How do I reconfigure modem after changing from ADSL to NBN
My modem was set up to use with ADSL but I've now got connected to the NBN so need to change the settings. How do I do this?

What sort of NBN?
What is an NBN network and is my NETGEAR DSL modem router compatible? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
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.
It is a pity that Netgear does not make that clearer in its advice to NBN users. It might prevent people from wasting money on an incompatible modem router. They would be better off buying a simple router and using whatever modem their ISP provides, or buying one suitable for their Internet service.
