Telstra T-Box Getting Started Manual page 6

INTERNET cONNEcTION
During set-up, you'll need to connect your T-Box
service via your modem. You can do this either by using a wired ethernet
connection or wirelessly. A range of optional home network extenders is also
available which can improve your home network connection. You can find out
more about home network extenders at the back of this guide.
Wired via ethernet – recommended
You can connect your T-Box device to your BigPond Broadband modem using the
yellow ethernet network cable provided. Your T-Box device will need to be close
to both your TV and the modem to let you connect.
Wired via a Home Network Extender (HNE)
If your modem is located in a different room or far away from your T-Box,
why not try a Home Network Extender to ensure the best experience for
streaming content to your T-Box. Home Network Extenders are devices, that
assist in higher signal strength for your modem, which means the chances of
video streaming interruption will be reduced and you can experience better
performance. Telstra offers and recommends two such devices called the
Ruckus™ and the Netgear
Ruckus
A Ruckus device sets up a point-to-point Wi-Fi connection, providing a reliable
wire-like connection that is adaptable to changes in the wireless environment
- and no configuration is required. Once powered on, the units will set up the
connection automatically.
