Getting Started
First, you’ll need to get the BoB2™ plugged in. There are a few different ways to do that, depending on which
type of internet service you have.
NBN Satellite
You have a satellite modem, and you
just want BoB2™ to take care of the
wireless internet in your home. Jump
to page 10.
ADSL1/ADSL2+ Broadband
You have a copper landline connected to
your house with an active phone service.
Hop to page 6.
iiNet Naked DSL Broadband
You have a copper landline connected
to your house, but it’s been stripped of
a phone service to function only as an
internet line. Skip to page 8.
NBN or other Fibre Internet
You have a fibre line connected to
your house, with an NBN box or some
other kind of fibre unit or smart wiring
installed in your home that you need to
connect to. Jump to page 10.

1. Connect BoB2™ to an electrical outlet with the black power adapter
and turn him on by pressing the button next to the power port. A green
light will illuminate around the edge of the power button.
2. Plug one of the supplied phone cables into the port labelled ‘adsl’,
located to the left of the four yellow sockets. Take your line filter out of
the box, and plug the other end of the phone cable into socket marked
‘adsl’ on the filter.
3. Standard phone services: If your phone is plugged into the phone
socket on your wall, you’ll need to plug it into the socket marked
‘phone’ on the filter.
Netphones (VoIP): Plug your phone into the green port marked ‘phone’
on the side of BoB2™. Then plug one end of a white phone cable into
the black ‘PSTN fail over’ port and the other end into the ‘phone’ socket
on your filter.
4. All done! You can put away any unused cables in a safe place, but you
will need your yellow ethernet cable to connect to a computer for a
wired connection.

1. Connect BoB2™ to an electrical outlet with the black power adapter
and turn him on by pressing the button next to the power port. A green
light will illuminate around the edge of the power button.
2. Plug one of the supplied phone cables into the port labelled ‘adsl’,
located to the left of the four yellow sockets. Plug the other end of
the phone cable straight into the phone socket on your wall. You won’t
need the line filter that came in the box, so keep it somewhere safe.
3. Almost done! You can put away any unused cables in a safe place,
though you will need your yellow ethernet cable to connect to a
computer for a wired connection.
