TANGERINE BYO Router FTTC Connections

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Locate the telephone wall socket in your property that has been activated for NBN. Please note that there may be multiple telephone wall sockets in your property.
Step 2: Disconnect all equipment from your telephone sockets. This includes phones and fax machines plugged in around the property. These devices will interfere with the NBN signal.
Step 3: Locate the NBN Connection Device (NCD). Connect the NCD to the telephone wall socket that has been activated for NBN and power it up. Wait for the connection light and DSL light on the top of the NCD to turn solid blue. This may take up to 15 minutes to complete. If the lights do not turn solid blue please consult the Troubleshooting tips at the end of this document
Step 4: Connect your BYO router to the NBN Connection Device (NCD). Use the WAN port on the back of your BYO device and the Gateway port on the NBN NCD.
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 leave this connected while NBN complete activation of your service. This can take up to 2 hours to complete. From time to time check whether you are able to access the internet using your BYO device. If after 2 hours you are still not able to access the internet please consult the troubleshooting tips below.
