Modem Setup with Swoop
In most cases, your modem should automatically get configured with Swoop, because to make it easier for our customers we support both IPoE (Dynamic) and Flexible PPPoE connection for NBN services. As long as your modem is in either of those modes, it should just work (regardless of PPPoE username and password stored in your modem).

However, if automatic setup didn’t not work you, please follow below modem setup instructions.

STEP 1 – Connect to your modem to NBN Connection Box

You will need an Ethernet cable (RJ-45). One end of the cable goes to the NBN Box and other end goes to the WAN port (RED) on the Telstra modem. 

Please note:

  • You will need an Ethernet cable which is CAT-5E or above for connection over 100 Mbps
  • Your NBN connection box may have more than one data port depending on the technology available at your location, you will need to use the provisioned port. Please refer to your activation email if this applies to you.

STEP 2 – Connect a device to your modem

Ensure the modem is connected to a device such as laptop, tablet, or phone etc. via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Default Wi-Fi password is located on your modem sticker.

STEP 3 – Login to your modem

Now open any browser (Chrome, Edge or Safari) and type 192.168.0.1 or http://mygateway/ and press enter. 

Now you’ll be greeted with login screen, default username is admin, and the password is the same as the Wi-Fi password found on your modem + fridge magnet. 

STEP 4 – Setting up Connection

Swoop supports both IPoE and PPPoE authentication for all NBN services
