What we do

NBN modem and router jobs we do at your home

You do not need to know your NBN connection type before booking. These are the setup jobs a home visit covers.

  • New modem or Wi-Fi router

    Connecting the new modem to the NBN equipment, entering the provider's settings where needed and confirming the service is actually online.

  • Changing internet provider

    A provider change often means a new modem, new settings and every device asking for a password. We set it up and reconnect the devices you use.

  • Moving into a new home

    Whether it is a new build in the southern estates or an older house nearer the coast, we work out where the NBN equipment is and the best place for the router.

  • Secure network name and password

    Setting a network name and strong password you can remember, applying available updates and turning off settings you do not need.

  • Reconnecting household devices

    Phones, laptops, smart TVs, printers and streaming devices reconnected and tested in the rooms where you use them.

  • Provider fault or home setup?

    If the NBN connection itself is down, that belongs with your provider and NBN Co. We help you identify that and describe it clearly when you contact them.

Already set up but some rooms have no signal? See mesh Wi-Fi and extender setup in Wollongong.

Networks

NBN connection types we set up

Illawarra homes use a mix of NBN technologies depending on the street and when the area was connected. Your provider can confirm yours; tell us when you book if you know it.

  • NBN FTTP

    We connect and test a compatible modem on NBN FTTP and confirm the service is online before reconnecting devices.

  • NBN HFC

    We connect and test a compatible modem on NBN HFC and confirm the service is online before reconnecting devices.

  • NBN FTTN

    We connect and test a compatible modem on NBN FTTN and confirm the service is online before reconnecting devices.

  • NBN FTTC

    We connect and test a compatible modem on NBN FTTC and confirm the service is online before reconnecting devices.

  • Fixed Wireless

    Fixed Wireless still needs the modem placed and tested with the devices you use at home.

What we cannot do

NBN line faults belong to your provider

We cannot repair NBN lines, the NBN connection box, street equipment or an outage. If the service itself is down, your internet provider raises the fault with NBN Co. We can check your home equipment first so you know it is not the cause.

Already online but dropping?

Slow or dropping Wi-Fi is a different page

If the modem already works and the problem is dropouts, slow rooms or devices that will not stay connected, that is Wi-Fi troubleshooting rather than a setup visit.

See Wi-Fi troubleshooting in Wollongong for symptom fixes.

Questions

NBN modem and router setup FAQs

Can you set up my new NBN modem in Wollongong?

Yes. A technician comes to your home in Wollongong or the Illawarra, connects the modem or router, confirms the service is online and reconnects your devices.

I am changing internet provider. Can you help?

Yes. Once your provider has activated the new service, we set up the modem with their settings and reconnect every device that needs the new network.

Do I need to know my NBN connection type?

No. We can identify it from the equipment at your home. If you know it, or have the provider's setup email, have it ready.

Can you fix an NBN outage?

No. Outages and line faults are fixed by your provider and NBN Co. We can confirm whether your home equipment is working so you know who to call.

Where should the router go?

Usually as central and as high as the NBN connection allows, out of cabinets and away from thick walls. In split-level homes we test both levels before deciding whether mesh is needed.

How much does NBN modem setup cost in Wollongong?

Scheduled visits start from $160. A new modem, router or mesh kit is extra and discussed before you buy it.

How do I book NBN setup?

Book online or call 1300 238 909. Tell us your suburb, your provider and whether the new service has been activated.
