The Ministry of Education paid for six months of broadband for students without an internet connection. But I had problems activating it.
You can do this from another computer or phone with internet access to make it activate.

Once you are activated, plug in your laptop or chrome book, or connect tot he wifi, network SSID and password are on the bottom of the modem.
Link to http://192.168.8.1/html/home.html to secure the wifi, so other people can't use your data. Username and password are admin and admin.
Tip, if you watch YouTube videos, set the quality to 480p or 360p and you can watch for 5x more hours without running out of data. Use 144p to listen to youtube just for music or talk.
On windows 10 or iPhone and iPad, set the low data option in the Wifi settings.
6GB per school day, allocated each morning for used between 9am and 3pm.
Do all your device updates at 9am on a school day to use the daily data allocation.

Skinny Jump is the cheapest way to get broadband in New Zealand for light or occasional usage. $5 for 30GB of data. Up to $25 for 150GB.
