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

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

  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 will be connected to a cable wall socket, which may be near another cable wall socket for any cable TV service. You probably already have a modem plugged in from your last internet service. Unplug any old modem from the NCB and power outlet.

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

  3. Use the power cable to connect your modem's Power port to a power outlet.
    Your NCB should already be connected to a power outlet - if not, plug it in.

  4. Use the Ethernet cable to connect your modem's red WAN port to your NCB's yellow UNI-D1 port or 2.5G port.
