How do I know if I have nbn Fixed Wireless?

Fixed Wireless is usually the easiest one to spot, because it normally includes an outdoor antenna on the roof or outside wall of your home.

What to look for:

  • A panel-style antenna outside your home
  • An nbn connection box inside
  • A wall outlet and power outlet near that inside box
  • Your router connected inside the home

In simple terms:

  • Outside antenna
  • Then inside nbn connection box
  • Then your router

If you live in a more regional area and can see an antenna mounted outside your home, that’s a strong sign you may have Fixed Wireless.

Fixed Wireless does not normally use a phone wall socket like FTTN or FTTB, and it does not use a cable wall outlet like HFC.

💡 Tip: If you can see a proper antenna outside your home, you’re very unlikely to be on FTTP, FTTN, FTTB, FTTC or HFC. That usually points to Fixed Wireless.
