Setting Up Your NBN Using Your Own (BYO) Modem

Important: If your modem has been purchased from another service provider, you may need to confirm it is not "locked" so it can be used with SpinTel’s NBN service, compatible with the nbn technology at your premises, and that the physical connection is correctly set up as described in this article before continuing.

How Do You Connect Your BYO Modem?

Depending on your nbn connection type, connect one of the following:

If there is an nbn Connection Box installed, you’ll need to connect an ethernet cable from the WAN port on the back of your modem to the port on the nbn Connection Box. This is applicable for FTTP (Fibre to the Premises), Fixed Wireless, HFC (Hybrid Fibre Coaxial), and FTTC (Fibre to the Curb) nbn connection types.
