Saturday or Sunday the Spark VRV9517 Smartmodem I've been running on 2degrees VDSL plan stopped serving new devices. Restarted modem and it failed to connect to VDSL.

Plugged in the 2d supplied Fritzbox temporarily and everything is working.

Next day reset the Spark VRV9517 modem and configure according to 2d VDSL settings dated 2020 - https://www.2degrees.nz/help/broadband-help/modem-settings/byo-modem-help. No connect. Am I missing something? Double check, restart, no connect.

Searching my mail I re-find a notification from last month something about "upcoming migration of your current broadband service account" "This will not affect your service type"

Uh ok is there something I need to know to make this work now or is that just a coincidence?

Change the PPPoE to DHCP and test.





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.

Does the Fritz DHCP lease need to time out before the other will connect? Perhaps give it 30 mins with neither router connected.

As a secondary issue MetaQuest 3 does not want to connect to the Fritzbox 7460. There are no error messages on the MetaQuest side.
