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 LAN Ethernet 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, smart phones, gaming consoles, tablets and PCs. The four Gigabit LAN 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, 802.11n and 802.11ac 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
With reference to unpacking, installation, use and maintenance of your electronic device, the following basic guidelines are
recommended:
Do not use or install this product near water to avoid fire or shock hazard. For example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, or near a swimming pool. Also, do not expose the equipment to rain or damp areas (e.g. a wet basement).
Do not connect the power supply cord on elevated surfaces. Allow it to lie freely. There should be no obstructions in its
path and no heavy items should be placed on the cord. In addition, do not walk on, step on or mistreat the cord.
To safeguard the equipment against overheating, make sure that all openings in the unit that offer exposure to air are
unobstructed.
WARNING
Disconnect the power line from the device before servicing.
Transport and Handling
When transporting the NF8AC, it is recommended to return the product in the original packaging. This ensures the product will not
be damaged.
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 NF8AC
Placement of your NF8AC
The wireless connection between your NF8AC and your WiFi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to your
NF8AC. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your NF8AC and connected devices
increases. 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 NF8AC 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
checklist may help.
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your NF8AC, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the NF8AC on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may
mean placing the NF8AC on an upper floor.
Try not to place the NF8AC near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NF8AC
(2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your NF8AC 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 NF8AC).
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 NF8AC 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 NF8AC.
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 NF8AC to channel 11. See your phone’s user
manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
Choose 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. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your
Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
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.
