Getting Online

By default, your broadband settings should be pre-configured, or they should configure automatically once your internet service is ready and your modem is powered on for 15 minutes.

  1. The Internet light on the front of your modem should be green.
  2. The Phone light on the front of your modem should be solid green if you have an active VoIP phone service and a handset connected to the modem. See page 20 of this guide for more details.

Is the internet light off?

  • Ensure that you received an email from us advising that your internet service is fully provisioned.
  • If you have, please turn to the next page to attempt a manual configuration.
  • If you haven’t received the email, your internet connection isn’t ready yet. Please check your last email from us for advice on your connection appointment. It will include a reference number in case you need to call us with any concerns.internode-TG-789-Broadband-Gateway-fig-10
Manual Configuration (1 of 4)

You can log in to your modem settings to configure your connection, or simply adjust your WiFi settings.

  1. On your connected computer or WiFi device, open your web browser and go to http://10.1.1.1
  2. Log in with the default username and password, which can be found under “GUI Login” on your modem’s barcode sticker.
  3. The Setup Wizard should run; if not, simply click Setup Wizard on the dashboard.
  4. Select your provider from the Internet Service Provider list. For the rest of the settings, refer to the table on the next page for the type of internet that you have.

If you wish to keep the default WiFi settings, simply leave all boxes blank and click Next until you reach the Router Security Settings step in the Setup Wizard, which is covered on the next page.

  1. Wireless 2.4GHz must be turned ON in order to connect to this network. If SSID Broadcast is OFF, your network name will not be visible to WiFi devices and you’ll have to enter it manually to connect.
  2. The 2.4Hz SSID Broadcast name is the name of your 2.4GHz WiFi network. You can change this to anything you’d like.
  3. Click Next and make sure Security Key Type/Security Mode is set to WPA+WPA2 PSK.
  4. The 2.4GHz Security Key is the password for your 2.4GHz WiFi network. Change this to something that’s hard for others to guess but easy for you to remember. You may wish to write down your new WiFi details for future reference.
  5. Click Next and run through steps 1-4 again for your 5GHz WiFi network. Your modem has 2 WiFi networks which broadcast on different frequencies. If your device(s) can’t connect to the latest 5GHz network, use the 2.4GHz one.
  6. Click Next and turn to the next page to continue with your manual configuration.

WiFi tip
If you’re having trouble connecting to the WiFi, check the WiFi lights on your modem. If they’re off, your modem’s Wireless on/off button may have been pressed accidentally and turned off the WiFi. Press the Wireless button again to turn the WiFi back on.

Manual Configuration (4 of 4)

  • The Setup Wizard allows you to change the username and password used to log in at http://10.1.1.1. This can be handy if you have tenants or meddling teens and you don’t want them to change your modem settings.

  • To keep the defaults, simply leave the boxes blank and click Next. If you do set a custom username and/or password, you should write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
    All done!

  • If you can’t get online, see the back cover of this guide to contact our friendly Support Team.

  • If you ever forget your custom login details, you can factory reset the modem to return it to the default settings. However, you will also lose all other custom settings, so you’ll need to set up your modem again.

  • Internet address: http://10.1.1.1

  • Default username: admin

  • Default password: Printed on the sticker on the base of your modem

Connecting via WiFi

Your modem’s WiFi has been pre-configured. You’ll find the WiFi network name (SSID) and password (Wireless Key) printed on a sticker on the base of your modem.

  1. Make sure that WiFi is enabled on your computer, tablet, smartphone or other WiFi device.
  2. View the list of available WiFi networks on your WiFi device and select the network that matches the network name on your modem’s sticker.
  3. Enter the WiFi password (wireless key) exactly as printed on the sticker.

Your modem has 2 WiFi networks which share the same default password but broadcast on different frequencies. We recommend using the 5GHz network for the best experience, but if your device(s) can’t connect to the latest 5GHz network, use the 2.4GHz one.

Setting up VoIP

  • If you didn’t set up VoIP in the Setup Wizard or you have a third party VoIP provider, please follow the instructions on the next page. If you have VoIP from a third party provider, you’ll need to contact them to confirm the correct VoIP settings.

Porting your existing phone number to VoIP?

  • If you’ve asked us to convert your existing phone number to a VoIP service, please allow up to 7 days after your internet service is active for this porting process to complete. We’ll send you an email to confirm when your VoIP service is active and ready to use.

Setting up NodePhone

Please note these instructions do not apply to Internode NBN Phone.

  1. On your connected computer or WiFi device, log in at http://10.1.1.1. The default username and password can be found under “GUI Login” on your modem’s barcode sticker.
