NBN Ready? - R8000|Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Smart WIFI Router

[justkiah]

Hey just want to know if this router is NBN ready, they type of NBN (National Broadband Network) i have is FTTC (Fiber to the Curb)
I already have my nbn modem it's a simple LAN cable you plug into the router to receive the internet however when i do this and try to use the smart installation it doesn't pick up any internet. I am 100% certain that there is a working connection on the line as when i plug in a cheaper stock iiNet router it receives the internet no problem. Currently i am piggy backing the Nighthawk off the iiNet Router via a LAN cable.

Any one able to help out?

Have you tried mac cloning?

yes it works!

Took me a while to find all the parameters, I'm with iinet and FTTC

- in internet set up, configure PPOE and your logins from your ISP, everything else in default

+ mac spoofing if needed (plug the default modem router from your ISP, go to the Ewan settings and copy the MAC adress from the machine to your netgear MAC adress)

- In Advanced set up, go to VLAN/IPTV and enable VLAN with an ID at 2

Hi, did you connect the network cable directly from nbn fttc unit to r8000 internet port?

[kholeen]

Yes,

It works with a direct cable to the internet port or even through a powerline adapter.
Mac spoofing was not necessary after all, it works without with iinet.

Thank you. It worked. Cheers.

hi, which port did you select?  I can't see internet port as an option.  Thanks
