Restarting Your NBN Connection Box

The NBN box acts as a bridge between your modem and the rest of the NBN technology, with your modem connecting directly to the box.

Sometimes restarting your NBN modem alone might not be enough, in which case you might need to restart the NBN connection box itself. To do this, you have to:

1. Switch off the connection box or battery backup unit (usually on a wall somewhere on your premise)
2. If you have a backup battery unit, then disconnect the power cord that connects to the NBN connection box. In case your NBN connection box has a cover, then you’ll need to remove that first
3. Wait at least 2 minutes before plugging the battery unit back in and turning your devices back on.
