Which flavour of NBN?

 

Getting stuff to work on NBN can be a nightmare. The good news is that a lot of people have already grappled with the challenge. So there's a lot of past experience that you can draw on. For example:

 

Search - NETGEAR Communities – D6300 NBN

 

You can try narrowing that down by plugging the name of your ISP into the search. Some ISPs have especially exotic configurations.

 

Search - NETGEAR Communities – Telstra NBN

 

The problem is that NBN comes in many flavours, effectively it just means "Australian Internet".

 

What is an NBN network and is my NETGEAR DSL modem router compatible? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

 

Start by checking for your type of NBN.

 

While Netgear lists all manner of things as being "compatible" with NBN in that article, in reality this often means that the device will work as a router. You have to bypass the modem bit and use something else as a modem. Sometimes it is just the NBN box that your ISP installed.

 

Here's a good place to start looking for local expertise:

 

“NBN” - Whirlpool Forums

 

Good luck, you may need it.
