Looks a fair bit better after the ONT got rebooted.

Give it a shot bypassing the router and see how that goes.

You will need to create a PPPOE connection in windows.

That wont work with Orcon.
You need to do it a different way its not a PPPoE based service.

Yeah its PPPoA.

Nope.

Not PPPoA either.

Wonder when the rest of Auckland are going to get access to Fibre. I have two fibres outside my house Chorus and Vector but when I check with orcons page it just says Fibre will be available for your address is available but your address has not been confirmed yet?
Seems so long to get access when the cable is in the ground

Any thing that can tag a vlan on the WAN interface and has a DHCP client.

Pretty sure the Cisco SRP521W can do all of that. My unit has the VLAN functions and Tagging, although I've had no cause to use them with Vodafone RBI wireless.

The Cisco has plenty of CPU grunt for file transfers too. Far better than the weeny Huawei router that Vodafone supply.

One of my brothers has offered me the use of a Cisco 1841... Reckon that will do it?

definitely not - you'd be lucky to get 35 Mbit/s on an 1841
