Hi,

I am planning to switch my broadband Fibre from Vodafone(Unlimited Broadband 300m/100m) to 2Degrees(Unlimited Fibre 300m/100m). Currently I am using the modem DN8245X6-10 Vodafone provided, but I don't know if it's compatible with 2degrees's unlimited Fibre

As the description in the 2degrees's website in below:

According to the first, it seems I can use DN8245X6 continuely.
But according to the second, it seems DN8245X6 is not supported due to lack of VLAN tagging.

I appreciate any suggestions.

You can definitely use DN8245X6 on 2D since they also support DHCP with VLAN 10 tagging, in fact it will be plug and play, no additional configuration required.

Thank yo very much for your rapid reply. May I ask where you found it supports "VLAN 10 tagging"? I downloaded its manual however unable to find "tagging".

Vodafone/One NZ UFB requires DHCP with VLAN tagging so if it was working on the One NZ connection, this confirms it supports VLAN tagging.

There is an advance UI within the Huawei DN8245X6, which is where you might be able to find the VLAN tagging setting, this requires a separate set of username and password to log into, however I am not sure what it is, maybe someone here on GZ could share.
