Why isn't YouTube loading?
Having trouble loading YouTube? there is a quick way to tell if it is an issue with our services or not.
If you can watch videos online through another platform (say Netflix) this is a good indication that something is up with youtube
Where Can you check for outages?
- Check our Network Status page. This is updated by our Networks team when there is an issue/outage on our network
- Check with YouTube (chances are it is YouTube that is having streaming issues- shocking we know! but these things happen). We would recommend checking their help section or they may even have something up on their social media channels.
Can't see any outages? It might just be your connection/device, try some of these general troubleshooting steps for your connection
If you wish to speak to us regarding any other technical issues, please contact us.

My Internet Is Not WorkingLearn about the broadband troubleshooting procedure and the checks you can perform which may restore your services. Before beginning these checks, we recommend referring to our outages page.
Troubleshooting Process
-
Power off all devices that are connected to the internet including your modem. Restart the modem first, once the modem comes back online, you can restart your other devices and then try connecting to the internet.
-
Ensure all cables are plugged in correctly and securely. Loose cables or faulty cables can cause loss of service.
-
Scenario 1: The DSL light on your modem is flashing or off or if you are on Fibre and your WAN light is off. Please refer to the Isolation Testing section.
Scenario 2: The DSL/WAN light on the modem is solid green or blue and the Internet light on the modem is red or off. Please factory reset your modem.
Scenario 3: Modem will not power on. Please try your modem at another power point and contact our team to discuss a replacement modem.
-
Scenario 1: The Optical/PON light on your Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is red. Please check our outages page before contacting our team for further assistance.
Scenario 2: The Alarm/LOS light on your ONT is red. Please check our outages page before contacting our team for further assistance.
Isolation Testing
To rule out your equipment or the physical setup of your home network as being the reason behind your loss of service, it is crucial to complete the steps outlined below. This will ensure that we are taking all the necessary precautions to avoid any technician call out charges.
-
1. Unplug all phones, modems, filters or any other devices from all jackpoints in your home. Some monitored home alarms may be automatically triggered if they're unplugged, so it might be a good idea to get in touch with your alarm provider first, to let them know what's going on.
2. Take your modem to a jackpoint in your home and plug it in. Test the modem directly plugged into your jackpoint without the use of a filter and turn it on. If the light labelled ‘DSL’ lights up, then your modem has reconnected.
3. If your modem successfully reconnects: this means that your other devices or equipment are the reason behind your loss of service. Plug your equipment back in piece by piece, checking the connection each time. When the problem returns you have discovered the faulty piece of equipment.
If your modem doesn’t reconnect: the problem may lie with your jackpoint, phone cable or modem. Try another phone cable and if that doesn’t work, try the other jackpoints in your home, testing the connection each time.
4. Lastly, we recommend running through steps 2 and 3 with another modem, to rule out your existing modem as being faulty.
-
1. Confirm that your modem is correctly and securely connected to your Fibre Optical Network Terminal (ONT). This article here presents more information regarding the physical setup.
2. Turn the power to your modem off and wait about 5 minutes before turning this back on. Firstly turn on your ONT and then turn on your modem. Test again to check if your loss of service has been resolved.
3. Test another Ethernet cable from your ONT to your modem. This is to ensure that the Ethernet cable you are currently utilizing hasn't become faulty. The Ethernet cable goes from the WAN port of your modem to the GE1/LAN1 port of your ONT.
What should I do now?
If you find that you’ve performed all these steps, and you haven’t found a possible cause for your broadband issue, contact our team. We will complete some final checks with you before reporting a fault.

FAQ's
-
It really depends on what needs to be done.
If fibre 4000 has not been installed in your area:
Each area first needs to be upgraded to be able to handle the new speeds, this can take up to 20 working days to complete before we can book in a technician for your install.
If fibre 4000 is in the area already:
If the area is already set up for fibre 4000 then we just need to book in a time that suits you to have a technician around to install the new ONT for you -
The ONT will replace the current ONT at your address, if you don't currently have fibre a scoping appointment will be arranged and a technician can discuss the best place for fibre to be installed with you.
The Fibre 4000 ONT is not attached to the wall like the previous ONT's as it as all in one device it cannot be mounted to the wall (partly to make sure you can get the best placement for WiFi -
We don't throttle speeds which is pretty great. It will come down to how you connect and what speed your device is capable of.
4000mbps is a lot for just one device, we would recommend taking advantage of the 4 gig LAN ports on the ONT that way you can have a fast dedicated connection to things like you main TV for streaming (that way you can make sure your streaming is uninterrupted) or a Dedicated connection for your Gaming PC/Console.
If you're having trouble with your company VPN, go online and confirm if you can browse the internet. All working normally? You'll want to follow up with your company as the software is set up and managed by them. We can't support something we have no control over.
Otherwise, let us know if your having any issues with your internet service or modem – our technical team are more than happy to help!

