Netgear Orbi with TPG NBN

Got the question about the Orbi with NBN(FTTN).
I live in Perth and wanna buy Orbi (RKB23) with TPG NBN.
Do I need the router (TPG provided) to plug in Orbi router or just Orbi router itself?

Cheers.

I had a quick look at this Netgear Orbi and it doesn't seem to have an ADSL/VDLS port for NBN FTTN.

So yeah you still need to plug in your Orbi to the TPG Provided FTTN Modem

Thanks. But there is no Ethernet port on Huawei modem. Is it ok?

Hi @thomas2429 as @2fly has pointed out, the Netgear Orbi system will plug into the supplied modem no problem,

Either model that TPG supplies for FTTN will have 4 Ethernet ports, HG659 or VR1600v

@thomas2429 the 4 yellow ports are all Ethernet port. You can use any of those.
