Mercusys Router Settings

Set your Mercusys router to DHCP and tag VLAN 10 – the steps and menu names for Mercusys 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 Advanced > Network > Internet (or Internet Settings in Basic view).
  2. Set Internet Connection Type to Dynamic IP.
  3. Save.

2. Tag the internet VLAN (VLAN 10)

  1. Go to Advanced > Network > IPTV/VLAN and turn it on.
  2. Choose New Zealand-UFB if listed, otherwise Custom and tick 802.1Q Tag for Internet.
  3. Set Internet VLAN ID 10, Priority 0, then Save.

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.

Halo mesh units are set up in the MERCUSYS app: More > Advanced > IPTV/VLAN. The Halo we supply for Hyperfibre is pre-configured.

Mercusys models

A settings page for each Mercusys 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.
