business ...

- Win Phone 8: Samsung ATIV S (XT)

Current Tablet:

Could you not get the 130 working even without the AE?

Posted a thread not too long ago about it - Vigor 130 and Airport Extreme 802.11ac

T
he problem is that the modem keeps spontaneously rebooting when I was using it the last time I had it hence another follow up to whether it is an incompatibility or was my experience just a situation of bad luck with Vigor 130 normally working without a problem. I am hoping that the WAN fix on the latest firmware for Airport Extreme will help but I have a feeling the issue has more to do with the modem itself than the router.

I saw that thread, but thought you'd given up and sold the AE.

Have you tried using the 130 without the AE - if so, did you still have problems?

Yes, directly plugged it in - I also tried it in bridge mode and numerous other methods.
