Before you start using the internet, please follow these steps to ensure your modem is properly set up.

1. Plug in your modem and leave it connected for at least 15 minutes to allow it to perform key configuration updates.

2. Once the configuration updates are complete, your modem will automatically connect to the internet.

If you try to use the internet before these updates are finished, the connection may not work properly.

Steps

Find the coloured sticker on your modem box

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.
