Hi ALLSTI,

I'm channelling @Jeneral__Pain and doing a google search directs me to this Whirlpool thread or the one before it.

Thanks - I had managed to google myself prior to posting this question - those threads are not current and neither are the links provided  in them.  I was hoping to get more recent (2019) advice from an Optus NBN user who had gone through the same debarcle with Optus trying to install a new modem router with Voip.

Ah gotcha... have you searched Yes Crowd for "BYO router"

Here is one example: BYO Router with Optus NBN VoIP

Please provide some more detail of your issue (what trouble connecting?) - it will help resolve it. What form of NBN? I assume it's FTTN.

Rule of thumb for Optus NBN is to first connect the Optus modem-router until everything works, particularly VOIP. Then connect your own device. However, VOIP will only be available via the Optus device.
