How to set up FRITZ!Box 7490 for nbn FTTB/N

You’ll need to plug in your modem and change some settings to get it working with TPG nbn FTTB/N.

  1. First, make sure you’ve got a message from us asking you to plug in your nbn modem. We need to get your connection ready on our side before you plug in.
  2. Find your phone wall socket – you probably already have a modem plugged in from your last internet service. Unplug any old modem from the phone wall socket and power outlet.
  3. Use the phone cable to connect your modem’s grey DSL/TEL port to your phone wall socket.
  4. Use the power cable to connect your modem’s Power port to a power outlet and turn it on.

  5. To connect devices to the WiFi, you’ll find the default WiFi name and password on your modem’s barcode sticker.
  6. If you have extra Ethernet cables, you can connect up to 4 devices to your modem’s yellow LAN ports.
