Broadband Gear

Are you a Bigpond Cable customer or a potential Optus Cable customer?

Not sure what devices will be compatible for your service?

Then this section will help you select the best device for you.  All devices discussed here have been tested and proven to work on Bigpond Cable.

Whilst we don’t sell cable modems specifically; we do have a lot of devices to expand and share your connection.

Want to share your connection amongst multiple devices?

The Netgear FS605 5-port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch will let you share your connection to 5 wired devices.  If you need to connect more devices, then we have the Netgear FS608 8-port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch which has 8 wired ports.  Need a router then the OPEN524R internet sharing router is a value for money choice.

Looking to share your cable connection wirelessly within your home or office?

If you would like to create wireless network to share your broadband connection then we recommend the Netgear WGR614 Wireless Router.

From the more serious users that plan to transfer large volumes of data across their wireless network you may want to consider the Minitar MWNAP Wireless-N Access Router and MWNU Wireless-N USB Adapter.

A great entry level device is the OPEN812L VoIP ATA. This allows you to keep your existing phone and phone service, but utilise your internet connection to make cheap VoIP calls.

Alternatively we have the EasyChat210, an all in one solution which also allows you to make the VoIP calls and keep your existing phone line, but has a cordless DECT phone built in.

Not sure about how you would set up these devices?

We can do the setup for you.  Just choose the configuration you need from our configuration options.

All products come with a minimum one year warranty (2 in most cases) and all the accessories you should need to get started.

Of course if you are still confused or would like some help, you can always ask a question on-line from our Live Help Chat or call us on 1300 795 811 for advice.
