I need to setup a new modem on a existing Afrhost fibre line for a client. I can only do this after 5 hence no direct client support. Aparently it is not just as simple as just seting up with curent credentails. Anyone that has done it before?

@Afrigirl thank you for reply whould the procedure be the same for Ubiquiti rooter (not supplied by afrihost) ? no credentials?

It kind of depends on who the fibre provider is.

On my Openserve line I do have PPPoE account details and they go in here...

Prefix size for IPv6 if you want it is 64, but again I think this is specific to Openserve.

But if you don't need an account you just select that DHCP box instead of PPPoE and it should just work.
