Setting up a non-Entity modem

If you have a modem that you didn't buy from Entity and want to connect it to your broadband, you can use these settings to get going.

You'll first need to check your modem's guide to ensure it is capable of connecting directly to Entity Fibre or broadband. (Some networking devices can only distribute Internet in 'Bridge Mode', so you might still need to use your Entity Modem.)
