Yes, especially if internal access is required or it’s a new development. You should be present at the premises or someone above the age of 18 can also be considered.

Whether on-site service is needed depends on the network activation address. If the infrastructure and equipment at your address are already set up, or if you’ve already activated the service and just want to transfer it to our network, we can usually activate the service remotely without the need for an on-site visit.

The availability of on-site support depends on the specific service address. Occom primarily provides remote assistance through online and phone support channels to ensure efficient service delivery.

If on-site assistance is required due to special circumstances, please contact our customer service team for further evaluation and arrangements.

As your ISP, we understand your concern about potential damage to your walls or property during installation. Typically, whether any damage is necessary depends on the specific requirements of the installation process. The Technician will assess your premises and can specify if any damage is required to pass cabling or install other necessary equipment. Rest assured, the technician aims to perform the installation with minimal impact and will inform you beforehand if any modifications are needed.

Yes. You can use mesh systems or secondary routers to extend your network coverage. We sell Asus Mesh routers. Please contact us if you would like to place an order.

Not always—but it depends on your current modem/router’s capabilities.

If you’re upgrading to a higher-speed plan (like 100Mbps or 1000Mbps), your existing modem/router must support those speeds, especially on the WAN (Internet) port. Some older devices may bottleneck your speed, even if your plan allows for higher performance.

To check if your router is compatible:

Visit the official website of your router’s brand (e.g., TP-Link, Netgear, Asus).

Look up your router model and check the WAN port speed—it should be at least 1 Gbps for high-speed plans.

Ensure the device supports AC (Wi-Fi 5) or AX (Wi-Fi 6) standards for better wireless performance.

If your router doesn’t meet these specs, we recommend upgrading to ensure you get the full benefit of your new plan.

Most modern routers are compatible with our service. Just make sure:

-The router supports PPPoE.

-The router is not locked to another provider.

-If you require a landline/VoIP service, make sure your router supports it.

Firmware updates are automatic. For manual updates, you need to login into the router IP and select the Option Administration < Firmware Upgrade and and then upload the Firmware file. This file can be downloaded from the Official website of the Router's Manufacturer. You can also contact support or refer to your router’s manual.

For this you need to login into the router IP.

– You can use a Mobile phone or laptop and connect it with the Wifi.

– Login into the router IP which is 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 generally or this IP can be found on the label present on the back or bottom side of the router.

– After entering the router IP, Enter the username and password to login which you may have set during the initial configuration or router setup (For BYO router/modem) process when you were connecting the router for the very first time. If it is an ASUS router supplied by OCCOM please try username = admin

password = Occom_1234 or OCcom_1234

– Then scroll or locate the option parental controls or URL filtering. If it is an OCCOM Asus router this option can be found in AiProtection

– Then in the Parental control you can enter the MAC address of the device on which you want to block specific websites or limit the access. You can also enter the URLs of the specific websites that you would like to be blocked.

MAC Address of the devices like mobile phone or laptop can be found in the system settings under the about option.

Access your router settings by logging into the router IP and enable guest mode under the wireless section. On the Guest Mode page you can set the Name of the Guest Network, password or key to connect to that network. You can also put the TIme schedule as well on the Guest Network thus restricting or allowing the access of the internet to the devices that is connected to that Guest network for a limited period of time in a day thus setting it up on an Automatic function.

If you’re living in a granny flat, the best router option depends on whether the internet service is installed directly in your unit or shared from the main house.Normally NBN fiber box installed at the main house

🔹 1. Fibre/NBN box is installed directly in the granny flat:

You can use a regular standalone router AX1500 to AX3000 range that suits the size of the flat.

Recommended models: TP-Link AX1800 2 , ASUS RT-AX52，ASUS RT-57

Tip: Wi-Fi 6 models are better for speed and reliability in small spaces.

🔹 2. Internet is shared from the main house:

You will likely need a mesh system or Wi-Fi extender to extend the signal to your granny flat.

