Westnet modem settings

Hi I just signed up to westnet and my line has been activated already but I have not received my modem so I was wondering if anybody has the settings so I can use my own modem until the westnet modem gets sent out

Is it their VDSL service? What modem do you have?

Looks like unique creds like Sky, in that case you'd have to call them and request them.

Yeah I found them but it looked to me like the Australian settings and did not think that would work for the Irish provider.

I did call and request the settings and was told they would call me back but still waiting on their call

Westnet.com.au? That's an Australian ISP

I did try changing the .com.au to .ie as it's westnet ireland I signed up to but none of above modems wanted to go live

You'd swear I wasnt currently drinking an energy drink....total brainfart.

Yeah, their site doesnt mention any crucial terms so I'm afraid I'm clueless here.

It's ok i was hoping that if I was lucky enough that somebody knew the settings I needed then I could get rid of the awful mobile broadband I am currently using and use an old modem until westnets modem is delivered

It's most likely unique username, was always unique on their wireless service

Thank you everybody who commented and posted my query is resolved now as westnet just returned my call they have rushed through setting up their modem/router and one of their engineers have offered to drop it in to me today so no more having to use the awful mobile broadband device.
