Broadband Config
Before you begin:
- This guide aims to assist you with configuring your own Router to work with your NorthTel internet connection.
- Whilst we are very familiar with our own NorthTel supplied Routers, our ability to support 3rd party Routers is limited and on a best efforts basis.
- You can review our router compatibility guide here: Third Party BYO Modem Requirements.
- You'll need your NorthTel username and password which can be obtained from our technical support team.
- You'll need your broadband connection to be fully provisioned and working*.
- You will need to be connected to your router's WiFi or (recommended) have a computer with an Ethernet cable plugged into one of the “LAN” ports on the back of the router.
