We switched over today from 2Degrees hyperfibre to Quic hyperfibre but now we can't log into our Nokia router. I've logged in many times before when with 2Degrees but now I can't get into it wirelessly or with a cable. Is there anyone that can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

The Nokia is an ONT, most likely now in bridge mode (rather than debaucherised gateway mode), so you need to purchase a router.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

NVRensburg: We used this router 2 days ago. It's a router

https://sp.chorus.co.nz/product-update/rgw-ont-withdrawal-changes#:~:text=In%20March%20we%20provided%20formal,network%20by%2031%20October%202024.

As of 30th of October all new connections can't use the Nokia ONT as a "router" it is now simply a "bridge" and you cannot log into it, most RSPs have adopted this approach in advance of the 30th of October deadline.

You will now need to go out and buy a router.

here is a guide to pick one https://www.pbtech.co.nz/hyperfibre

For terms of reference RGW = Residential Gateway just another term for router

NVRensburg:

Thank you for your advice and explanations. Makes it a lot easier to understand. Ok I think we may downgrade with Quic and see how we go for the month and if we don't win we'll try another provider. We have 4 x Deco M5's around our house as we have a large double story. Could you give us some advice on maybe something better than those to get better coverage all over our house?

You seem to have moved to Quic, so you can use the Deco M5 with one connected to the ONT and set to router mode.

You should be able to configure the mesh system from the Deco app.

For best performance, connect the Deco mesh using Ethernet where possible, and connect the gaming console using Ethernet too.

Using WiFi for gaming will not help, even if you have the fastest possible connection.

Totally missed the Deco reply (it was posted at the exact same time as my post).

But yes, configure and use this and drop your plan down to the "900/400Mbit" plan.

On your Deco -

PPPoE, username "quic@quic.nz" and password can be anything except blank. You only use the first port of the Nokia ONT. Should get you online quickly.
