Optimise Your NBN Experience with Master Cabling

Is your NBN NTD box placed in an inconvenient or unattractive spot? Are you dealing with sluggish Wi-Fi in areas far from your NTD box? These are common issues, but Master Cabling is here to resolve them.

We understand that having your NBN box in a poorly chosen location can lead to a host of frustrations: unsightly cables cluttering your living space, weak Wi-Fi signals in crucial areas of your home, and even potential safety hazards if the box is installed in high-traffic areas. Additionally, improper placement can cause your internet connection to be unreliable, affecting everything from video calls to streaming services.

Don’t let these issues disrupt your daily life. Master Cabling specialises in providing tailored solutions to ensure your NBN setup is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Let us help you optimise your home network for the best possible performance and convenience.

Why You Should Consider Relocating Your NBN Box

If you’re reading this, you’re likely contemplating moving your NBN box. Here are some reasons why relocating might be necessary:

Inadequate Ventilation: Avoid enclosed spaces like cupboards.
Extreme Temperatures: Avoid locations where temperatures frequently drop below 10°C or exceed 40°C, such as attics, walls, or floors.
Damp Areas: Avoid placing it in bathrooms or laundries.
High Traffic Zones: Avoid areas where the box can be easily knocked, like busy hallways.
Heat Exposure: Avoid spots near heaters to prevent overheating.

Despite NBN’s guidelines, boxes can sometimes be installed in unsuitable places. Clients often request relocations due to aesthetic concerns or inappropriate installations, such as in bedrooms.

Steps for Relocating Your NBN Box

Assessing the Current Location: Identify if the current location is causing issues such as poor ventilation, extreme temperatures, dampness, or physical damage risks.
Selecting a New Spot: Choose a new location that avoids the aforementioned issues. Our experienced technicians can help you select the best spot if you’re unsure.
Evaluating the Chosen Location: Have a licensed technician evaluate the new location to ensure it can accommodate the necessary internal wiring connections (phone and data).
Re-routing the Cabling: The technician will reroute the copper and fibre connections from the PCD (outside connection) to the NTD at the new location. New coax or fibre connections may be installed if necessary, depending on the distance and other factors.
Verifying Operational Status: Check for stable or flashing green STATUS and POWER lights on the NBN box to ensure it’s operating correctly.
Final Testing: Conduct thorough testing to ensure phone and internet services are fully functional. This includes professional-grade internet speed tests and checking landline phone functionality.

Improving Your NBN Modem Placement

Relocating your NBN box isn’t the only solution to enhance your internet speed. Running high-speed Cat6 cabling from the NTD to an optimal modem/router location can significantly boost performance. Consider moving your modem if you want:

Enhanced Wi-Fi signal strength and speed from a more central location.
Direct connections for devices like TVs and gaming consoles for consistent speeds.
Wired connections for offices, providing faster speeds than Wi-Fi.
