iiNet Broadband Settings List
nbn setup guides for popular non-iiNet modems are available here.
If your third-party modem still isn't online after you've plugged it in, you may need to configure additional settings listed in this article. Please check the manufacturer's website for support information if you're not sure how to do this.
If you encounter a setting that isn't listed here (e.g. MTU) in your modem's Setup Wizard/Quick Setup, simply leave it as the default.
Please note: If you use a third-party modem, your included phone service (and any calls) will not be available.
