What’s your broadband type?Okay, here’s your first technical bit. You’ll need to know what kind of broadband you have, as each has slightly different set up instructions. You’ll either have:
• nbn™
• Fibre
• ADSL
Your welcome email lets you know your exact broadband type. If you can’t find it, just give us a call on 1300 508 830 and we’ll let you know.
Once you have that info, jump into pages 10-13, and then we’ll guide you through the right setup.

Older telephone wall socketsIf your home has an older style wall socket (typically the plug is a yellow square with 3 prongs), you’ll need to purchase a Jackson 605 to RJ11 adaptor that allows you to plug in a modern phone cable. These adaptors can be purchased at most electronics and computer stores.
• Power off your Home Gateway and any attached equipment.
• Check that your Home Gateway has been plugged in correctly.
• If you have an nbn™ connection device, check that it is switched on.
• Double check you have followed the correct cabling instructions for your nbn™, Fibre or ADSL connection. It is really important to ensure the cables are plugged into the correct ports.
• After 2 minutes, power on your Home Gateway by pressing the power button on the side.
• The automated setup and connection process can take up to 20 minutes to complete. The Internet light will turn solid green when it has successfully connected.
• If you are connecting your device using WiFi, try ‘forgetting’ the connection and following the WiFi steps again.
• If you are still experiencing connection issues please contact us.
