Can you change the SSID? Is the default router password the same as the wifi password provided?

Home network > WLAN Settings > WLAN Encryption

Comes up with username as vodafone. Is this correct?

Where do I find the router password in the quick guide?

Google is your friend here and very helpful guide on the main VodafoneNZ site in the help section for HG659

Thank you very much! Wasn't home when the device was installed.

If you have a HG659 provided by vodafone please use the following to login

standard access

Username - vodafone

password -vodafoneAdmin access - Admin ( with capital A ) and password is @ and last 8 digits of the of the serial. like @12345678

Quic Broadband

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

As an existing customer I can't figure out how to sign up for FibreX 200. anyone have ideas?

All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.

Was there any additional tweaking you had to do to get the R7000 to work with the modem? I haven't requested keeping a static IP so I assume if I want to keep using my R7000 I change the setting for 'Internet IP Address' from the existing static address to 'Get Dynamically from ISP'

Any other changes? Did you have to configure VLAN Tagging?

Yes, under Advanced Settings - VLAN/Bridge Settings:-

... I understand you can hit 200/20 within NZ but for offshore for the video consultations she will get around 17-19 mbps depending on the US server and 7-9 mbps Upstream on the 100/10 Cable connection so my question is would she see much more (real world) improvement on the new fibrex 200/20 plan

<snip>

I have just upgraded from HFC cable 100/10 to 200/20Mbps.

BEFORE the upgrade I was getting speeds of 100/8Mbps to a Los Angeles server - 17-19Mbps sounds ridiculously slow.

AFTER the upgrade I get 200/20 to all NZ cities, and better than 150/10 to Sydney, Melbourne, and LA.

Latency has also improved.

Here is Wellington at 8pm:

and Los Angeles at 8pm:

Upgrade!

The connection seems to keep getting progressively faster. Remember when 9 PM used to spell certain disaster for performance? Well...

Thats really good to see its working well. there is always loss on speed on the MAC layer so looks like the PC u are using the MAC layer is very efficient. like 93% efficient which is really really good.

I'm with her now at 9pm and just did a speed test in Wellington and one to LA server, last 10% of the LA speed test went very slow

LA Server

did go to 32 mbps download on the LA server second time

she has just signed up for 200/20 FibreX with Vodafone tonight so will get installed next few days I guess hope it helps her speed things up a little

Yes, under Advanced Settings - VLAN/Bridge Settings:-

Yup - I've got my R7000 working with the TC4400, switching from the static IP to dynamic assigned and enabling the VLAN tagging.

The wireless speeds seem to be a bit down on the HG659 though - best I've had with the R7000 via wireless is 120/20

Just noticed she was using the old Cisco DCP3008 modem provided years ago ( Guess Vodafone forgot to upgrade ) however i did hear the upgrade after that one was pretty average

Your problem is the server chosen:

Atlantic Metro is ridiculously slow:

Web NX is ridiculously fast:

Both tests were taken within minutes of each other on a 200/20 connection.
