For FTTP connections:
Connect the ethernet cable (the one with the blue ends) into the blue WAN port of your Kogan Internet Modem and the other end into the first UNI-D port on your NTD which nbn™ have installed. This port can be found on the bottom of the NTD.

3. Setting up your Wi-Fi
Connect your compatible Wi-Fi devices to the Wi-Fi network name (the SSID) using the wireless key (Wi-Fi password) from the label underneath your Kogan Internet Modem.
You may also choose to change the default Wi-Fi network name and the wireless key to make them easier to remember. You can do this through the Kogan Internet Modem dashboard.
Advanced Settings
Your Kogan Internet Modem also comes with a dashboard which allows you to change your network name and wireless key (password) details, and manage advanced internet and Wi-Fi settings.
Once connected to your Kogan Internet Modem, you can access the dashboard by heading to http://tplinkmodem.net and using the login details from the label underneath your modem.
