It depends! For Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) connections, your wall-mounted NBN Network Termination Device (NTD) will have 4 'UNI-D' ports numbered 1 to 4 on its underside. When your Buddy Telco service is activated, you'll need to plug your router into the correct port to connect. We'll tell you which port to connect to in an SMS once your NBN order is complete. It may be the same port you're already connected to, or a different one.
It's important you don't plug into Buddy's NBN port before you're told your service is active — you don't want to be without internet while waiting for us to connect!
To connect your router to your NBN NTD:
- Unclip the plastic case covering the NTD, with the 'UNI-D' ports located on the underside of the device.
- Plug an ethernet cable into your correctly numbered 'UNI-D' port on the NTD.Note: Make sure you plug into a 'UNI-D' port, not one of the 'UNI-V' ports!
- On your router, insert the other end of the ethernet cable into the port labelled 'WAN'. Check all plugs are secure, and power on both devices.
