I just bought one of these off TradeMe and will get it next week. I was just wondering what was the speeds it supported? E.g Is it N300 etc? How to work the DLNA? Any other relevant information? Thanks.
The advanced menu on VBC modems allow you the change a lot more options. The default login is the idiot-proof login and severely limits what you can change. Let me know if you need the advanced login and/or a manual in PDF format for this modem I will email it to you.
Plus I'm pretty sure they only work on vodafone. I don't think it lets you put anything other than @vodafone.co.nz as the PPP username. I could be wrong and maybe thinking of the Telecom 2Wire modems. I know one of those two is locked as to what username you use.

No, you can configure anything you like in the VBC - it is heavily branded for Vodafone but isn't locked as far as I am aware. The Telecom 2Wire definitely is though, it automatically adds @xadsl.xtra.co.nz to the end of anything you type in thr PPP username AFAIK.
Does this modem/router support VDSL stuff? Future-proof?
Also when accessing a HDD from the Router, it is slow browsing through files, but not when you play a video. Im guessing thats just the router. Any ideas?

No VDSL at I don't believe Vodafone offers DSL, though, if I recall correctly they are trialling it. As for the the browsing HDD, it could be the HDD latency or read speed that is the problem.

ok thanks, I am on Slingshot with that modem/router. So will the modem/router support VDSL when it is rolled out?

I have one of these and it's Wireless N 300Mbps. Use to have a 1TB WD HDD attached but found it a little slow unless you use the FTP option so moved it back to my server.
