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 Warners Bay — and where it should be.
Lake-facing home with the NTD in a rear laundry; family wants the router in the lake-view living room.
Warners Bay NBN relocation calls almost always come from lake-facing homes where the router ends up too far from where the family actually lives. In the older cottages closer to The Esplanade the NTD is often in a rear laundry or side-entry closet — a long way from the lake-view living zone. On the elevated western streets climbing up Hill Street and Ambrose Street, split-level rebuilds frequently have the NTD in a lower storey with the main living area upstairs. Salt-laden onshore breezes also mean any external cable path benefits from properly-sealed weatherproof entries. Netlink's Warners Bay relocation approach is nearly always a Cat6 tail from the existing NBN Connection Box through the roof space or an internal cavity to the correct room — the NBN box itself stays where NBN installed it.

NBN relocation in Warners Bay — FAQs
Do I need to worry about salt air for the relocation cabling?
Only for any external cabling segment. Internal Cat6 through the ceiling void or wall cavity is unaffected by salt air. Where a new external entry point is required at the wall — for example a fresh weatherproof seal on the NBN lead-in — Netlink uses coastally-rated fittings and seals the penetration correctly to prevent moisture ingress from onshore breezes.
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.
