| 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. |
1. Ensure your NBN box have an uplink
You can confirm this by checking the 4 lights status on your NBN Box. All 4 lights must be green.
If the light on NBN box (NTD) is not correct, please contact Swoop on 1300 66 55 75 for further assistance.
2. Connecting your modem
Connect your modem using an Ethernet cable to the UNI-D1 port of your NBN box.
One end of the Ethernet cable goes to the WAN or Internet port on your modem and other end goes to the provisioned UNI-D port on your NBN box (see picture below for reference)
Please note: If your NBN plan is more than 100 Mbps of speed, you will need CAT5E or above Ethernet cable
3. Connecting your Device to the Modem
You can use any device for modem setup such as Laptop, tablet etc. Just ensure you are connected to your modem via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. Usually modem default Wi-Fi password is located on the modem sticker.
4. Open Modem Setup Page and Login
Open any browser (Chrome, Edge or Safari) on the you connected with your modem and type your modem default IP and press enter. Modem default IP depends on make and model of the device. You can find the default IP on the modem sticker or by doing a quick google search.
Once you are on a login screen, sign in using your modem username/password.
Login details are usually located on the modem stickers in most cases, or you can also do google search to find the default credentials. Please note, if customer have set a custom password, they need to enter that. If customer do not remember it, we can factory reset the modem and then login via default credentials.
5. Setting up Connection
Now to setup the modem, go to the internet settings of your modem (location may vary depending on the modem brand) and ensure you are setting up Ethernet or EWAN Connection (see your modem setup guide for detail)
Swoop supports both IPoE and PPPoE authentications for all NBN services 🙂
