To change your WiFi password to something that is memorable for you, follow the instructions below.

Log into the modem

You can do this via WiFi (SSID: D-Link DVA-2800) or by connecting the yellow ethernet cable from the yellow LAN port on the modem to connect to your computer.

1. Open a web browser (such as Chrome or Internet Explorer), and type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
2. When asked for the password, write ‘admin’ as a default

NOTE: If this is your first time logging in to your modem, the set up wizard may appear (See image below). It is IMPORTANT to click cancel. This will return you to the main screen where you can change your password and restore your factory defaults.

3. From the top menu, click ‘Settings’ then select ‘Wireless’

4. Once you are in the wireless screen, you can type your own password into the password box. You can also change the name of your WiFi connection as well.
5. When finished, select ‘save’ from the top right hand menu

You can now use your new WiFi password instead of the default one.

To do a factory reset on your modem, follow the steps below.

Log into the modem

You can do this via WiFi (SSID: D-Link DVA-2800) or by connecting the yellow ethernet cable from the yellow LAN port on the modem to connect to your computer.

1. Open a web browser (such as Chrome or Internet Explorer), and type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
2. When asked for the password, write ‘admin’ as a default

3. From the top right hand menu select ‘Management' then from the drop down click 'System Admin'

4. When you are in the System Admin Screen, you will then need to click ‘System’ from the top right hand corner.

5. Once in the System screen, you will then see Restore to Factory Default Settings, click ‘Restore’ next to this and click ‘OK’

This will reset the Router to Factory settings.

The internet light on the router will turn Red for 10 Seconds, before turning Green.

Please make sure that if you have to log into the Router again, click 'CANCEL' if prompted with Welcome Wizard. The Modem should already be configured after Factory Reset.

If you have the Dlink DVA-2800 modem, which is provided by us, please follow the steps below.

Please note: We are unable to provide support for modems that are not supplied by us.

1. Open your internet browser (E.g. Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) and in the address bar type: http://192.168.1.1

If you are prompted with a ‘Welcome’ Page, please select ‘Cancel’ as you do not need to manually configure your Router to connect to the Internet.

Change your WiFi Network Name

2. To change the WiFi Network name, select the Tabs: ‘Settings’ & ‘Wireless’.

Here you can change the WiFi Name (SSID) of both the 2.4GHz & 5GHz WiFi frequencies.

The differences between the two frequencies are the range (coverage) and bandwidth (speed) that the bands provide.

The 2.4 GHz band provides coverage at a longer range but transmits data at slower speeds.

The 5 GHz band provides less coverage but transmits data at faster speeds.

You may wish to have the same Wi-Fi Name to assign in the 2.4Ghz & 5GHz fields as this will assist your devices in connecting to the most optimal frequency depending on how far away you are from the Router.

Change Your WiFi Password

3. To change the 'Admin’ Password you use to log in to the Router in your Web browser - Go to ‘Management’/ ‘System Admin’.

Here you change the Admin password and select ‘Save’.

There are three different methods for connecting your landline phone depending on how your Fibre has been installed at your home.   

• Connecting through your modem
• Connecting with integrated wiring + voice box
• Connecting with integrated wiring through phone jack point

Option 1: Connecting your landline phone through your modem 

This will be you if your home is not set up for integrated wiring. This means your landline phone plugs straight into the modem and you do not use other phone jacks in your home.  

To set up your landline phone, simply plug your handset phone jack into the back of your modem (through the VoIP 1 port) using the grey telephone cable that was supplied in your modem box.

Once this is connected, you will be able to make calls straight away. If your current phone cable does not fit into the VoIP 1 socket, have a look at the modem from your previous retailer. They should have a cable that is similar to the grey cable that came with our modem, unplug that from the previous modem and replace it with the cable that’s on your phone, now you should have a cable that’ll fit into the VoIP 1 socket of our modem.

Option 2: Connecting your landline phone with integrated wiring + voice box

If you have integrated wiring through your Optical Network Terminal (ONT) then you will be able to use your existing jackpoint to connect your landline phone.

This will be you if you have a small white ‘voice box’ installed near your ONT.

