NetComm NF20MESH Cloud Mesh Gateway

PRE-CONFIGURED?
If you received your gateway from your service provider and they have provided you with their instructions, refer to those to complete the setup. In some cases, the gateway has been pre-configured for you and is ready to use. Otherwise, you will need to complete the setup yourself.

GETTING STARTED

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you have the following information from your service provider:

How your Internet service will physically connect to your gateway
The Settings are specific to your type of service.

There are two ways to connect your gateway to the Internet service:

Ethernet WAN
This is the most common access type in Australia and New Zealand and covers fixed line technologies such as nbn™ FTTP, HFC, and FTTC as well as UFB Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster™ satellite services. This type of Internet service uses the red 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 on the back of the gateway.
