My home network is.. more complicated than strictly necessary.   So I'm very unlikely to want an ISP supplied router to use with it, so ahead of my connection for the UFB I'm trying to ensure the router I use will be up to the task. (spoiler: my current router tops out at about 25mbps.. so it's not)

What I've looked for and been unable to find is a list of settings to use a 3rd party router with.  For example spark has a really nice easy summary here: http://help.spark.co.nz/app/answers/detail/a_id/1180/~/broadband-settings-for-third-party-modems

Is there a similar list somewhere for vodafone?

  • Operating Mode : IP Over Ethernet
  • PPP Auth Type : Assigned by ISP, Or Dynamic
  • VID (or VLAN) : 10


IP Over Ethernet..  Is this a more complex way of just saying: 'Setup the correct IPv4 settings on vlan 10 and you are away' (probably DHCP) with no more authentication to worry about than that?


It's pretty much DHCP, plug in to your new routers WAN port from the ONT, VLAN 10 tagging and then set it to DHCP and it will assign a public IP address
