Hi all,

My brother is one of the lucky ones who have the ability to get Spark Fibre.
They have had the install done, and a Spark Fibre "White box" is on the wall.
I'm assuming thats the Fibre modem.
So now he's trying to use a Linksys XAC1900 to work through that.
With him being in Mosgiel and me in Christchurch it's damned hard working on the phone. (He has Macs and apple stuff pretty much exclusively, which I've never owned).

I think I got him 90% of the way there, but doing it via the phone has given me a whole new appriciation of what modem/router helpdesks get asked. (He's not computer illiterate, but I'd not call him computer literate either, somewhere inbetween).

So based on the assumptions the "White box on the wall" is indeed a fibre modem which you can hook into a router bridged mode should work in theory or am I completely wrong?

Oh, The manual for this modem/router SUCKS, it's amazing in what it misses out (online or not).

Any help/suggestions you could provide would be very much appriciated.
It what I thought was a very simple wireless router -> modem connection but it's not proving to be that way.

Thanks in advance,
Tel
