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.
| Settings page | http://wifi.wavlink.com or 192.168.10.1 |
| Sign in with | admin / admin |
1. Set the internet connection to DHCP
- Go to More > Network > Internet and set WAN type to Dynamic IP (DHCP).
2. Tag the internet VLAN (VLAN 10)
- Go to More > Network > IPTV/VLAN, enable it and choose VLAN bridge mode.
- Set Internet VLAN ID to 10 and 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.
Not every Wavlink model has the IPTV/VLAN page. If yours does not, the router cannot be used on a UFB fibre connection.
Wavlink models
A settings page for each Wavlink 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.
No model matches – the steps above still apply, or email us the model.

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.
