iWay is a Swiss Internet provider that offers fiber internet and gives you the freedom to choose your own router. Exactly what was missing for our office. I want to answer the following questions:
12+
13+
- How was the experience with iWay?
14+
- How to activate the iWay fiber connection with the Nokia Bridge XS-010X-Q and a Linux laptop?
15+
- How to set up the iWay fiber connection with OpenWRT?

## Experience with iWay
18+
19+
After I've ordered the service on a friday and on monday I've already been called by the company in charge to install the optical cables to the office. Despite the mentioned 12 weeks lead time, they already came by on wednesday for connecting our office.
20+
21+
Everything went smooth and about 100 meters of optical cables were laid by the evening.
22+
23+
The next morning I received an email, that everything is ready to activate the connection.

## Activation with Nokia Bridge XS-010X-Q

So I unpacked the Nokia Bridge XS-010X-Q and read through iWays instructions I've found here:

I did the following steps on my laptop running Arch Linux:
32+
33+
1. Connect all the cables.
34+
1. Add a link upon the existing ethernet link and use the vlan tag id 10
35+
```bash
36+
ip link add link enp1s0f0 name enp1s0f0.10 type vlan id 10
37+
```
38+
1. Retrieve an ip address (100.95.160.158) via DHCP
39+
```bash
40+
dhcpcd enp1s0f0.10
41+
```
42+
1. Open a browser and be redirected to the catch all portal to activate the line
43+
1. Enter the provided credentials
44+
1. Wait 30 minutes
45+
46+
