Hi Team, 

 

I have a HFC connection at my premises. I'd like to get a new router as the current one does not provide enough coverage for my home. Do I need to connect a modem router or simply a router to my NBN connection box? 

 

Thanks,
PM

You can use either, your NBN box is actually the Modem

A Router is required for WiFi but make sure it has ethernet ports if you want to connect using an ethernet cable (always better for Netflix or home networking)

 

I hope that helps