Best solution: Use a 2- or 3-node mesh Wi-Fi system (like ASUS RT-57 AX3000 (2 or 3-Pack)) — one node in the main house, another in the granny flat.

Alternative: Use a wired Ethernet cable from the main house to connect a second router or access point in the granny flat.

Tip: If the distance is far or there are thick walls, wireless signal may weaken. A wired backhaul (Ethernet cable) gives the most stable connection.

For standalone houses, especially larger ones (over 300 square meters or multi-storey), we recommend a high-performance router or a mesh Wi-Fi system with 2–3 nodes.

AX3000 or higher Wi-Fi 6 models will provide strong and stable signals throughout the entire house, even extending to your backyard.

Recommended systems:

ASUS RT-57 AX3000 (2 or 3-Pack)

Tip: For houses, a mesh system with Ethernet backhaul (wired connection between nodes) can offer significantly better performance.

This is because house structures—such as concrete walls—can weaken or block Wi-Fi signals, so we recommend using wired connections between mesh units wherever possible (you may need to consult your cabler for setup).

Townhouses and duplexes often have two floors and longer layouts, so a stronger router or a 2-pack mesh Wi-Fi system is recommended.

Look for routers with AX3000 to AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 capability to ensure good coverage on both levels.

Recommended options:

TP-Link AX3000 2 pack or 3 pack

Tip: Place one mesh node near your fiber box and the second node on the other floor or at the far end of the home.

If you’re living in an apartment or unit, a basic to mid-range Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 router should be sufficient. Look for models like AX1500 to AX3000.

These routers provide enough coverage for smaller spaces and support multiple devices.

Recommended models:

TP-Link AX1800, ASUS RT-AX52，ASUS RT-57

Tip: If your apartment has thick walls or is a corner unit, you might consider adding a Wi-Fi extender or a simple mesh system.

For optimal WiFi performance, Occom recommends using a dual-band router — now the standard in most modern homes.

Why dual-band?

Single-band routers (2.4GHz only) offer wide coverage but are more prone to interference and slower speeds, especially in crowded areas.

Dual-band routers support both:

2.4GHz: Longer range, better wall penetration, but slower and more interference

5GHz: Faster speeds, less interference, ideal for streaming and gaming at shorter distances

Current trend

Most new routers are dual-band or even tri-band, designed for today’s device-heavy households

5GHz has become the preferred choice for high-speed tasks

Mesh systems and WiFi 6 routers are also becoming more popular, offering better performance across large or multi-room homes

Occom’s tip

For the best experience, connect to the 5GHz band whenever possible — especially when you’re near the router or in open spaces.

You will be automatically transferred to No-Lock in contract and you internet services will be continued unless you inform us to cancel it. The services can be cancelled as per 30 days notice policy.

Place your router in a central location in your house, elevated area free from obstructions like metal appliances and thick walls.

You can use almost any standard router with a WAN (Internet) port, as the fiber box acts as the modem.

No built-in modem is required — just a good-quality router.

✅ Recommended:

For small to medium (50-100 square meters) homes: ASUS RT-AX52，

For medium (100-200 square meters) homes: ASUS RT-57

For large (over 300 square meters or multi-storey) homes: ASUS RT-57 AX3000 (2 or 3-Pack)

Tip: Make sure the router supports PPPoE login.

These connection types need a modem-router combo.

✅ Recommended options:

Modem-router combo: TP-Link VX230v

Important:

For FTTN/FTTB: VDSL modem is required.

Most fixed wireless setups include a modem or outdoor antenna — you’ll just need a regular router with a WAN port.

✅ Recommended:

ASUS RT-AX52，TP-Link AX1800

Mesh system if large property

Check: Make sure the router supports PPPoE login.

Most routers will work if your new address uses the same technology. But if at the new address the technology is different from the previous address then you have to buy a new modem that you can buy it from the market based on our recommendation or can be completely your decision. Else you can buy it from us.

