Nighthawk 6700v2 Not Working pls help :c
Ok, So I receieved my Nighthawk 6700v2 router today and was excited to set it up. :C then it hit the fan. This might be far fetched for most of you as it is in New Zealand, but nevertheless: my IS...
I have contacted Netgear and they helped me get this fixed.
Thank you for helping me though :)
Not sure if you can use a router marketed in the US out side of the US. Lets see if we can make it work.
What is the Mfr and model of the Fiber ONT on the wall?
Does it have a built in router by chance? if so, what IP address does it give to a PC if you directly connect to it? If a 192.168.1.something then you'll need to change the IP address of the NG router to 192.168.0.1 or .88.1 as the default address for NG routers would conflict.
Might ask if the ONT can be bridged, if not, find out if the ONT has a DMZ feature. This would be good to use for the NG router.
Might factory reset the NG router and walk thru the set up wizard with IE11 or FF browsers and see if the router will set up with the fiber ONT on the wall. Use a wired LAN PC connected to the NG router when you do this.
Thanks man,
But after contacting the ISP and Netgear itself, I managed to figure out the trick in the netgear config and managed to make it work, barely.
Now the internet that is stream through the nighthawk is really slow - 0.06Mbps (tested on speed test google). My Fibre 100 connection promises 100Mbps (I know it's Megabit, not megabyte). I'm not sure what to do now haha.
What did you do to get it working? Would be helpful for others with similar problem to know how to get it working.

Disable QoS and IPv6 on the NG router. Use a LAN cable connected PC for all speed testing.
Turns out I had to change my VID (or VLAN) setting on and onto 10. I was just messing around this morning and that seemed to work. I can't give you the model right now as I am at school, but I can assure you that the Fibre ONT does not have a built in router. Once I get home (in about 6 hours), I'll the LAN, QoS, IPv6 (although I'm pretty sure this is off).
