Match the color to your setup guide for seamless and easy installation

Is the sticker on your box yellow? Great – let’s start!

  1. Plug in the cables

    • Plug your power cable into the modem, and then into the power socket. Don’t forget to switch the power socket off first.
    • Next, plug one end of a phone cable into the DSL port on your modem, and the other end into your phone wall socket.
    • It’s time for your phone. With an nbn® connection, you’ll plug your home phone into the ‘Phone’ port on your modem - not the wall socket.
    • You can now use an ethernet cable to connect any devices that won’t be using a Wi-Fi connection.
