Nice to meet you, *****!
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

I’ve tried turning the router on and off a few times, I’ve changed the Router Max address to “Clone Current Device Max” as well as configured the IPTV/VLAN settings to “New Zealand -UFB” as I live in New Zealand
the internet seems to be connected to my computer, everything seems to be running fine, but nothing loads on the internet

Noted! Thank you!

Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet is a type of broadband connection that provides authentication in addition to data transport. Most DSL providers use PPPoE to establish Internet connections for customers.
Most likely, that's the case.

Okay I’ll try and get back to you :)
That worked!
