Bigpipe Setup Guide for Netcomm NF4V Modem Router (VDSL)

This section details how to plug the modem in – to both power and the internet. Before you start you will need to identify where DSL comes into your home. If you have previously had broadband, continue to use the same outlet. If you’re in a new home, look for an outlet labelled ADSL. If you cannot find a labelled outlet try every outlet in your house, or ask your landlord or the previous occupant.

To install the router:

Connect Router to power
Connect the DSL port on the router to a jackpoint on the wall
Connect Router to computer (i.e.: PC or laptop)

Disclaimer: Our modem guides are just for setting up your Bigpipe connection with these specific models of modem. If something goes wrong during setup we recommend doing a factory reset of your modem and – if necessary – getting in touch with the Bigpipe support team. These guides don’t cover everything your modem can do. If you want to get more in-depth, we recommend starting with Googling your modem model number.

Resetting the Router

If something goes wrong with your router, you can reset the device to the default Factory settings. You will lose any of your customised settings.

To reset the modem:

Check it is on (i.e.: plugged in with one or more lights lit).

You cannot reset the modem if it is off.
Use something, like a paperclip, to press and hold the Factory Reset button, which is in between the plug and the USB port.
Hold for 5 seconds.
Release the Factory Reset button.
After a few seconds, the modem will start to reset.

The modem will have reset itself to its original factory settings. Any customised settings will have been lost.
