| 1392074 | 2015-01-15 01:00:00 | TP-Link WDR4300 Dual-band WiFi Run Gargoyle on it, easy to flash the latest version :) Solid little units, nice upgrade from the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND Easy just "plug and play" |

| 1392075 | 2015-01-15 01:47:00 | Thanks, Chilling. Is this the unit? www.pbtech.co.nz How do I identify whether or not it supports Fibre? What to look for? |

| 1392076 | 2015-01-15 02:00:00 | You need to have a WAN port with the ability to do VLAN tagging. I can't find any documentation that says that router will do a vlan tag on the WAN port. | Alex B (15479) | ||

Thats mostly for VDSL2 now. I know, I give out that particular router to all my UFB customers. I promise you, it works. I've used a Spark HG659b for a while with about the same amount of devices and found it fine.Recomendar I'm not a fan of those Huawei ones, they're flaky, DHCP and DNS both prone to crashing, and under too much load they just completely lock up for no good reason :( |

| 1392080 | 2015-01-20 20:44:00 | Which isp? Most need vlan tagging pb tech have 200 routers . Was told by big pipe the Asus N56U supports it maybe newer firmware? Better wireless reception vs a old Vodafone netcomm router by far . It's 170 . Was looking at isps yesterday . For 100 speed My Republic good deal 99 monthly . They are a few that Not require vlan tagging . Even cheaper isp like slingshot does 85 UFB unlimited but 30 more for 100 option . Naked cheapest big pipe only in Auckland if you must have UFB . 79 monthly . For cheap heard ex spark telecom routers on trademe as low as 15 . |

I'm not a fan of those Huawei ones, they're flaky, DHCP and DNS both prone to crashing, and under too much load they just completely lock up for no good reason :( I promise you, 90% of ISPs need a VLAN tag set on the WAN for UFB. Inc Snap, Spark, Voda etc etc And I'm guessing you have used the HG695 not the 695B which has none of the issues the Vodafone firmware version has. |

| 1392082 | 2015-01-21 01:05:00 | Keep in mind you usually get what you pay for, and there's a huge variety between the "unlimited" plans in terms of speeds etc @Alex B, yes, but that's good to hear Vodafone got them to sort the firmware coz it was pretty nasty :p |

| 1392083 | 2015-01-21 01:10:00 | The Vodafone ones still suck so I hear, the Spark provided ones are fine. | Alex B (15479) | ||
