1. PHYSICAL CONNECTION

Please refer to the Quick Installation Guide that came with your router.

PLEASE NOTE: Have your router powered on and connected directly to your

PC via Ethernet Cable before you begin, as these instructions are based on

wired Ethernet connection

2. NETWORK CONFIGURATION

PPPoE connection does not require you to have an IP address or DNS

settings manually encoded on your network card.

PPPoE connection uses authentication to establish the Internet

connection and its after doing this that your router is assigned an

IP and DNS settings from TPG.

To begin, your PC needs to receive a private IP address from the

router. Most NBN routers have DHCP enabled by default that

will take care of this.

To ensure your Network Card is ready for this, please follow the

following steps:

A. Click Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet ->

Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings

B. Right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties
