BYO Modem – TP-Link VR400 v2 – Fibre to the Node/Building Setup

STEP 1 – Find the Phone Socket

There are 2 types of Phone socket

• Normal Phone Socket
• Older Style Phone socket (Sometimes may need to buy a “Modular Telephone Adaptor Plug” if its missing)

Please note, FTTN/B does not require any filter.

STEP 2 – Connect the Modem to the Telephone Socket

One end of the phone cable goes to the telephone socket on the wall and other end goes to the DSL port (grey) of the modem. 

Please note, it is recommended to use normal 1m long cable, longer cable can cause problems.
