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 Hamilton — and where it should be.
Federation home with the NBN box in an old central hallway; family wants the router in a north-facing open-plan kitchen-living zone.
Hamilton's Federation and Californian bungalow stock produces one of the more interesting NBN relocation patterns in Newcastle. The NBN Connection Box has usually been installed by NBN or an electrician in a central hallway, a rear laundry or an old external service alcove — all locations that pre-date the current living-zone layout in a modern Hamilton renovation. Meanwhile, most Hamilton renovations have opened up the rear of the home into a north-facing kitchen-living-dining space where the router should genuinely live. On top of that, Hamilton homes have often been through multiple renovation eras, which means the internal telephone line has bridge taps and unused sockets that can degrade FTTN sync. Netlink's Hamilton relocation work is usually a Cat6 tail from the existing NTD (or an internal socket) to the new open-plan zone, and quite often bundled with bridge-tap removal on the same visit.

NBN relocation in Hamilton — FAQs
Can Netlink move the router into my Hamilton open-plan extension?
Yes. This is one of the most common Hamilton relocation jobs — Federation and interwar homes in the postcode 2303 grid almost always need Cat6 from the existing NBN Connection Box (which usually sits in a central hallway or rear laundry) through the ceiling void to the new open-plan kitchen-living zone. On FTTN lines the visit is often bundled with bridge-tap removal to protect the sync speed on the internal cable.
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.