Please connect your computer’s Ethernet port to the optical fiber box using a network cable, then follow the steps below:

Windows Direct Dial-Up Settings (PPPoE)

1. Open Network & Internet Settings:

2. Right-click the network icon in the lower-right corner of the taskbar → Select “Network & Internet Settings”.

3. Choose Dial-up:

Click “Dial-up” → “Set up a new connection”.

Select Connect to the Internet:

Choose the “Broadband (PPPoE)” option.

4. Enter your network account credentials:

Enter your broadband username and password in the respective fields (this information can be found in the email with the subject ‘OCCOM Service Activation Notice’).

Check “Remember this password” for automatic connection next time.

5. Click “Connect” and wait for the connection to be established.

📌 Tip: If the connection fails, please check whether the network cable is properly plugged into the correct port, or whether a VLAN ID is required (some providers may require this setting).

If NBN™ is available at your address, all you’ll need to do is pick out an NBN™ plan and sign up online or call our sales or customer service teams at 1300 299 999. If you’re already with OCOM, you can contact us to update through LiveChat.
Remember: Moving to NBN™ broadband will not necessarily cancel your existing broadband and phone services. Once you’ve upgraded, please contact your existing provider to ensure that your old services are cancelled; otherwise, you may continue to be billed for them.

If your address is eligible, Occom will help you upgrade to FTTP with $0 standard installation when you sign up for an eligible speed plan.

Generally, all our fibre plans offer unlimited data, with no usage limits. You can enjoy high-speed internet worry-free, without the concern of excess charges.

Various speed tiers are available for OptiComm’s fibre internet connections. Opticomm’s broadband plans have maximum download speeds of 12 megabits per second (Mbps), 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 250 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). Currently, the 1Gbps Lightning Plan is the highest internet speed available to residences in Australia. Occom is one of the few OptiComm service providers who can provide the 1Gbps plan. Customers are able to choose between these plans depending on their speed preference.

SUPA Networks offers various speed tiers for fibre internet connections, including maximum download speeds of 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 750 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps. Customers are able to choose between these plans depending on their speed preference.

Upgrading to FTTP can provide access to faster and more stable internet. By upgrading, you can unlock the access to SuperFast (250 Mbps) and UltraFast (1000 Mbps) tiers of download speeds.

The New Development/Dwelling Activation Fee (NDA) or New Development Charge (NDC) is a fee charged for all connections made in areas that the fibre infrastructure provider (e.g., SUPA Networks) has identified as within the boundary of a new development. Essentially, it means if fibre internet has never been used at a property before, this one-time fee will be charged to the end user no matter which internet service provider is used. The implementation of this fee was a decision made by the Australian government to offset part of the fibre infrastructure’s cost onto “the parties that use or benefit from them.”. SUPA Networks may charge a $300 New Development Fee if your premises is identified as being within the site boundary of a new development. SUPA Networks will contact you directly for the charge before activating the NTD and Internet service for you.

The termination equipment in any telecommunications carrier’s network is called an Optical Network Terminal (ONT). This device may also be referred to as a “fibre box” at times, and some companies may confusingly refer to the ONT by a different name, such as NTU (Network Termination Unit). OptiComm refers to this device as the ONT. This device takes the data transmitted from fibre optic cables and converts it to electronic signals that your router can use. In the case of Opticomm’s Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) networks, one ONT can support more than one active internet service.

The termination equipment in any telecommunications carrier’s network is called a Network Termination Device (NTD). SUPA Networks uses two types of NTDs-Calix NTD (Black Box) and Mikrotik NTD (White Box).

One of the main differences between OptiComm and NBNCo is the connection technology they use. OptiComm uses FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) technology in most of their projects. FTTP exclusively uses fibre optic cables, enabling the fastest speeds in Australia. FTTP benefits from the higher capacity of a full fibre connection and will have a more stable connection and speed in general. However, in addition to FTTP, NBNCo also adopts other technologies like a combination of fibre and copper (FTTC, FTTN/B) or fibre and coaxial cable (HFC). FTTC, FTTN/B, and HFC technologies may slow down and become unstable during instances of poor weather.

