RAX200 Issues setting up replacing D7000
Hi all, Hopefully someone can help me out. I had a D7000 router and want to replace it with the new RAX200, have matched the settings of the D7000 with the RAX200 and I cannot get an internet con...
Hi again Plemens,
Apologies for the delay in response, until yesterday I was still using the D7000, however I decided to try something I hadnt done yet.
I backed up the config file for the D7000, then tried to retore that to the RAX200, got an error message that it was in the wrong format.
Then out of the blue, I remembered a setting that was hiding in the depths of advanced settings.enabling VLAN which was on the D7000 but disabled on tjhe RAX200. Then instantly I got the connection.
Thanks everyone for your help, very much appreciated.
Kind regards

From there you can start the support process. Keep in mind that its only free for the first 90 days.Might help with setup for you to be able to talk to some one :)
what firmware is on the RAX200?
Hi Plemans,
Thanks for your response, much appreciated.
I plugged it into the same plug on the fibre modem that the d7000 was on, yes checked and used the same settings for the isp, it just doesn’t want to connect to the internet.
I plug the same cable from the rax200 back into the d7000, and everything works fine. Just the rax doesn’t want to work….
Go figure?
Cheers

The D7000 is a DSL modem/router. Were you using it as a simple router bypassing the modem bit?
What is this "fibre modem"?
That was the question that plemans asked.
Hi there,
No it actually plugs directly into the fibre modem or ONT box provided by Chorus network in NZ
Hope that helps
kind regards
