Please follow the steps below to set up your Netgear Nighthawk RAX50.
Before you install your router, attach the antennas to the router.
Note: Make sure to match the labels on the antennas with the labels on the router. The antennas must be attached to the correct antenna ports on the router. After you are done attaching the antennas, follow the steps below to connect your service.
- Ensure your nbn Connection Box is turned on.
- Plug an Ethernet cable from the UNI-D1 port on your nbn Connection Box into the yellow Internet port on your Nighthawk.
Note: if UNI-D1 doesn't work, try each UNI-D port. - Plug in the power cable and turn your Nighthawk on using the Power On-Off button.
- Connect your computer or any device to your modem by plugging an Ethernet cable from the device to one of the LAN ports, or you can connect your device via Wi-Fi.
- Go to http://192.168.1.1 or to http://www.routerlogin.com in your browser.
- Log in with your Netgear username and password. By default these are:
Username: admin
Password: password - On the home screen, click BASIC.
- Click Internet.
- In Does your Internet connection require a login? section, select the Yes radio button.
- From the Internet Service Provider menu, select the encapsulation method PPPoE.
- Enter your iiNet username and password.
- From the Connection Mode menu, select Always On.
- To change the number of minutes until the Internet login times out, in the Idle Timeout (In minutes) field, type the number of minutes. This is how long the router keeps the Internet connection active when no one on the network is using the Internet connection. A value of 0 (zero) means never log out.
- Select an Internet IP Address radio button: Get Dynamically from ISP
- Select a Domain Name Server (DNS) Address radio button:
- Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically assigns this address.
- Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.
- Select a Router MAC Address radio button:
- Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
- Use Computer MAC Address. The router captures and uses the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must use the one computer that the ISP allows.
- Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
- Click Apply to save the settings.
- If your nbn plan was activated before 1 March 2023 or you have nbn Phone included in your service, more settings are needed:
- Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN/Bridge Settings and tick the Enable VLAN/Bridge Setup check box.
- Select the By VLAN tag group button and then click the Add button. The Add VLAN Rule page displays.
- Enter a name for the VLAN tag group (e.g. iiNet). The name can be up to 10 characters.
- Set VLAN ID to 2 and Priority to 0. - Click the Test button to test your Internet connection.
You should now be online. If you're still having issues, please see Improving WiFi Signal or call us on 13 22 58 for further assistance.
Here’s how you can set up a compatible bring-your-own (BYO) modem for iiNet nbn Wireless.

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.
The default WiFi name (SSID) and password can be found on your modem’s barcode sticker.
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.- 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.

How someone can steal your number
If a criminal has your personal information, they can steal your mobile number in a couple of ways:
- An unauthorised port - the criminal contacts a new telco and pretends to be you, sets up an account and ports your number.
- A SIM swap - the criminal contacts your current telco pretending to be you and requests a new SIM that has your number.
Once a criminal has your number, they can receive SMS verification codes. This means they can get access to services such as your bank, email and social media.
How we can help
If someone ported your number without your consent, we can reverse the port.
If someone made a SIM swap without your consent, we can deactivate the SIM and provide you a new one.
Before a mobile number is ported, iiNet carries out additional validation checks to ensure the port is authorised. We send a unique verification code via SMS to the affected mobile number. This verification code is required to authorise a porting request, which helps to protect our customers from having their mobile numbers stolen.
