Internode delivers all new hardware with your username, password, and other settings pre-loaded. If you've just received your router from Internode, simply follow the cabling guide, then test your connection.

If you purchased your router elsewhere, or performed a factory reset, you will need to follow all steps in this guide.

Billion 7800N Cable Setup

Connection of your router will vary depending on what type of service you have. This guide is designed for configuring NBN Fixed Wireless services, but includes extra information for alternate setup types.

Cabling for NBN Fixed-Wireless connections

1. Use your supplied Ethernet cable to connect the yellow EWAN port on the router to the UNI-D port on your NBN Fixed-Wireless NTD.
2. Connect another RJ45 Ethernet Cable to one of the yellow LAN ports on the back of the router. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer's network port.
3. Connect the included power supply to the back of the router and plug it into a power outlet.
