1458662 2019-03-02 08:24:00 i just had to do this due to my old linksys dieing on me.

info from
community.vodafone.co.nz
but there is a few bits of important info thats left out which i have added.

1. Open a web broswer (for example, Internet Explorer)
2. In the address bar enter http://192.168.1.1
3. In the Username field enter Admin
4. In the Password field enter VF-NZhg659 *Please note, if your firmware has been updated, the password will be @last 8 digits of the modem serial (the serial can be found at the back of the modem)

note- this has two different logins and passwords. on the back of the modem is the user account details which does not have the flash upgrade or dsl options in it. you need to use the admin account mentioned above.
the name and password is case sensitive.

5. Click Internet

The Internet settings page will appear

6. If there are settings under internet_vdsl and Internet_Ethernet, click Delete, otherwise continue to step 7
7. Expand New WAN connection and click Edit
8. Click Edit
9. In the Basic Information section complete the following fields:
Tick the Enable connection check box
In the Name filed, enter a name for the connection
Service type: select INTERNET and TR069

In the MRU text field enter 1492

10. In the Link Information section complete the following fields:

if you have screwed things up, you can flash the modems firmware by powering up the modem and holding the reset button for (i think) 20 seconds. then access the modem with your pc browser as above.
