NBN Fixed Wireless Setup

NBN Fixed Wireless Setup

STEP 1 - Locate the nbn™ Fixed Wireless Network Termination Device (WNTD)

Find the indoor nbn™ Fixed Wireless Network Termination Device (WNTD) in your premises. The location of this device may vary depending on installation circumstances. Ensure you check your entire premises for the WNTD including any unusual places that you may not expect.


STEP 2 - Connect your modem/router/firewall

You will need to plug your modem/router into your nbn™ Fixed Wireless Network Termination Device (WNTD) to connect your Internet service.

First, ensure that the included power cable from the power port on the back of the Fixed Wireless Network Termination Device (WNTD) is plugged in and secure. Plug the other end of the power cable into a power wall outlet in your home and switch the power point on.

After a few minutes, you should notice the POWER, STATUS and ODU lights on the front of the WNTD turn solid green. You should also then have at least one SIGNAL STRENGTH light on (this will usually be flashing). If the STATUS or ODU lights on your nbn™ Fixed Wireless WNTD remain red or are off, please contact our support team for further troubleshooting. Now, take your modem/router’s power supply cable and use it to connect your modem/router’s power port to an electrical outlet. Switch the power point on. 

Take your Ethernet cable and plug one end into the required yellow port marked UNI-D on the back of the nbn™ Fixed Wireless Network Termination Device (WNTD). The active UNI-D port would have been advised to you by the Service Delivery team once the service is handed over - in many cases this is usually UNI-D1 but may be another number. Plug the other end of this Ethernet cable into the WAN port on your modem/router. This may also be labelled as INTERNET, FttX or WAN/LAN. The Ethernet cable is larger than a telephone cable. DO NOT use a telephone cable to plug in your modem/router to the nbn™ Fixed Wireless Network Termination Device (WNTD).

(Note : If Summit has supplied you a router/firewall, it will come pre-configured, If this is so, you can skip this step)
When the service is handed over by Summit (you are advised it is ready for use), you will receive a username and password for the service. This username and password is unique for this service location.
Log into your router/firewall and enter the username and password. Consult your router/firewall manual for instructions on how to enter this information/configure your router/firewall.
Once configured, allow a few minutes for the router/firewall to connect and log in.
Once it has connected and logged in, your nbn™ Fixed Wireless Connection is ready for use!
