How to change your nbn™ installation appointment.

You can check your installation appointment date through My Vodafone.

Vodafone Instant Connect with Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub™ while waiting for installation.

On selected plans with the Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub™, you can use Instant Connect to access the Vodafone mobile network for a maximum of 30 consecutive days or until your Vodafone nbn™ service is activated, depending on which occurs first. This means you won’t be without an internet connection prior to installation.

To get started, simply follow these quick steps to set up Instant Connect on your Wi-Fi Hub:

  • 1. Power up your Wi-Fi Hub
  • 2. After one minute, the “3G/4G” light on the front panel of your Wi-Fi Hub should turn green. This means your Instant Connect feature is now switched on.
  • 3. Connect your compatible Wi-Fi devices to the Wi-Fi Network Name (‘the SSID’) using the Wireless Key (‘the Wi-Fi password). You can find these details on your Wi-Fi Reminder Card or on the label underneath your Wi-Fi Hub. You may also choose to change the default Wi-Fi Network Name and Wireless Key to make them easier to remember.

You can use our coverage checker to see where mobile coverage is available. Max speeds are 12Mbps for downloads and 1Mbps for uploads, however actual speeds vary depending on your network coverage, content and location. Our Fair Use Policy applies.T&C apply.
