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 the Modem to the NBN Box

Connect the modem to the NBN Connection box via Ethernet cable.

One end of the cable goes to the NBN Box and other end goes to the WAN port of the modem. 

Please note, if you have 100 Mbps or more connection, you will need CAT5E or above Ethernet cable.

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 192.168.1.1 and press enter. 

Now you’ll be greeted with login screen, there is no default password, as password is part of first-time setup. If you do not remember your password, please factory reset your modem.

STEP 4 – Setting up Connection

Click on the Advanced and then Operation Mode to ensure you are in “Wireless Router Mode

If you are in some other mode, please select “Wireless Router Mode” and click save. Mode will be changed after the modem restart.

Then click on Basic and Internet (Do not enable VLAN)

Swoop supports both IPoE and PPPoE authentication for all NBN services 🙂
