This page explains how to set up the DN8245 modem for Fibre and HFC services.

Where should I place my DN8245?

To get the best performance, it's recommended you place your DN8245 in a ventilated place away from heat sources. To maximise the Wi-Fi coverage, we suggest putting it in a vertical position, clear of obstacles and as high as possible. Don't put it away out of sight (e.g. in a cupboard).

Steps

1. Plug the power supply (included in the box) into a power socket and connect the other end to the DN8245.
   
   • Turn it on by pressing the (ON/OFF) button on the side panel.
     The power light on the modem will turn green. Make sure that the Fibre/HFC Box (e.g. the Chorus ONT) is also on
2. Connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the DN8245 and port 1 of your Fibre/HFC Box.
   The Internet light on the modem will turn green once the internet is online. 
3. If a landline was purchased as well plug it into the Phone 1 socket on the modem

4. Connect devices to the modem
