Internode modems

Internode offers a range of modems available to buy when you sign up to an ADSL2+ or Naked DSL plan. While customers can always use their existing ADSL2+ modem or buy their own from another retailer, there are benefits to buying from Internode.

The modem will be pre-configured with your username and password and all Internode settings.

Every router includes an ADSL line filter/splitter plus the telephone and Ethernet cables you will need to get started. If you need additional filters, you can order these from Internode.
Internode offers technical support from Australian-based staff who have received training on the hardware. If you need a replacement, Internode will send one out.

All routers sold by Internode support ADSL2+ Annex A, M & L and are IPv6 capable. Prices range from a simple $99 modem to $399 for a top-of-the-range FRITZ!Box. To sign up to an Internode plan, call us on 1300 106 571 for more details.

FRITZ!Box 7270

This is Internode's recommended router. At $299, it is not a cheap option, but it is worthwhile if you take your home and office networking seriously. FRITZ!Box is a great quality device and can handle super-fast networking speeds as well as just about any application - fax, VoIP, telephone, IPTV - you may want to throw at it.

The FRITZ!Box is NBN and IPv6 ready and has a five-year warranty, so it’s a sound buy if you want a reliable modem that's not going to break down or become old tech overnight. The FRITZ!Box 7270 comes pre-configured for Internode's FetchTV service.
