How do I set up my modem for the nbn?

We have created some setup guides to help you set up your modem and connect to the nbn. To check the one relevant to you, identify your modem and your nbn technology type (how your premises are physically connected to the nbn).

Identify your technology type

Your technology type is how the nbn is setup to connect to your premises. How you connect your modem depends on your technology type.

If you recently joined Belong, your activation email mentions your technology type.

Check out nbn technology types and nbn connection boxes explained.

You can also check your address and that will tell you what technology type is connected to your premises.

Identify your modem

Labels with modem model information are underneath or at the back of Belong-supplied modems. The images below also help you identify Belong modems.
