How to set up Netgear Orbi RBK50 for nbn Wireless

You'll need to plug in your modem and change some settings to get it working with TPG nbn Wireless.

  1. Make sure your Orbi is running the latest firmware from Netgear.

  2. 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.

  3. Find your nbn Connection Box (NCB) – this will be connected to the wall socket for your nbn Wireless antenna. You probably already have a modem plugged in from your last internet service. Unplug any old modem from the NCB and power outlet.

  4. Use the Ethernet cable to connect your modem's yellow Internet port to your NCB's UNI-D1 port.
