How to connect FTTP, FTTC, HFC, Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster satellite NBN service

Fiber optic cable is run from the ISP to your home directly either through the ground or using overhead lines.

FTTP, FTTC, HFC, Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster satellite NBN service typically use an Ethernet cable and a Gigabit Ethernet port in the wall or a fiber modem to which you connect your device.

You can use a Billion DSL modem router, such as the Billion 8700 series, 8900 series and 9820NZ.

 

nbn™ FTTC made easy

Fibre to the Curb is a new access technology that will form part of the nbn™ broadband access network rollout to provide access to broadband services to Australian homes and businesses.

An nbn™ FTTC connection is used in circumstances where fibre is extended close to your premises, connecting to a small Distribution Point Unit (DPU), generally located inside a pit on the street. From here, the existing copper network is connected to the fibre to form the final nbn™ connection. To power your FTTC service with electricity and provide your connection to the nbn™ broadband access network, an FTTC nbn™ connection device will be required inside your home or business. In some cases, you may be eligible to perform self-installation of the nbn™ connection device.

 

nbn™ Fibre to the Premises made easy

All types of nbn™ broadband access network connections that utilise a physical line running to the premises are considered Fixed Line connections. An nbn™ Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) connection is used in circumstances where a fibre optic line will be run from the nearest available fibre node, directly to your premises.

FTTP connections require an nbn™ access network device to be installed inside your home. This device requires power to operate and can only be installed by an approved nbn™ installer or phone and internet provider.

 

nbn™ Hybrid Fibre Coaxial explained

All types of nbn™ broadband access network connections that utilise a physical line running to the premises are considered Fixed Line connections.

An nbn™ Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) connection is used in circumstances where the existing ‘pay TV’ or cable network can be used to make the final part of the nbn™ access network connection. In this circumstance an HFC line will be run from the nearest available fibre node, to your premises.

HFC connections require an nbn™ access network device to be installed at the point where the line enters your home. This device requires power to operate, and can be installed by an approved nbn™ installer or service provider.

 

nbn™ Fixed Wireless made easy

An nbn™ Fixed Wireless connection utilises data transmitted over radio signals to connect a premises to the nbn™ broadband access network.

This connection is typically used in circumstances where the distance between premises can be many kilometres. Data travels from a transmission tower located as far as 14 kilometres, to an nbn™ outdoor antenna that has been fitted to the premises by an approved nbn™ installer.

Fixed Wireless connections also require an nbn™ connection box to be installed at the point where the cable from the nbn™ outdoor antenna enters your premises. This device requires power to operate, and can only be installed by an approved nbn™ installer or phone and internet provider.

FTTP/FTTC/HFC connection via PPPoE

Application: FTTP, HFC, Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster satellite

Connection Type WAN Port: Ethernet WAN Type: PPPoE

You may need two Ethernet cables.
Ethernet Cable 1:

one end of the cable connects to your nbn Connection Box’s UNI-D port, and the other end of the cable connects to your router’s EWAN port.

Access your router’s user interface via LAN
Ethernet cable 2:

one end of the cable connects to one of your router’s LAN port and the other end of the cable connects to your PC/Notebook’s Ethernet port.

Access your router’s user interface via Wireless LAN (WiFi)
Your PC or notebook must have WiFi function. Search for your router’s WiFi signal wlan-ap- 5g/2.4g from your computer and connect.

Open your web browser -> Enter http://192.168.1.254 Type the default username and password: admin/admin Configuration ->WAN -> WAN Service -> Click Add

WAN Service -> parameters

WAN Port: Ethernet

WAN Type: PPPoE

Press Next

Please let ppp1.1 as Default Gateway Interface

If you have IPV6, please select pppoe_0_1_1/ppp1.1 as DNS Server Interface and WAN Interface

Configuration ->WAN ->DSL ->Enable SRA ->Apply

Seamless rate adaptation may be enabled to allow modem to make seamless data transfer rate changes to avoid dropping internet connection.

Set up your WiFi

Configuration -> Wireless 5G ->Basic ->SSID: change your WiFi name

Configuration -> Wireless 5G -> Security -> WPA/WAPI passphrase: change your password

Now, Status -> you can see your connection on Status page: Status ->WAN

You can now open your web browser to check the internet connection.

VLAN ID Tagging: subject to your ISP’s requirements
For example, Telstra and DoDo require VLAN ID tagging (100), 802.1p priority (0)

TPG requires VLAN ID tagging (2 or 1), and 802.1p priority (0)

Note:

Adding another set of VLAN ID, please go to Configuration ->WAN -> WAN Service-> Add
Parameters ->WAN Port->IP over Ethernet -> add another set of VLAN ID required by your ISP ->Next ->Next

Special setting maybe required by different nbn retail service providers.

Please obtain the setting details from your service providers.

For example:
WAN Port: DSL2 or Ethernet
WAN Type: PPPOE, IPOE, PPPOA, IPOA, or Bridging, Encapsulation/Connection Type/Mode/WAN Type: LLC/SNAP or VC/MUS Authentication Method: PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, Or Auto
