Are you using it as a wireless access point only? Because if you are getting hyperfibre this router won't use the full capacity available on your connection.

No, that is a LTE router. Again, you’ve got another thread with recommendations and plenty of advice that you abandoned. You never have explained your budget or anything but keep chucking random routers at us hoping we’ll give you an answer for Hyperfibre.

What devices are you connecting and also what are you wanting to achieve?

I'd also recommend you read this before you decide you need Hyperfibre (even though it's a thinly veiled marketing piece for Cloudflare it still raises good points)

Something like this would be a good AP to help utilise some of that HyperFibre capacity

Wifi and hyperfibre are two things that don't go together. Wifi is going to be your significant bottleneck to saturating even a gigabit link under normal usage, let alone hyperfibre. My FW and all of my servers, storage, and primary desktop are on dual 10Gbps ethernet (servers and iSCSI storage using LACP) or 8Gbps fibre channel, and I can saturate a single 10Gbps link in bursts moving data around. But in practice I don't do much more than about 5Gbps with any sort of regularity.

 

But while I'd love to get hyperfibre, I struggle to find any justification outside of 'because I can'. That might be your justification (or you may have another use case you haven't shared) and that's fine, but unless you're going to do it properly there's little point and you'd be wasting the premium you pay on top of a 1Gbps connection.

 

Sort out your wired network (switching/routing and primary wired devices like a desktop) first and get that to at least 2.5Gbps (ideally 5Gbps or 10Gbps). Then think about wifi and a switch to hyperfibre. Either way you have a bit of time as I'd recommend waiting for hyperfibre until at least after September 2023. Chorus is planning to release their 2nd gen Nokia XS-240X-A XGSPON ONT (https://sp.chorus.co.nz/inflight-projects/2ndgenxgs-ont). Upshot is, this new ONT is half the size and will be wall/comms cabinet mountable.

@trak Seriously? You don't answer any questions asked here such as budget, what you're wanting to achieve etc and then proceed to do a pointless post? This has happened too many times now with every single one of your previous threads and I've now had enough of you wasting everyone's time here.

 

Good luck with your search.
