How to plug in your VX420-G2V Modem for FTTH

  1. First, make sure you’ve got a message from us asking you to plug in your modem. We need to get your connection ready on our side first.
  2. Find your FTTH Connection Box – this is usually installed on the inside of an exterior wall in your home, sometimes in the garage. 
  3. Unplug any old modem from the Connection Box and power outlet.
  4. Use the power cable to connect your modem's Power port to a power outlet and press your modem’s ON/OFF button.
  5. Use the Ethernet cable to connect your modem's blue WAN port to your Connection Box. If your Connection Box has a set of 4 Ethernet ports, always use port number 1 (unless you requested a specific port in your order).

    Ethernet ports may also be labelled as Data, GE or LAN.
  6. You'll find the default Wi-Fi name (SSID) and Wireless password/PIN on your modem's barcode sticker. If you want to change your Wi-Fi name or password, use this guide.

  7. Your devices will automatically connect to the best Wi-Fi possible. If your Wi-Fi’s running slow, check out Improving Wi-Fi Signal.
  8. For online gaming or HD/4K streaming, Ethernet is better than Wi-Fi. If you have extra Ethernet cables, you can connect up to 4 devices to your modem’s yellow LAN ports.
  9. To use your iiNet Netphone service, just plug a handset into your modem’s green Phone port.

    If you have custom login details, use those instead.
  11. Select Internet, enter the following settings and hit Save. Allow up to 5 minutes for the new settings to apply.
     
    Username: Enter your iiNet username - you'll find this in emails from us about your iiNet order, and on your iiNet invoice.
    Password: Choose your own password
    Confirm Password: Repeat your chosen password
     
    PPPoE settings
  12. Check your modem's Internet light. If it's green, you're online!

    No green light? Call us on 13 22 58 and we can help you out.
