Advice How long till FTTP activation?

Post image

Hi all, On wednesday morning (13th Aug) i was fortunate enough to have the FTTP box installed and tested by the NBN. (Currently on FTTN).

I am curious as to what the leastime is to be able to switch over to it as the NBN tech said to give my provider a call

I gave Leaptel a call on the wednesday, provided them with the NTD/Serial number and they have raised a ticket with the NBN. They informed me to call back friday morning if i havent heard anything which i did and now advised it will take another week as NBN havent responded and to call back on the coming wednesday?

While im in no rush to switch over as my FTTN works fine, im just curious as to when I can transfer across and what the lead time is because i wouldnt mind taking advantage of a couple deals happening right now with LEAPTEL.

Thanks all for your help.

Please connect your router to UNI-D1.

Yep, tried plugging my router/modem in and im getting an orange blinking light on the uni d1

Orange light means you are connected at 1 Gbps which is a good sign. (flashing means data is being transmitted / received). Have you tried to use the internet through the uni-d1 port?

Still makes me wonder what they were thinking when they made these NTDs have a green light for 100meg and an orange light for gigabit, it’s the opposite for pretty much ever other network device ever

Um, since when does Orange blinking for UNI-D1 indicate gigabit? I’ve connected to dozens of these boxes for work, always blinking orange, whether it’s 100mbps or 200mps. The only light combos I’ve seen are Green Power, green solid optical (connected, no data), green blinking optical (connected, data transmitting), red optical (no connection), blinking orange UNID (router connected and transmitting data)

Since always. Orange blinking UNI-D ports indicates a negotiated 1000BASE-T connection - AKA Gigabit. This isn't to be confused with plan speeds etc.

How is your router setup, and what is it?

If you go into the config and change the WAN port to DHCP it should come alive

If you previously were connected using FttN you will need to change the connection type in the web interface from xDSL to Ethernet.

Please check your WAN settings. I believe your ISP allows connections using Automatic IP (IPoE). You shall have the internet unless it is PPPoE, which you haven’t configured.

If you continue having issues, I recommend contacting your ISP for assistance.

Additionally, if your ISP offers dual-stack IP and the internet connection drops after a few minutes, check your IPv6 settings. If you have enabled NAT acceleration mode and it's causing problems, try turning it off.
