Look for the coloured sticker on your modem box to know which set-up guide fits your service.

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 1’ 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.

1 - Connect you nbn® box

HFC and FTTC technology types may come with an additional nbn® connection box and this device is required to complete your iPrimus connection along with your modem.

Ignoring the modem for a moment, we first need to set up your nbn® connection box, if it hasn’t been done so already.

Depending on your connection type, your nbn® connection box will either be black (HFC) or white (FTTC). Please use the guide below that matches your box type.
