Hi,

My router can’t connect to internet via a fibre box, so I’ve tried connecting with my Mac. There’s no DHCP, when I connect to the fibre box. Is that all there’s to it? Can I just call Vodafone and tell them it’s their fault?

Thanks

Do you mean you've plugged your Mac directly into port 1 on the ONT? You won't get online that way without some special configuration. 

 

What lights are on on the ONT? What lights are on on your router when it's connected to the ONT?

No. Interface needs vlanid=10 set also.

I’ve plugged into an ethernet port that the modem was plugged into, it has label LAN1.
On the ONT, power, optical and lan1 are lit. On the modem, wifi lights are blue and internet light is red. Wifi works.

Have you tried a factory reset on the router? If you've done that and still have no joy, and haven't got another suitable router to test with, you'd better ring Vodafone.
