Can my NBN Box be moved or relocated?

Certainly, any NBN box, be it a fibre fttp NTD, HFC, or even FTTC box can be relocated within a home or business.

Either the NBN technician upon installation of the NBN box was installed in an inconvenient location, or perhaps you have renovated your home and require the NTD to be relocated into a more suitable location. So the answer is, Yes!

Who can move my NBN box, can I move it myself?

Certain rules and regulations need adhering to in order to relocate any NBN box or connection point in your premises.

So you cannot move the box yourself. Especially the fibre cabling and connection points are very delicate, after all. the NBN fibre is a thin piece of glass.

However it is required that a private technician with suitable ACMA registration  endorsements relocate your NBN service, and in accordance with NBNs relocation requirement documents.

Which room can I relocate my NBN box into?

It's recommended that a suitable room, away from heavy electrical interference and damp areas, such as bathrooms and laundrys be avoided.

Perfect location to install would be; a bedroom, study, lounge room, or central point of the house in a cupboard or storage area with enough air-flow to avoild the NTD or router from overheating.

P.S Many customers who call us are concerned about having the NBN box installed in the baby's room as they are concerned about radiation from the connected router. We understand!

Does my NBN box need a power point?

Yes, in fact make sure a power point is within the vicinity of 1.2 meters of the nbn box location. Just ask the technician to make sure its near a power point.

Single storey brick and tiled roof homes = $449 inc GST