In a standard nbn FTTP upgrade, the following steps must be completed:

• Occom will arrange for an nbn® technician to assess the surroundings of your premises prior to the installation. This will help the technician identify any potential obstacles early and prepare for your upcoming installation appointment.
• After the 1st appointment, a 2nd appointment will be scheduled for the installation of the nbn® equipment both inside and outside your premises. You, or an authorised person over the age of 18, must be present during the installation to provide the technician with access to both internal and external areas of your premises.

If you are the tenant of the premises, you may be required to show the nbn® technician written approval of the upgrade before the installation begins.

Once your FTTP upgrade is complete, you will need to connect to the new nbn® connection box by using an Ethernet cable and a compatible modem router.

Yes, having multiple devices connected to your network can significantly affect your internet speed. Each device—whether it’s streaming, downloading, gaming, or just idling—shares the total available bandwidth.

For example, if someone is streaming in 4K, another is on a video call, and others are browsing or gaming, the available speed for each activity is divided, which can lead to slower performance.

To improve overall speed:

Upgrade to a higher-speed plan if multiple users/devices are active.
Use a dual-band or Wi-Fi 6 router for better traffic management.
Connect high-demand devices via Ethernet to reduce Wi-Fi congestion.
Efficient device management helps maintain a smooth internet experience for everyone.

To change your NAT Type, please contact OCCOM’s customer service team by calling 1300 299 999. Our technical team will handle the configuration for you, and the change is normally completed within 24 hours.

Wi-Fi interference is a common cause of slow internet speeds, high latency, and disconnections. You can try the following methods to minimize interference and improve stability:

1. Avoid placing the router in enclosed spaces

Place the router in a central, open area of your home. Avoid putting it in cabinets, corners, or on the floor. Keep it away from interference sources like microwave ovens, cordless phones, and refrigerators.

2. Use the 5GHz band whenever possible

Modern dual-band routers support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. 2.4GHz has better range through walls but is more prone to interference, while 5GHz offers less interference (though slightly weaker coverage). It’s recommended to connect to the 5GHz network when available.

3. Reduce interference from overlapping channels

If there are many nearby Wi-Fi networks, access your router’s settings and try switching the wireless channel to avoid crowded ones (channels 1, 6, and 11 are commonly used for 2.4GHz).

4. Keep away from Bluetooth devices and appliances

Bluetooth devices, wireless headphones, and microwave ovens can interfere with 2.4GHz signals. Try to maintain some distance from such devices.

5. Use a Mesh system or Wi-Fi extender

If your home is large or has multiple floors, consider using a Mesh Wi-Fi system or signal extender to enhance overall coverage and network stability

Please refer to the following basic troubleshooting steps:
1. Check your connection method:
Please confirm whether you are currently connected via Wi-Fi or using a wired Ethernet connection.

If you are using Wi-Fi, we recommend switching to a wired connection directly to your router or fiber box for a better gaming experience. Wireless signals are often affected by environmental factors, which can cause unstable latency during gameplay

2. Check if a VPN or game accelerator is enabled:
The network quality when using a VPN or game accelerator depends on the servers of the VPN / game accelerator provider. Your internet service provider cannot control the network quality after the VPN or game accelerator is activated.

If your VPN or game accelerator is currently disabled, please further check your network settings to see if a proxy is enabled. If a proxy is active, try turning it off and testing the game again to see if the issue persists.

Currently, our service does not support IPv6, and there is no confirmed timeline for its rollout yet. However, we are actively monitoring the development of IPv6 and will make appropriate adjustments in the future based on demand and technical feasibility. Any updates will be promptly communicated to our customers.

There are many factors that can cause a disconnection, such as temporary network maintenance, infrastructure issues, or device malfunctions.
You can try these simple steps to resolve the issue:

1. Click here to check the outage.

2. Restart your devices: Unplug the power cables from the modem and router, wait for 1-2 minutes. Plug the power cables back in and wait for all the lights to stabilize.

