How to set up TG-789 Broadband Gateway for nbn FTTC

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

  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 phone wall socket – you probably already have a modem plugged in from your last internet service. Unplug any old modem from the phone wall socket and power outlet.
  3. Use the power cables to connect the Power ports on your modem and nbn Connection Device (NCD) to power outlets.

    If your NCD is missing, please call us on 1300 023 575.

  4. Use the phone cable to connect your NCD’s grey Phone port to your phone wall socket.

  5. Use the Ethernet cable to connect your modem's red WAN port to your NCD's yellow Gateway port.