You should not remove the ONT (Optical Network Terminator) or the power cable.
These units are provided and owned by the LFC (Local Fibre Company) and are specific to the address they are installed to.
They will not work at a different address.
The ONT should only be touched by the LFC's Technician when relocating it (or even removing it and reinstalling it). the reason is because the ONT is a delicate piece of technology owned by the LFC and they want to make sure it is not damaged.
What if I'm renovating or want it moved to another part of the house?
We understand alot of kiwis love a good DIY project. If you are renovating or simply want to move the ONT please get in touch with us here. We will let you know how to sort this.
How to configure a Static IP on a PC- Navigate to the Control Panel in the Start Menu by searching for it
- Click on Network and Internet and then Network and Sharing Centre
- In the left-hand menu, click on Change adapter settings
- Right Click on the Ethernet adapter and then select properties

Malware is short for Malicious Software and it categorises a variety of hostile or intrusive software such as Trojans, Ransomware, Adware and Worms.
This is software that can be downloaded to your computer or mobile phone without your permission and can go by undetected too. These programs are designed to harm your computer or device and can steal your private information as well such as your Banking details.
The best way to prevent malicious software is to keep your PC and your mobile devices up to date with the latest security patches as well as using reputable antivirus programs.
What is MTU?MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit. This the maximum amount of data that can be sent and received in one data transaction.
This is a setting that we typically do not change in our modems and routers as it is now a fixed and standard value of 1492 or 1500 depending on modem type.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4) addresses are stored in an easy to read 32-bit format, making it easy to configure home networks and routers. For example 192.168.0.1 is a IPv4 address and so is 8.8.8.8
IPv6 is designed as a replacement for IPv4 as IPv4 only had a limited number of public address available. IPv6 is a 128-bit format that is written as a hexadecimal and can be written like 2001:4860:4860::8888 or 2001:4860:4860::8844.
IPv6 would only affect your public facing address for now as everyone is assigned a unique number when you go online.

