Most Wi-Fi 6 modems can support Wi-Fi speeds of up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps), and at least that speed via Ethernet. Some modems even offer Ethernet ports capable of 2.5Gbps or higher. However, your actual speeds can vary depending on several factors, including your internet plan, your modem's capability, and overall internet traffic. Your internet plan’s Typical Evening Speed will give you a realistic estimate of the speeds you'll experience.
Your choice of modem and how you set it up in your home could stop you from getting the maximum speed of your internet plan. If you choose to bring your own (BYO) modem instead of using an iiNet-supplied modem, it must meet certain technical requirements for optimal performance on our NBN500, nbn Superfast & nbn Ultrafast plans.

- High speed nbnⓇ modem requirements
- Compatible modems on our high speed nbnⓇ plans
- Modems that may not work on our high speed nbnⓇ plans
High speed nbnⓇ modem requirements
Your modem must support or feature:
- PPPoE connection types
- Gigabit Ethernet ports
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) or later
- VLAN tagging (if you have nbn Phone or your plan was activated before 1 March 2023)
We also recommend:
- Using a modem that features Band Steering so devices will automatically switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi for the best performance and connection stability.
- Connecting your devices via Ethernet Cable (CAT5e or higher) instead of Wi-Fi.
- Getting a Mesh network for better Wi-Fi signal in a large property.
Important: If you choose to use an older modem that doesn't have Gigabit Ethernet ports or Wi-Fi 6, your connection may be slower. We recommend connecting devices by Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi to get the best possible experience.
Compatible modems on our high speed nbnⓇ plans
All modems listed here can achieve the maximum speed of our NBN500, nbn Superfast and nbn Ultrafast plans , which are delivered over nbn FTTP and nbn HFC.
If your modem isn't listed here, please contact the manufacturer for more info.