3. Check the connections: Ensure that all cables are securely connected, especially the network and power cables.

4. Test the network: If the device lights are normal but you’re still unable to connect, there may be a temporary outage or configuration issue. Try connecting to the router and testing the network.

It’s suggested to follow the steps below for an initial check.

1. If your router has been running for a long time, we recommend powering it off for 1–2 minutes before turning it back on to perform a restart.

2. Perform a cable connection test as a priority. If a cable connection test is not feasible, you can conduct a WiFi test.

[5G Wi-Fi Speed Test]

1. Connection: Connect to the router’s 5G Wi-Fi.

2. Speed Test: Click Here, select the “Telstra – Sydney” server under Change Server, and click “Go”.

Perform the speed test during the following time periods (please take a screenshot of your entire screen. Once the test is complete, kindly provide the results to us.):

Morning (8:00 – 10:00)

Afternoon (12:00 – 17:00)

Evening (Australia’s defined peak hours: 18:00 – 24:00)

Note: During the speed test, make sure you are standing in front of the router. If you have a Mesh router, it should be placed directly in front of the main router. Please refrain from downloading or using any other applications, and avoid using other devices.

Wi-Fi is prone to interference from the other metal or frequency emitting devices like microwave ovens etc., Thickness of the House walls and location or distance of the router from the device trying to use the internet services as the internet or data is being transmitted wirelessly. Ethernet connections deliver maximum speed as there is no chance of interference so the outside factors cannot effect the internet speed.

Most residential internet plans are designed with asymmetrical speeds, meaning the download speed is intentionally higher than the upload speed. This setup reflects typical usage patterns—streaming, browsing, and downloading content require more bandwidth than uploading.

If you frequently upload large files, use cloud backups, or livestream, and need higher upload speeds, you may consider switching to a higher-tier plan or a business-grade symmetrical connection, where upload and download speeds are more balanced

If your router is installed in the garage, it may cause weaker Wi-Fi signals in other areas of your house, especially in rooms that are separated by walls or located far from the router.
To improve your internet experience, you can consider the following options:

1. Move the router: If possible, try relocating the router to a more central position in the house, closer to where you use the internet most often.

2. Add a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh router: You can extend the wireless signal by adding a Wi-Fi extender or a Mesh router to improve coverage and stability.

3. Use a jumper cable: If you have network outlets in your home, you can use a jumper cable to route the main signal to a more optimal spot for the router. We can assist in checking if this is a viable solution.

4. Use a wired connection: If possible, you can use Ethernet cables to connect your computer or TV for a more stable internet connection.

The activation time of your order mainly depends on the network type and service level available at your location.

If remote activation is supported, the service can be activated as quickly as within 24 hours, with most cases completed in 1–2 business days. If an on-site technician is required, the process may take 5–15 business days.

We will contact you as soon as possible after your order to confirm the installation schedule.

For a new landline number, activation is typically completed within 1 business day.

If you are porting an existing number from another provider, the process usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to complete.

To track your router delivery, please follow these steps:

1. Confirmation Email.Once your router is dispatched, we’ll send a confirmation email to your registered email address. It will include your tracking number.

2. Track Your Delivery.Use the tracking number to check the delivery status on the Australia Post website.

3. Delivery Options

Standard Delivery: Typically 2–3 business days

Express Delivery: Typically 1–2 business days

Note: These estimates apply to the Sydney and Melbourne areas. Delivery times may vary slightly in other regions.

How to distinguish between network cables and telephone lines?

The connector of a Ethernet cable is larger, and the wire itself is thicker. It is commonly used to connect devices like routers and computers for internet access. The outer jacket of the network cable typically has labels like “Cat 5E” or “Cat6”, which indicate the cable’s specification.

The connector of a telephone cable is smaller, and the wire is thinner. It is usually used to connect landline phones, and the outer jacket typically doesn’t feature labels like “Cat.”

Additionally, network cable connectors contain 8 small metal pins, while telephone line connectors have only 2 to 4.

