How to setup your NetComm NF10WV modem for nbn

step 1 - connect to your modem via Wi-Fi or Ethernet

This guide covers the configuration of the NetComm NF10WV for nbn connection types Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC), Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) and Fixed Wireless.

To set up the NetComm NF10WV for nbn Fibre to the Node (FTTN) or Fibre to the Building (FTTB), refer to our FTTN/B setup guide for the NetComm NF10WV.


Ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on the device you are using to access your modem (e.g. computer/laptop/smartphone/tablet). If you are using a smartphone or tablet, you should turn off your mobile data connectivity or any hotspot connection during this process.

Connect to the Wi-Fi/Wireless network of the NetComm NF10WV modem on your computer/laptop/smartphone/tablet. To connect to the Wi-Fi network of the NetComm NF10WV modem, locate the Wi-Fi network name being broadcast by the modem from your device (e.g. computer/laptop), select this network, then enter the password for this network when prompted.

If you are unsure of the Wi-Fi password, this will be printed on the sticker on the back of the NetComm NF10WV modem, underneath the barcodes.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE A WORKING INTERNET CONNECTION TO CONNECT TO THE WI-FI OF THE NETCOMM NF10WV MODEM OR ACCESS THE MODEM GATEWAY PAGE.

Alternatively, you can plug in an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from your computer or laptop to one of the four (4) yellow Eth ports on the back of the NetComm NF10WV modem.

step 2 - log into your modem

Open your web browser (e.g. Google Chrome/Internet Explorer/Mozilla Firefox/Microsoft Edge), enter 192.168.20.1 into the address bar and press Enter.

If successful, a login box or window should appear asking for a username and password. Enter admin for the username and admin for the password.

If this doesn’t work, the password will be printed on the sticker on the back of the NetComm NF10WV modem. Enter this password.

Press ‘Finish

step 4 - plug your modem into the nbn™ device

You now need to plug your NetComm NF10WV modem into your nbn™ device using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.

One end of the Ethernet cable needs to be plugged into the blue WAN port on the back of your modem and the other end into the active port on your nbn™ device – this will either be a numbered UNI-D port (such as UNI-D 1, UNI-D 2 etc.) or a GATEWAY port.

If you are unsure which port to plug into on your nbn™ device, please refer to your MATE activation email and SMS which specifies the correct port.

If you have configured and plugged in your modem correctly, both the WAN and Internet lights on the front of your modem should turn solid green. This may take up to five (5) minutes.

If the WAN and Internet lights do not turn solid after five (5) minutes, please contact our support team for further troubleshooting.