Annual Compliance ReportAs part of s122 of the Copyright Act, attached below is Orcon's annual compliance report.
Do I need an ADSL splitter with Orcon Genius?No. Because the Genius modem should be the only device plugged into your phone line. Your phone plugs into the Orcon Genius modem (not the wall) so you don’t need a splitter.Is my IP address Static or Dynamic?All of our residential broadband connections are assigned one dynamic IPv4, and a /56 prefix IPv6 allocation by default. We do this so we can make efficient use and manage the limited IPv4 addresses that we have been assigned.
So what does this mean for you? In a nutshell it means that you could be assigned a new IPv4 address at any time, which means that it can change at any time. For most users, this isn't a problem due to the way the Internet works. The way our network and systems are structured mean we don't change people's IPv4 addresses often, but please be aware that your IPv4 address can change at any time without notice.
Dynamic IP addressing can assign a different IP address each time your modem reconnects to the Internet. Static IP addressing on the other hand means that you maintain the same IP address each and every time you reconnect to the Internet, and is used commonly for mail servers, game servers, and other applications.
Static IP addresses are available to our residential and business customers as an add-on available on most current and grandfathered plans.
Current customers: You can request a Static IPv4 address by logging into My Orcon, and selecting Change Hub in the top right hand corner.
What are the possible charges I could incur when logging a fault?
New customers: Please select Static IP as an add on during the signup process, or ask the sales agent if you choose to call us.The reason that we request you to contact our support team and perform troubleshooting is to identify what the possible cause of a fault is, and to reduce the likely hood of you receiving one of the fault charges listed below. To ensure that we are taking all the necessary precautions to avoid any technician call out charges, we recommend performing an isolation test before logging a fault with Orcon.- If a fault is logged and the technician is able to prove that there is no issue with the Internet or/and Phone connection, then you could be subject to a $130 No Fault Found fee.
- If the technician determines that the issue lies with your Equipment, Modem (if the fault is proven to our rental Modem, you would not be charged this fee), Phone Handsets, or other devices, you could be subject to a Customer Premise Equipment fee charge of $130.
- If the technician determines that the fault lies within your home’s internal wiring, which is from the demarcation point on-wards, and they carry out repairs as agreed, you can be subject to a premise wiring repair fee of $230. This would not be applicable is you have Wiring and Maintenance, which and find out more here.
We provide dynamic IPv6 address' on most access types. This is assigned automatically to connections with dynamic /56 prefix allocations.
What if I need a static IP?Here you can find the answers to the most common questions about Static IPs.
What is a Static IP? Do I have one?
A Static IP is a fixed IP address that is assigned to you every time you connect to the internet. This differs from a Dynamic IP address which can change each time you connect.
If you are a residential broadband customer you will have a Dynamic IP address by default. Your IP will be returned back to us when you power down your modem. The IP address is then sent back to either yourself (if your modem is on) or another customer on our network. This won’t make any difference to how you use the internet, unless you specially need a static IP address because you are running services from your home such as a mail or web server.
The good news is you can request a Static IPv4 on our residential plans for $10 a month.
If you are a Business customers with us, you can request a Static IP on all Orcon business plans, for $10(excluding GST) a month.If you have a static IP and would like to view this please contact us at https://www.orcon.net.nz/contact-form.
How does a Static IP work?
When you connect to the internet, we assign you an IP address. By renting an Orcon Static IPv4, we will ensure that you are given the same IPv4 address each time you connect to the internet.
Will my Static IP ever change? Can I change it?
Once a static IPv4 has been assigned the IPv4 address given will not be changed unless of course you decide to cancel your static IP service. This means your static IPv4 won't change even if you change plans or move between different Orcon internet or phone services such as Genius. Your static IP also won't change if you move house - just remember to select the Static IP option when submitting your move house order.
How can I get a Static IP?
New Orcon customers can select a Static IP during the sales process, either by selecting the Static IP service feature in the online sign up wizard, or by asking the sales agent. We will notify you of your Static IP once we have a confirmed the service start date for your Broadband.
Current customers can log in to My Orcon, select Change Hub from top right, and choose Static IP as an add-on under Change Plan Features. The static IP option is not available for selection on some of our unlimited plans. If this is the case for your plan, please contact us and we may be able to request it to be added.
Can I choose my Static IP?
Unfortunately not - your Static IP will automatically be assigned to you when you sign up for the service. We will send you an email on the day we add the service to notify you of what your IP address will be.
Can I get more than one Static IP?
There is a limit of one Static IP per access service. E.g. If you have two broadband services on different accounts, then each can have a Static IP. However, you cannot have more than one IP on the same broadband connection.
What should I do if my Static IP is blacklisted by someone?Orcon will not get involved in blacklisting of individual IP addresses. It is your responsibility to contact the relevant parties that have blacklisted the IP and request that the IP be unlisted.
On which plans can I get a Static IP?
The Static IP service is available on a large number of Orcon’s current and grandfathered broadband and Fibre plans.
If you've having problems with your broadband or phone connection, it's important to try an isolation test. Devices that you have plugged into your phone lines can interfere with your broadband service, and an isolation test checks whether things such as the internal wiring of your house, a faulty ADSL filter, or another device is causing your problems.
Genius Users: You should try this test even though your other equipment no longer works through a phone jack. Just replace step 1 with unplugging your Genius and everything attached to it.
HOW TO CONDUCT AN ISOLATION TEST:
- Disconnect all private equipment plugged into a jackpoint e.g. double adapters, phones, filters, extension cords, fax machines, modems, Sky etc.
- Wait for at least 30 seconds to allow the line to reset.
- Plug the modem back in, without a filter, and wait for it to reconnect - if the lights labelled 'ADSL Sync' (sometimes labelled 'ADSL', 'Sync', 'WAN' or 'Broadband') and 'Internet'(sometimes labelled 'Online') light up, then your modem has reconnected.
- If your modem reconnects: then this means that your other devices or equipment are causing interference on your phone line. Plug your equipment back in piece by piece, checking the connection each time. When the problem returns then you have discovered the faulty equipment. Keep testing the rest of your equipment as well.
- If your modem doesn't reconnect: then the problem may lie with your jackpoint or phone cable. Try a different cable, and if that doesn't work, then try the other jackpoints in your house, still checking the connection each time
If you discover a piece of faulty equipment, it will either need to be replaced, or may simply require a new ADSL filter.
If the test so far hasn't located the problem, try checking the following equipment too:
Modem: The best way to test your modem is to take it to someone else's place and plug it in there. This will confirm whether or not the problem lies with the modem. If you have tried all the jackpoints in your home with no success, but your modem works elsewhere, then you may have a wiring issue. Please contact us at https://www.orcon.net.nz/request_support.
Filter: Try another filter or connect the phone or modem directly to the jackpoint to see if it makes a difference. (Filters should not be used for customers on the Genius plans as only your modem should be plugged into the jackpoints, nothing else.)
Third Party Devices: If you have a device connected in between your modem and computer, remove this and connect the computer directly to the modem.
Computer: If you do have another computer, connect it directly to your modem via the LAN/Ethernet cable and see if it makes a difference.
