Yes, moving your NBN box is certainly doable. If you’ve had your NBN box installed in an unpractical location, we would  recommend calling us to discus your options.

As there are a few elements within the NBN box setup, you’ll of course need to engage a highly trained licensed technician who is able to identify the current location, and the new location and make sure all parts of your home wirings are able to be re-run or connected from the new connection point.

How much does it cost to relocate your NBN NTD?

The cost for relocating your NTD can vary depending on the size of your house and current location of the NTD. Generally, though most NTD’s are installed within a garage or at the BEP (building entry point) where your conduit comes in from the street.

Although the cost may vary, I’ll probably suggest that an average cost to relocate your existing NBN box inside your house will be between $200-$800 depending on a few factors.

Are there any alternatives to moving the NBN Box?

Yes, of course! Depending on the exact reason why you want to move your NBN box, there could be alternate ways to resolve your problem. I’d say there are three main reasons why users may want to relocate their box.

The location of the box is impracticable or subject to overheating/water damage i.e in a garage, kitchen or bedroom.

You want to get the most speed out of your NBN connection and want it as close to your TV, PlayStation or computer as possible.

You wish to improve your wireless throughout the house.

Whaterver your reasons are; our team will be able to provide you the best advise to get the most out of your NBN connection

Generally, we would recommend installing a CAT6 data cable between your NTD and your desired modem or phone location. We generally recommend installing your ISP (Internet Service Provider) modem near your TV or home office and then distributing your internal cables from that central point out to your wireless access points and other peripherals around your home.

We always recommend installation a proper commercial yet affordable wireless access point (WAP) to ensure all your devices are connected to the internet without comprising on the speed.
