Set up your Spark Smart Modem 3 for WorldNet fibre using a web browser. The screenshots show the original Spark firmware.
Step 1: Connect the router
1.1 Turn off the ONT
Turn off your Optical Network Terminal (ONT), also known as the fibre box.
1.2 Connect the ONT to your router
Connect an Ethernet cable from the active Ethernet port on your ONT specified by WorldNet to the WAN (Internet) port on your router. The ONT port number can vary; use the port specified for your connection.
1.3 Turn on the ONT
Switch on the ONT and wait about 2 minutes for it to restart.
1.4 Turn on the router
Connect the power adapter to the router and switch it on.
Step 2: Connect your device
Choose one of the following connection methods.
Option 1: Wired connection
Connect your computer to an available LAN port on the router using another Ethernet cable. Use an Ethernet adapter if needed.
Option 2: Wireless connection
Connect to the Wi-Fi name (SSID) printed on the router label using its Wi-Fi password. If you have changed these details, use your current Wi-Fi name and password.
Note: Keep your device connected to the router by Ethernet or Wi-Fi throughout setup.
Step 3: Set up the router
WorldNet Internet Settings
Internet Connection Type
Dynamic IP / DHCP / Automatic IP / IPoE
VLAN
Disabled / Off
Choose the matching option shown by your router.
3.1 Open the setup page
Open http://192.168.1.254 in a web browser. If your router uses a different gateway address, use that address instead.
3.2 Log in to the router
The original guide lists admin for both username and password. Use the details on your router label or your current login details if they differ.
3.3 Open the Ethernet WAN settings
Go to Network > WAN. Select Ethernet WAN as the WAN Type, then select Edit for the connection.
Note: The old summary row shows the previous connection settings, including VLAN 10 and PPPoE. Change them to the WorldNet settings below.
3.4 Use Automatic IP and disable VLAN
Under PVC Setting, select Automatic IP as the WAN Connection Type. Keep Enable WAN enabled and set 802.1q Enable to No. Under WAN DNS settings, choose to connect to the DNS server automatically.
Note: With 802.1q disabled, VLAN tagging is off. Do not enable it or copy VLAN ID 10 from old settings. A VLAN ID value is not needed while tagging is disabled.
3.5 Save the settings
Select Save Settings. Wait a few minutes for the router to establish the internet connection.
Step 4: Test your internet connection
Connect your device to the router by Ethernet or Wi-Fi, then open a website to check that the internet works.
Note: If you test on a phone, temporarily turn off mobile data so you can confirm the connection is coming through Wi-Fi rather than 4G/5G.
