How to set up D-Link DSL-245GE for nbn FTTP

You'll need to plug in your D-Link DSL-245GE AC1200 Wi-Fi Gigabit Router and change some settings to get it working with TPG nbn FTTP.

  1. First, make sure you’ve got a message from us asking you to plug in your nbn modem. We need to get your connection ready on our side before you plug in.

  2. Find your nbn Connection Box (NCB) – this is usually installed on the inside of an exterior wall in your home, sometimes in the garage. Unplug any old modem from the nbn Connection Box and power outlet.

  3. Use the Ethernet cable to connect your modem's yellow LAN/WAN port to your NCB's UNI-D1 port.
    The message from us will tell you if you need to use a different UNI-D port.
