understand and agree, but it's a super simple fix and can save a lot of heartache especially when your ISP DNS always go down like in the case of VQ

I received the modem model AN5506-01-A, small black one.
Installed it but cannot work, RED LOS light is on.
Must I wait till 23rd Feb to install it?

Thanks! I called in as usual nobody picks up. I installed back the old modem and everything works as before. So I think the new modern is faulty.

You can only change the modem after scheduled migration. If the email mentions 23 Feb, you can only change then. Other way, is to wait until the current modem no longer works on 23 Feb before switching over. The downtime for me was actually quite short.

NB this VQ,

their DNS is really CUI :s22:, forgotten that ive factory resetted my router once, thus the router customed dns from google and cloudflare got removed.


Had issue with zoom connection and what not to company portal, resolved after ive manually inputted those dns address into the router and save it ,

ya i think VQ DNS is really crap, but on Google/external DNS, their ping to overseas servers seems better than M1 for me. So i still appreciate the speed.

but VQ really for more savvy/power users only.

lol so power until i had to go into router settings to set dns, which is odd considering my macbook should be able to force DNS over https or similar :s22:

How you access the VQ modem DNS settings?

depends if you're running bridged mode. if not, u gotta get access to the VQ modem setup page with user password.

if your VQ modem bridged mode, then just set it on your router, usually under Internet settings.

Primary DNS: 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare)
Secondary DNS: 8.8.8.8 (Google)

or u could use Google as primary and cloudflare as secondary also.

this way got double redundancy,
