Troubleshooting Tips
- The internet light is flashing on the front of the Netcomm device. This suggests that the nbn™ authentication details are incorrectly configured in your device. This should not occur, but in rare instance that it does, please call 1800 733 368 and our team can assist in checking these details.
- If you need to login to the modem the default username and password should be admin/admin. IF your modem has already connected to the internet – for security reasons the password will likely secure itself and become admin + the last 6 digits of the device MAC addresses. For example adminD45FRE
- Your ISP username and password will have been emailed and SMS’d to you after activation.
