Hi all. Can anyone advise if the wifi can be enabled on the new Chorus Type 300 ONT? I guess I am surprised why this feature is disabled by default. TIA, Andy.

Currently no isps are using the inbuilt gateway, they prefer to supply a separate router, further I don't think chorus currently offers it.

At the moment the wireless is simply used by the installer to commission the ont, it is then turned off.
