Connecting to Broadband
When your router is installed, you'll need to configure it.
Open your web browser and you'll see a setup page asking for your Broadband Username and Password.
If you're not sure what these are, you can find your Broadband Username under Connection Settings in the Member Centre.
The Password is the one that you use to log in to this website.
Type them in and click Connect. After a few moments you'll be connected to Broadband - that's it!
Troubleshooting
Resetting your router
If you have any problems with your router, you can return everything to the default settings by using the reset button.

Keep the button pressed in for at least 7 seconds. When the power light goes red, release the button and wait until the power light turns green again.
