Step 3
Ensure that the power cable is securely in place and
that the Power and Optical lights are showing as
steady green on the Connection Box.
Step 4
Now look on the under side of the NBN Connection
Box where you can see the Uni-D ports surrounded
by yellow.
Using an ethernet network cable connect your
router from its WAN port to the relevant Uni-D port
on the NBN Connection Box. We generally activate
the next available Uni-D port – starting with Uni-D 1.
We will detail your Uni-D port number in our emails
to you.
Step 5
Connect a computer or laptop to your BYO
router via a cable or by WIFI and access the router
configuration page. If you are unsure how to do this,
please consult the router user guide.

Step 6
Most routers will provide a Quick Start Guide or Setup Wizard – please try and follow these steps. Ensure that
your router is configured in WAN mode and encapsulation is set to PPPoE. On most devices you should leave
all other settings as default. Then configure your BYO router using the ISP username and password that we
will have emailed and SMS’d to you.
Due to the number of router brands available it is hard to give precise setup information here. We recommend
consulting your router user guide or speaking to the manufacturer of your device.
Step 7
After you have successfully configured your BYO router please wait a couple of minutes for it to connect to
the network. After a couple of minutes you should see the authentication light on the router become lit and
steady (not flashing). The authentication light is often labelled ‘Internet’ or ‘www’ or ‘Web’. Please consult your
router user guide if you are unsure which light is the authentication light.
