Moving from BigPipe to 2D because tired of not being able talk to a person when there is a broadband issue.

I plan to use the same router as I do now which is the Asus RT_AC66U. This is because I have so many complex routing rules setup in it I don't want to have this done again.

Bigpipe uses PPPoE. Can somebody tell me what 2D uses?

I also have VoIP but I have a separate Linksys ATA so I don't think that will need to change.

Thanks

From their BYO Modem help page:

If you have a Fibre connection, use these settings:

Username: Your username@snap.net.nz
Password: The password you chose at sign up.
Encapsulation: PPPoE
VLAN ID: 10

Thanks. The VLAN setting is buried in the router under IPTV! Not obvious at all.
