This is the NBN connection box \u2014 officially called a Network Termination Device, or NTD. Here&#8217;s what it does, what the lights mean, and what to do if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ozbroadbandreview.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/what-is-nbn-connection-box.png\" alt=\"NBN connection box (NTD) mounted on wall in Australian home\" \/><figcaption>The NBN connection box (NTD) is the gateway between the NBN network and your home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What is the NBN connection box?<\/h2>\n<p>The NBN connection box (NTD) is the piece of equipment that connects your home to the NBN network. It&#8217;s owned by NBN Co \u2014 not by you or your internet provider. You&#8217;re not allowed to remove, modify, or throw it away when you move house. Think of it as the point where NBN infrastructure ends and your home network begins. Your modem or router plugs into the NTD.<\/p>\n<p>Not every connection type has an NTD in the same form:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>FTTP<\/strong> \u2014 NTD (or ONT) mounted internally, usually near your meter box or on an interior wall<\/li>\n<li><strong>FTTC<\/strong> \u2014 small Connection Device mounted internally, plus a DPU in the pit outside<\/li>\n<li><strong>FTTN<\/strong> \u2014 no NTD. Your modem plugs directly into the phone socket<\/li>\n<li><strong>HFC<\/strong> \u2014 NTD mounted near a coaxial cable outlet<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fixed Wireless<\/strong> \u2014 external antenna on roof, internal NTD<\/li>\n<li><strong>Satellite<\/strong> \u2014 dish outside, NTD inside<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can read more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozbroadbandreview.com\/blog\/different-types-of-nbn-internet-connections\/\">different NBN connection types here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What do the lights on the NBN box mean?<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Light<\/th>\n<th>Solid green<\/th>\n<th>Flashing green<\/th>\n<th>Red or off<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>Box is on<\/td>\n<td>Starting up<\/td>\n<td>No power \u2014 check the cable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optical \/ PON<\/td>\n<td>Connected to NBN<\/td>\n<td>Trying to connect<\/td>\n<td>No signal \u2014 likely outage or line fault<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>UNI-D port<\/td>\n<td>Modem connected<\/td>\n<td>Data transferring<\/td>\n<td>Nothing connected<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alarm<\/td>\n<td>No fault<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>Fault \u2014 contact your provider<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Where is the NBN box installed?<\/h2>\n<p>The NBN technician picks the installation location, but you can request a preferred spot. Common places are near the front of the house, in a hallway, or near the power meter. The NTD needs a nearby power point and ideally should be close to where you want your modem\/router. If the location isn&#8217;t working for you, contact your provider \u2014 relocating it may involve a fee depending on the cabling required.<\/p>\n<h2>Should you turn off the NBN box?<\/h2>\n<p>In general, leave the NTD powered on continuously. Unlike your modem\/router, it maintains a persistent connection to the NBN network. That said, if you&#8217;re troubleshooting an internet outage, unplugging it for 30 seconds and waiting for the lights to stabilise is a valid step. Just don&#8217;t make a habit of it.<\/p>\n<h2>What if the NBN box is faulty?<\/h2>\n<p>The NTD is NBN Co&#8217;s equipment, so if it develops a fault, NBN Co is responsible for replacing it. Call your internet provider (not NBN Co directly) to log the fault \u2014 they&#8217;ll coordinate the repair. Don&#8217;t try to fix or open the NTD yourself. If you accidentally damage it, there may be a charge.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you keep the NBN box when you move?<\/h2>\n<p>No. The NTD belongs to NBN Co and stays at the property. The next occupant&#8217;s internet provider will use the same box \u2014 NBN Co doesn&#8217;t remove and reinstall it between residents.<\/p>\n<h2>Difference between the NBN box and your modem\/router<\/h2>\n<p>The NTD is fixed NBN infrastructure \u2014 you don&#8217;t own it and can&#8217;t choose it. Your modem\/router is your personal equipment that creates your home Wi-Fi network. Your router plugs into the UNI-D 1 port on the NTD. If you upgrade your router, just unplug the old one and plug in the new one \u2014 the NTD doesn&#8217;t need to be touched.<\/p>\n<h2>Troubleshooting when your NBN stops working<\/h2>\n<p>First check the NTD lights. If the PON\/optical light is red or off, the fault is between the NTD and NBN network \u2014 contact your provider. If those lights look normal but you still have no internet, the issue is with your modem\/router or your provider&#8217;s service. Try rebooting your modem first. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozbroadbandreview.com\/blog\/fix-internet-connection\/\">full NBN troubleshooting guide<\/a> covers the whole process step by step.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is the NBN connection box the same as a modem?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The NBN connection box (NTD) connects your home to the NBN network \u2014 it&#8217;s infrastructure. A modem\/router is your personal device that connects to the NTD and creates your home Wi-Fi. You need both.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use any modem with the NBN connection box?<\/h3>\n<p>Most modern modems and routers are compatible with NBN. Just plug the WAN port of your router into the UNI-D 1 port on the NTD with an Ethernet cable. For FTTC, you&#8217;ll need a modem that supports VDSL2, which most NBN-compatible modems do.<\/p>\n<h3>Who do I contact if the NBN box is broken?<\/h3>\n<p>Contact your internet provider \u2014 not NBN Co directly. Your provider will lodge the fault with NBN Co and arrange a technician visit if needed.<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re thinking about your internet setup, it&#8217;s worth checking whether you&#8217;re on the best plan available.
