D-Link Router Settings

Set your D-Link router to DHCP and tag VLAN 10 – the steps and menu names for D-Link firmware.

Before you start

Connect the router's WAN / internet port to the port on your fibre box (ONT) that we activated – it is in your activation email, and it is usually the one with the light on. Then open the router's settings page.

1. Set the internet connection to DHCP

  1. Go to Settings > Internet > IPv4.
  2. Set My Internet Connection is to Dynamic IP (DHCP).
  3. Save.

2. Tag the internet VLAN (VLAN 10)

  1. Go to Settings > Internet > VLAN (on some firmware Advanced > VLAN).
  2. Turn VLAN on and set Internet VLAN ID to 10 with Priority 0. Leave the IPTV and VoIP rows off unless we have told you otherwise.
  3. Save; the router reconnects.

3. Check it works

Give the router a minute, then look at its status page: the WAN or internet section should show an IP address from us. Open a website to confirm. If the WAN stays blank, the VLAN or the DHCP setting has not taken – check both, then restart the router.

On the DSL/DVA models, add an Ethernet WAN connection (not ADSL/VDSL) before setting DHCP and the VLAN.

D-Link models

A settings page for each D-Link model we have seen on New Zealand fibre. If yours is not here the steps above still apply – the menus are the same across the brand.

Routers we recommend

These arrive set up for ASH NET – plug them into the fibre box and they work. On a 12-month plan you can rent one for $7.50 a month instead of buying.

Still stuck? Email [email protected] with the router make and model and a photo of the screen, or call 09 269 4000. We can also supply a pre-configured router – see the shop.