FTTP – Fibre to the premises utilises fibre optic cable to connect your premises directly to nbn® from the nearest node. In order for this connection to work, a utility box will be required to be installed outside of your premises in addition to a connection box that is installed inside the premises. FTTP is the best nbn® connection type of technology, which is more consistent in its delivery of ultrafast internet speed. You will need to connect a router to the Network Termination Device (NTD) to access Internet service.

FTTN – Fibre to the Node utilises fibre optic cable to the nearest node to your premises. The signal from the optic fibre cable then travels down through existing copper lines to the primary telephone wall socket. A VDS2-compatible modem router is required for this type of connection to work.

FTTB – Fibre to the Building utilises fibre optic cable all the way to a shared point in the building’s communications room. From there, the connection travels along the existing copper lines to each customer. In order for this type of connection to function, a VDSL 2-compatible modem router is required.

FTTC – Fibre to the Curb is the newest technology available, which is capable of bringing optic fibre cables almost all the way to your premises. The connection then travels through existing copper cables into the home for quick and stable internet. A nbn® connection device, short for NCD, is then set up within the premises and then connected to the primary telephone wall socket. You will need to connect a router to nbn® NCD to access Internet service.

HFC – Hybrid Fibre Coaxial is utilised where there is an existing cable network that can be used to make the final part of the connection. Similarly, with FTTN and FTTB, fibre optic cable is connected to a nearby node. A coaxial cable is then used to connect to a nbn® device, which is installed inside the customer’s premises. You will need to connect a router to nbn® HFC NTD to access Internet service.

For more information on nbn® speeds, see here https://occom.com.au/au/what-nbn-speed-tier-do-i-need/.

The Network Termination Device (NTD), also known as the nbn® connection box, is required to be installed to connect to the nbn® network. NBN Co installs the device inside your home, which then connects to your Occom WiFi modem. The nbn connection box takes the data transmitted from fibre optic cables and converts it to electronic signals that your router can use. In the case of nbn™ Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) networks, one NTD can support more than one active internet service. On the day of connection, contact our support team to assure that your connection box is activated and working.

The New Development Charge is a fee charged for all connections made in areas that the fibre infrastructure provider (e.g., OptiComm) has identified as within the boundary of a new development. Essentially, it means if fibre internet has never been used at a property before, this one-time fee will be charged to the end user no matter which internet service provider is used. The implementation of this fee was a decision made by the Australian government to offset part of the fibre infrastructure’s cost onto “the parties that use or benefit from them.”. Service providers (including Occom) charge this fee on behalf of the upstream fibre provider (e.g., OptiComm) when the internet service is activated.

Different network types have requirements for router compatibility. To ensure smooth network connection, it is recommended that you contact customer service before installation to confirm whether your device is compatible with our service.

In order to make you worry-free and effortless, we also provide high-quality routers from globally renowned brands, which have been pre-configured for you. They are plug-and-play and do not require additional settings. Compatibility and stability are more guaranteed, making them the first choice for the vast majority of customers.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re considering cancelling your service.

If you’re using a fibre broadband service, we may be able to assist with relocating your service to a new address (including standalone houses, apartments, or townhouses), or transferring the service to the next resident.

If you’re using a SIM card service, please contact Occom before the 26th of the month to stop the service in time and avoid automatic renewal for the next billing cycle.

It’s required to fill out the “Change of Ownership Form.” We will process your request within 3-5 business days upon receiving the form. Once the transfer is complete, both the new and old account holders will receive email notifications.

Our relocation service allows for a smooth transition. We recommend contacting Occom 1–2 weeks before your move and providing your new address. We’ll assist you in checking service availability and router compatibility, and help arrange the relocation process. If your new address already has the required fibre equipment installed, we can usually activate your service remotely. If the equipment is not yet available, we will guide you through the setup steps and provide a timeline.

You can upgrade your internet plan anytime based on your needs. It’s free to upgrade — just pay the difference in monthly fees. Most upgrades are completed within 24 hours.
