Hi, hoping someone can provide some clarity for me. Feel free to point out where and how I'm being an idiot. Just need some guidance.
This sits somewhere between this forum and the Spark forum.
My Spark HG659b needs rebooting regularly, it is now up to a couple of times a day. I never have to power cycle there ONT. So I'm confident that the router is a bit flaky. It also liked to hand out duplicate IPs with the DHCP range which confirms something isn't right. The only thing that has changed in my home network since I moved to fibre is the introduction of the 659b router and before that things all worked pretty reasonably.
So, I now have in my possession a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter POE (5 port). I'm going to run the SOHO wizard but I know I need some bits of information after of that.
I currently have a static IP allocated from Spark, but I note in the config guide for the EdgeRouter that I will also need the subnet mask or prefix length, the Spark gateway and the DNS.
I know the static IP and the DNS addresses, but cannot find the additional information needed to populate this info. There current router does not display it in they internet settings, and it's not listed anywhere obvious in Spark information.
Whilst I have an outstanding question with spark on this (I've not given them much opportunity to respond yet as I've only just made the request for information), I was wondering if anyone has been through this before with one of these (or similar) routers and might have the information to hand.
Caution: responding to this will likely involve follow up questions as I quickly realise I am moving further or of my depth with each click. I am plodding through the config guide as much as I can.
Any help appreciated.
