How to Configure Your Router for Our Service

Follow these steps to get your Mercusys router up and running with our broadband:

1. Connect Your Internet Cable

   • Plug one end of your internet cable into the WAN port on the back of your Mercusys router.

   • Plug the other end into the provisioned port on your ONT (Optical Network Terminal).

   • You’ll be advised of your correct port during your connection process, but this is usually LAN1 or GE1 on the ONT.

1. Connect to the Router

   • Use an Ethernet cable or connect via Wi-Fi (default name and password are usually on a sticker on the router).

   • Your device should say it’s connected, but no internet—this is normal at this stage.

2. Access the Router Settings

   • Open a web browser and go to 192.168.1.1 or mwlogin.net.

   • If this is your first time logging in, it will ask you to set up a new password and take you through a small setup. During this setup you will need to select the correct time zone, and you'll also have an opportunity to change your Wi-Fi name and password.
   • If this is not your first time logging in, please provide the password you created during setup

1. Go to Advanced Settings

   • Once logged in, click Advanced at the top of the page to access the full settings, then in the left-hand menu, go to Network > IPTV/VLAN. If you are using mobile it will look different, you can find Advanced by clicking on the three lines on the top left of the screen, then select Advanced > Network > IPTV/VLAN.

2. Configure IPTV/VLAN

   • Tick the box to Enable IPTV/VLAN.

   • Set Mode to New Zealand-UFB.

   • Make sure the Internet VLAN ID is set to 10.

   • Set Internet VLAN Priority to 0.

   • Click Save at the bottom of the page. If you are on mobile, Save will be on the top right.

1. Test Your Connection

   • Wait a few moments after saving.

   • Check your devices to see if they can now access the internet.
