Gather Information

Ensure you have the necessary information from Swiftnet, such as:

NBN service account details.

Swiftnet's recommended modem/router specifications.

Any specific settings required by Swiftnet for IPoE (generally none).


Connect Modem/Router

Connect your modem/router to the NBN connection box using an Ethernet cable or DSL cable if you NBN technology type is Fibre to the Node or Building (FTTN or FTTB).


Access Modem/Router Settings

Open a web browser and enter the default gateway IP address for your modem/router into the address bar. Common default gateway addresses include "192.168.0.1" or "192.168.1.1".

Log in to the modem/router using the provided username and password. If you haven't changed these, they are often set to default values (check the modem/router manual for details).


Find WAN/Internet Settings

Locate the WAN or Internet settings section in your modem/router configuration interface.


Select IPoE/Dynamic IP

Look for an option related to the type of connection. Select "IPoE" or "Dynamic IP" as the connection type.


Obtain IP Settings Automatically

Ensure that the IP settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) are set to obtain automatically. This is usually called DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).


Save Changes

After making the necessary changes, save the settings and reboot the modem/router.


Check Connection

Once the modem/router has restarted, check the status of the WAN or Internet connection in the modem/router interface. It should show a valid IP address and connection status.


Test Internet Connection

Open a web browser and test the internet connection by visiting a website. Ensure that the connection is stable.


Troubleshoot if Necessary

If you encounter any issues, refer to the modem/router manual or contact Swiftnet's customer support for assistance.
