Configuring Asus Modem for SpinTel NBN

How do you know if your Asus modem is compatible with nbn?

There are 2 different types of ports you need to check whether your modem is compatible with the type of nbn service that you have on your premise.

1. DSL port - often grey in colour, uses RJ11 cable. This is the same as the old telephone cable you would use to plug your home phone into the wall socket.

2. WAN port - Also known as the internet port that uses RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect your Asus modem to the nbn connection device.

 

Some modems have both of these ports, and some only have one. To identify which port is required for your nbn type of service, check the table below.
