Setting up your own ADSL modem
Once we've confirmed that your service is live, go ahead and plug in your ADSL-capable modem—you should be up and running within a few minutes. If not, you'll need to configure the modem with the settings below.
If you've received any modem from MyRepublic, or have a Fritzbox from 2Degrees or Orcon, you'll need to manually configure it regardless—it won't connect automatically.
Settings required for manual setup
Make sure the modem is configured with these settings:
- Username: putanything@slingshot.co.nz
- Password: putanything
- Connection Type: PPPoA
- Encapsulation: VC-MUX
- VPI: 0
- VCI: 100
- MTU: 1492 or 1500
It doesn't matter what the password or username before the email address is, as long as it isn't empty.
If that doesn't work, get in touch and we'll organize for one of our modems to be sent out.
