this may affect the signal performance of 
the Outdoor Antenna. Before starting any 
renovation work you may need to have 
the Outdoor Antenna moved to a more 
suitable physical position. Your service 
provider can arrange this.

If the renovation is internal to the 
premises, and is affecting internal walls 
– then care needs to be taken not to 
re-route the cable that connects the NBN 
connection box to your Outdoor Antenna.

If in doubt, contact your service provider 
for advice.

I have a monitored home or 

premises security system, will it 

work over the NBN?

If you would like to use an existing 
system, you should check with your 
security system provider to ensure that 
your particular equipment and service is 
NBN-compatible, and check with your 
service provider that they can support 
this function with your connection.

Can I run everything on a 

wireless network within my 

premises? 

Yes, it is possible to run most services 
over a Wi-Fi network within premises 
but should you find Wi-Fi limiting for 
any reason there are other options. 
For instance, powerline networking 
adapters can make a home network by 
using existing electricity wiring in your 

house. These plug directly into home 
powerpoints and use existing in-home 
electrical wiring for data networking, 
avoiding the need to install new cables. 
For more information search “powerline 
network adaptor” through your internet 
browser.

Do I need to install any cables 

and outlets? 

It is possible to run most services over 
a Wi-Fi network, but you may prefer to 
have cabled connections for data and/
or phone outlets. You can arrange for 
a cable installer to install points now or 
you can wait until you and the installer 
have agreed on the location of your NBN 
connection box. You can arrange to have 
as many internal home network points  
as you like.

The cable installer you choose to 
undertake this work must be registered 
with an Australian Communications 
and Media Authority (ACMA) accredited 
industry registrar. 

Who do I contact for 

assistance?

Your service provider will help you if  
you have any questions or need to  
report a fault.
