As Aotearoa New Zealand Fibre connections use a VLAN tag, this needs to be configured prior to adding the router into your GWN.Cloud account.


For VLAN configuration, follow this blog: https://help.gowifi.co.nz/support/solutions/articles/48001224279-how-to-configure-the-gwn7052-7062-for-nz-fibre-connections


Once the above blog has been followed, proceed with the following steps:


Step 1


Head to https://www.gwn.cloud/ and log in with your account (click sign up and follow process if you don't have an account yet).




Step 2


Navigate to the Network you intend to deploy the router - in my case Go Wireless HQ




Step 3


Navigate to the Devices tab, click Add, and enter a name and MAC/Password details on the base of your unit.




Step 4


You will be prompted to assign SSIDs in your current network to the router. This will override any SSIDs pre-configured on the local webUI. This is optional.




Step 5 - optional


At this stage; when a router is added into GWN.Cloud, the WAN settings in your network will not be overridden e.g. will show only DHCP. 


Optionally, you can navigate to Settings -> Internet -> WAN settings and configure these to match your fibre provider's settings
