Are you using WiFi or Ethernet?

When you say you "can't ping your router" is it over WiFi?

Without knowing a lot more about your setup any further diagnosis is impossible.

To answer your question, to try your old router you'll need your subnet, default gateway and primary and secondary DNS servers, which you'll be able to find in your router settings. IP doesn't matter at the moment because from discussion in this forum VF don't offer static IPs on their UFB services right now.

Fibre is either PPPoE or DHCP - it does not use a static IP.

Assuming the OP was in a BOF area before it's unlikely their router does VLAN tagging so isn't going to work on UFB.

Yeah, you'd think someone else who knew would have tried to answer the question, wouldn't you? :P