Connect the grey telephone cable that was supplied in your modem box from your voice box to the VoIP1 socket in your modem.

You can now use any phone jack points in your home to plug in a landline phone. If your phone requires electricity, make sure it is plugged in at the wall power socket.

Option 3: Connecting your landline phone with integrated wiring through the phone jackpoint

In some homes, the phone jack points are integrated throughout the house without a white voice box.

If this is you, you will need an extra cable similar to the one that is currently plugged into the phone jack of your phone. Plug one end of the cable into the VoIP 1 port of Modem and the other end into any jack point in your home.

This will allow you to use all other jack points in your home normally. 

Press *61 to turn on call waiting

To turn off your voicemail dial *53

Once your broadband connection has been set up, you can connect your landline phone.

Please note, it can take up to 3 hours for your phone to set itself up once it has been connected.

ADSL or VDSL Connection

Use the cord from your previous landline connection to connect the VoIP1 Port on the modem to your landline phone.

If your phone cable is unable to fit into the VoIP 1 Port (See diagram below), or you no longer have this chord, then a RJ11 cable can be purchased from your nearest PB Tech, Jaycar or electronics store.

Fibre Connection 

Using the grey Phone Cable that is included in your modem box, connect this cord from the VoIP Port on the modem to your landline phone. (See diagram below)

You will receive a text message or a phone call from the Chorus Fibre Install Technician to confirm your install, 3 days beforehand. They will provide you with an am or pm time slot for the day you have indicated you would like your Fibre installed. 

Yes, the property owner must give written or verbal permission to install Fibre at your property.

If you need to change the date that the Install Technician visits your home, you must give at least 3 days’ notice. To change this date, please contact us. You will need to be home when the technician visits your home.

3 - 6 hours

The further away from your modem you are, the more likely you are to experience a weaker WiFi signal.

Try positioning your modem in a central area of your house away from obstacles such as walls or other home appliances.

For more tips, check out ‘How do I fix my slow Wifi’

There are many things you can do to help your Wi-Fi if you believe it is not performing as fast as it should be. We have outlined these below.

• Number of Users
• Position of your Modem
• Modem
• Interference
• Neighbours

Number of Users

The more people using your Wi-Fi connection, the less wireless bandwidth there is available to each person’s device. This can often cause your Wi-Fi to slow down. We recommend that where possible you connect internet devices to the Ethernet so that the Wi-Fi bandwidth can be reserved for mobile devices.  

Position of your Modem

For best performance, we recommend that you place your modem up high in a central area of your house. If the modem is at ground level and behind a desk or piece of furniture your signal may be affected.

The closer your devices are to the signal, the stronger your connection will be. This will result in better Wi-Fi performance.   

Modem

We highly recommend you use the modem we supply to you with your plan. Our modems are one of the fastest on the market and provide better performance than many others.

Interference

Often home appliances such as Bluetooth speakers, microwaves, baby monitors and cordless phones can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. Other barriers in your home that can cause Wi-Fi interference include hot water cylinders, walls or any obstacles that contain metal.  

Neighbours

Your neighbours' Wi-Fi can often cause signal interference with your Wi-Fi. This is more common in apartment buildings where there are many access points. We highly recommend choosing a different Wi-Fi channel – this will be either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.

On some specific devices, you may be able to connect without a password if the device has a 'WPS' (WiFi Protected Setup) button.

To connect to WiFi, simply press the respective WPS buttons on your D-Link modem and your device to instantly establish a secure connection.

Your modem relies on electricity as a power supply so your broadband connection will not work if there is a power cut. It is a good idea to always have a fully charged mobile phone in case of emergencies.

There are a number of factors that can affect your Broadband performance and speed. For a list of tips and suggestions to help your Broadband connection click here.

If you are still concerned about the speed of your connection, we recommend you do a speed test or contact our Customer Care Team.

To measure the speed of your broadband you can use a free independent website, such as www.speedtest.net

Before testing, make sure the Wifi on your modem is turned off and that no internet use is in process (Such as Netflix or downloads). You will need to make sure the device you are testing is plugged directly into your modem via the ethernet cable.

If you are not getting the desired result, please change the server to ensure it is not an issue with the remote server.
