instructions are based on wired Ethernet connection

For further information, please see wiring diagram and instructions for your NBN connection type below

•  

NBN Fixed Wireless

2. NETWORK CONFIGURATION 

PPPoE connection does not require you to have an IP address or DNS settings manually encoded on your network card. 
PPPoE connection uses authentication to establish the Internet connection and once connected your modem will be 
assigned an IP and DNS settings from TPG.

To begin, your PC needs to receive a private IP address from the modem. Most modems have DHCP enabled by default 
that will take care of this.
