Setting up your service

Introduction

Welcome to your new Internet service with Activ8me!
In this manual we will be going through the basics of setting up your Internet
service, such as connecting to your service type, connecting the router to a PC,
and how to log into the router to change the password

Set up your connection

The steps below will guide you through connecting your router to each of the
different internet services offered by Activ8me. Depending on your internet
connection type, the setup steps are a bit different so please make sure you use
the appropriate guide.

NBN Fibre

Once NBN Co has connected your household’s fibre service you will need to
locate the Network Termination Device (NTD) within your home. The NTD looks
like this:

After locating the NTD, connect it to the router by plugging a blue network cable
into the ‘UNI-D 1’ port as shown below. If ‘UNI-D 1’ already has a cable connected,
please contact customer service on
13 22 88 to find an alternate port.
Now the cable is connected to the NTD, locate the port labeled “WAN” on your
router and plug the other end of the network cable into it.

NBN Fixed Wireless

After your household has been connected to NBN’s Fixed Wireless Service locate
the Network Termination Device in your household. The NTD will look like this:

After locating the NTD in your home, connect it to your router by plugging a blue
network cable into the “UNI-D 1” port as shown below. If “UNI-D 1” already has a
cable connected, please contact customer service on 13 22 88 to find an alternate
port.
Now that the Ethernet cable is connected to the NTD, locate the port labeled
“WAN” on your router and plug the network cable into it.
