- Restart the handset by disconnecting its power and Ethernet cables for 10 seconds, then reconnect.
- Ensure that your internet connection is not suffering any issues when audio quality issues are experienced. Select your broadband service from the iiHelp menu to get troubleshooting guides for iiNet broadband connections.
- Similarly, check if audio quality issues are only occurring when a high-demand function is carried out on your network, such as large file uploads, system updates or content streaming. If possible, schedule these functions to run automatically outside of business hours to avoid impact on your BizPhone service.
- A common cause for audio quality issues is insufficient throughput to provide consistent audio. To check this, disconnect other devices (e.g. computers, mobile phones etc.) from your network until only your BizPhone handset(s) are connected, then make a test call.
- If the audio quality was fine while your BizPhone was isolated, begin connecting devices again, one by one. After each device is reconnected, make another test call. If audio quality degrades again, the device that was just reconnected may be exceeding your network's throughput capacity.
- Run the BizPhone connection test and check the MOS score on the summary page - a score of 4 or lower will most likely result in audio quality issues. Additionally, make a note of the test result number from both the Speed and VoIP tests.
- Ensure that the SIP ALG setting is disabled in your modem settings by checking the VoIP test results from your BizPhone connection test.
Note: iiNet modems have this setting disabled by default. - Consider enabling QOS (Quality of Service) settings in your modem to allot of a portion of your connection bandwidth for VoIP services only. This can greatly reduce the risk of audio quality issues.
- Whether the issue is constant or intermittent, please take note of affected calls in the following format:

Here’s how you can set up a compatible bring-your-own (BYO) modem for iiNet nbn Wireless.
Your nbn Phone service and included calls are not available if you use a BYO modem.
Select one of the links below to jump to a query:
Modem compatibility
To work on iiNet nbn Wireless, your modem must:
- Be nbn-ready and able to support your nbn plan speed
- Support PPPoE connections by Ethernet WAN
- Allow VLAN settings to be changed
For a list of modems tested by our team, see nbn BYO modem requirements.
General nbn® Wireless setup guide for any modem
All modems are different. If this advice doesn’t work for your modem, check the manufacturer’s website for a guide on how to plug in and enter the iiNet settings.
- Find your nbn Connection Box (NCB) – this is usually installed on the inside of an exterior wall in your home, sometimes in the garage. Unplug any old modem from the nbn Connection Box and power outlet.
- Use an Ethernet cable to connect your modem's WAN or LAN/WAN port to your NCB's UNI-D1 port.
Our email/SMS will tell you if you need to use a different UNI-D port. - Use the power cable to connect your modem's Power port to a power outlet, then turn it on.
If your modem has a power button or switch, turn it on. - Connect a device to your modem. You can use an Ethernet cable to connect a device to one of the LAN or Ethernet ports, or connect via WiFi.
The default WiFi name (SSID) and password can be found on your modem’s barcode sticker. - On your connected device, open your web browser and go to your modem’s gateway address (e.g. http://192.168.1.1). The gateway address and login details can be found on the barcode sticker.
Modems may have a login username and password, or just a password. - Make sure your modem has the following settings. If you’re not sure how to do this, check the manufacturer’s website for a guide.
Mode/Modulation: WAN
Connection Type: PPPoE
VLAN: On or enabled
VLAN Tagging: On or enabled
VLAN ID: 2
- You’ll need to enter your iiNet username and password for the PPPoE connection. Your username is in emails from us about your iiNet order, and on your iiNet invoice.
If you forgot your password, you can reset it. - Save your settings and wait 5-10 minutes for your modem to connect.
- You should now be online. If you can’t view a website or notice a red or unlit Internet light on your modem, call us on 13 22 58 for help.
We’re fully trained on iiNet modems, but please note that there may be limited support for your BYO modem.
Check the manufacturer's website for a setup guide on how to plug in and enter the iiNet Broadband Settings.
