This guide will walk you through the steps to configure your TP-Link VR1600v modem for Ethernet-based internet connections, including NBN Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Curb (FTTC), Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC), and Fixed Wireless (FW) services.
Connect Your Modem
Connect the ethernet cable from the from the nbn outlet to the WAN port on the back of the modem.
Connect the modem to power and turn it on.
Connect your computer to the modem either through the LAN network cable or via WiFi. (The default Wi-Fi password can be found on the the base of your modem.)
Configuring Your Modem
To access the modems web interface, open a browser and enter http://192.168.1.1/ or https://192.168.0.1/ into the address bar. We recommend using a desktop computer as the modem’s web interface isn’t designed for mobile.
Log into the admin interface. The default username is admin and the default password is admin. These can be found on the bottom of your modem.
Navigate to the Advanced tab from the top of the page.
Then select Network from the left hand side.
And finally select EWAN to enter the Internet Setup page.
The field “Internet Connection Type” should be set to the value “Dynamic IP“.
This section applies to NBN FTTN (Fibre to the Node) and FTTB (Fibre to the Basement) connection types.
Plug in the power adaptor and power on the device.
Use the supplied ethernet cable to connect a computer to one of the yellow LAN ports. You can also connect wirelessly, however, we recommend an ethernet connection.
Connect your NBN service to the grey DSL port on the back of your TP-Link.
Using a web browser navigate to http://192.168.1.1, and log in with the username admin and the password admin. (If the default login doesn’t work you may need to factory reset your device).
Select the Advanced tab.
Select the Network tab.
Select DSL from the menu.
Delete any pre-existing connections and then click Add.
From the `DSL Modulation Type` menu, select VDSL.
Disabled VLAN ID Leave unticked
From the `Internet Connection Type` menu, select IPoE or Dynamic IP
Leave all other settings as their defaults, and you’re done! Hit Save and you should be online.
