Product features
Featuring a VDSL2/ADSL2+ modem and a Gigabit WAN port, you can choose whether you connect to the Internet via DSL or a
fibre service. If you don’t have a fibre connection, the Gigabit WAN port will have you protected should you choose to update in the
future. With uncertainty around the future of the NBN, NetComm Wireless will have you covered should the network connection
switch to VDSL.
This router also includes 2 x USB host ports that can be used to connect USB devices so that their capabilities can be shared with
all connected users. Connect a USB hard drive so that all files stored can be accessed and shared.
All of these features can be shared with multiple users via the built-in wireless access point or the four Ethernet LAN ports. The high
speed Wireless N provides a signal strong enough to penetrate the far corners of a house and can connect all WiFi enabled devices,
such as laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles, tablets and PCs. The four Fast Ethernet ports provide a wired connection that can
be used to connect desktop computers, media devices or any Ethernet equipped product.
Note: Maximum wireless signal rate and coverage values are derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, and 802.11n specifications. Actual wireless speed and
coverage are dependent on network and environmental conditions included but not limited to volume of network traffic, building materials and
.

Safety and product care
Your router is an electronic device that sends and receives radio signals. Please take the time to read this list of precautions that
should be taken when installing and using the router.
Do not disassemble the router. There are no user-serviceable parts.
Do not allow the router to come into contact with liquid or moisture at any time. To clean the device, wipe it with a
damp cloth.
Do not restrict airflow around the device. This can lead to the device overheating.
Do not place the device in direct sunlight or in hot areas.
Transport and handling
When transporting the NF10W, it is recommended to return the product in the original packaging. This ensures that the product will
not be damaged.
Note: In the event the product needs to be returned, ensure it is securely packaged with appropriate padding to prevent
damage during courier transport.

Installation and configuration
of the NF10W
Placement of your NF10W
The wireless connection between your NF10W and your WiFi devices will be strong when they are in close proximity and have direct
line of sight. As your client device moves further away from the NF10W or solid objects block direct line of sight to the router, your
wireless connection and performance may degrade. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the
individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the
computer to a position between three to five meters from the NF10W in order to see if distance is the problem.
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless
network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this
check list may help.
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your NF10W, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the NF10W on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may
mean placing the NF10W on an upper floor.
Try not to place the NF10W near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NF10W
(2.4GHz).
Avoiding obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your NF10W near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit
wireless communication include:
Refrigerators
Washers and/or dryers
Metal cabinets
Large aquariums
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking
the signal’s path (between your devices and the NF10W).
Cordless phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your NF10W and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the NF10W.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless
network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your NF10W to channel 11. See your phone’s user
manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.

Choosing the “quietest” channel for your wireless network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Your wireless adapter may include a utility to assist in scanning for the
least congested network, otherwise you may be able to find another piece of software that can be used. These tools display a
graphical representation of the wireless networks in range and the channels on which they are operating. Try to find a channel which
is not as busy and does not overlap with another one. Channels 1, 6 and 11 are the only channels which do not overlap with one
another and you should ideally choose one of these channels. Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to
find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
Hardware installation
1. Connect the power adapter to the Power socket on the back of the NF10W.
2. Plug the power adapter into the wall socket and switch on the power.
3. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the NF10W to power up.
Connecting a client via Ethernet cable
4. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable provided to one of the ports marked ‘LAN’ at the back of the NF10W.

8. Follow the steps to set up your NF10W.
Connecting a client wirelessly
1. Ensure WiFi is enabled on your device (e.g. computer/laptop/smartphone).
2. Scan for wireless networks in your area and connect to the network name that matches the Wireless network name
configured on the NF10W.
Note: Refer to the included Wireless Security Card for the default SSID and wireless security key of your NF10W
3. When prompted for your wireless security settings, enter the Wireless security key configured on the NF10W.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the connection to establish.
5. Open your Web browser, and enter http://192.168.20.1 into the address bar and press Enter.
