The most obvious place to ask about this is the ISP.
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
and
Search - NETGEAR Communities – FTTC NBN
You can try narrowing that down by plugging the name of your ISP into the search. Some ISPs have especially exotic configurations.
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.
Unfortunately, FFTC is another label that Australia uses in different ways from other countries. (Curb there, cabinet here.) So, while it may be obvious to you what this "box on the wall" does, the rest of us are in the dark.
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.
Is the Model: A7000|Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter - USB 3.0 listed in your footer involved in this in anyway? Or did you just click the first thing that popped up when you wrote your message?
