Before You Begin
Ensure that you have the following information on hand
• How your INTERNET SERVICE will physically connect to the gateway, see below.
• The SETTINGS specic to your type of service.
These are two ways to connect the gateway to the Internet service:
Ethernet WAN
This is the most common access type in Australia
and New Zealand and covers xed line technologies
such as nbn™ FTTP, HFC, FTTC as well as nbn™
Fixed Wireless and Sky Master satellite services.
This type of Internet service uses the blue WAN
port on the back of the gateway to connect to the
dedicated connection box installed by your access
network provider.
ADSL or VDSL
These access types are provided by nbn™ FTTB,
FTTN or ADSL/VDSL over a traditional telephone
line.
This connection uses the grey DSL port of the back
of the gateway.
