Netlink is an independent provider of customer-side telecommunications cabling — not an internet provider, not NBN Co and not an authorised NBN contractor. Registered cablers may only alter relevant NBN facilities where permitted under applicable NBN Authority to Alter requirements, and some relocation work must be referred to your provider or NBN.
Where the NBN box usually ends up in Belmont — and where it should be.
Lake-side cottage with NBN Connection Box on a rear service wall; family wants the router in the lake-view lounge.
Belmont NBN relocation calls come mainly from two property types. In the older lake-side weatherboard cottages, the NBN Connection Box has typically been installed against a rear service wall, a fair distance from the lake-view lounge room. In the mid-century brick-veneer stock across the flat central blocks, the NTD is often mounted next to the meter box on an external gable-end wall, which puts the router at the opposite end of the home from the family. On the newer townhouse and dual-occupancy infills, the NBN Connection Box has typically been placed in whichever internal storage cupboard the rough-in cabler could reach — the router ends up buried. Netlink's Belmont approach is nearly always a Cat6 tail through the ceiling void or an internal cavity to land the router at the correct wall inside the family living area.

NBN relocation in Belmont — FAQs
The NBN box is on the wrong side of my Belmont townhouse — can Netlink move it?
In almost every Belmont townhouse the more economical answer is to leave the NBN Connection Box in its cupboard (where NBN installed it) and run a short Cat6 tail into the living-room wall next to the TV. That keeps the NBN-supplied equipment untouched, does not trigger any Authority to Alter engagement, and lands the router exactly where the family lives. Netlink assesses the property first and recommends the physical NTD move only if a Cat6 tail genuinely won't work.
Is it cheaper to move the router or move the NBN box?
In almost every home, moving the router (or running Ethernet from the NTD to a better router position) is significantly cheaper and quicker than moving the NBN Connection Box itself. Because moving the router does not touch NBN-supplied equipment, no Authority to Alter is triggered and the whole job is customer-side cabling work.
Can I move my NBN box myself?
No. The NBN Connection Box (NTD) is NBN-supplied equipment and any physical relocation must be performed by an appropriately-registered cabler working under the applicable NBN Authority to Alter requirements. Some relocation work must still be referred to your internet provider or NBN.
How long does an NBN box relocation take?
Straightforward router relocations with a short Cat6 run typically complete in one visit of a few hours. Physical NTD relocation, multi-storey homes and cases needing Authority to Alter engagement can take longer and may involve a follow-up visit.
