Setting up your own VDSL modem
Once we've confirmed that your service is live, go ahead and plug in your VDSL-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 have a modem from MyRepublic or a Fritzbox from 2degrees or Slingshot, you'll need to manually configure it regardless—it won't connect automatically.
If you have a Vodafone Ultra Hub or a TG789vac from MyRepublic, it will not work with our VDSL service.
Manual Settings for VDSL
Make sure the modem is configured with these settings:
- Username: putanything@slingshot.co.nz
- Password: putanything
- Connection Type: VDSL or VDSL 2
- Interface: PTM 0
- PPP Protocol: PPPoE
- PPP Auth Type: PAP
- PCP: 0
- 802.1Q: Enabled
- VLAN ID: 10
- MTU: 1492 or 1500
- NAT: Enabled
It doesn't matter what the password or username before the email address is, as long as it isn't empty.
