Getting Cable connected to your home

First you need to find a ISP and contact them asking if you can connect to Cable in your area. Or you can use this site to test it. http://www.telstraclear.co.nz/residential/inhome/internet/cable-broadband/network-coverage.cfm

If Cable is available in your area the ISP will create a account for you. They will contact telstraclear to send a technician to install a connection in your house and check your connection to the local cabinet.

Next you have the choice to purchase either a direct connection or using a router. A connection via a Router is best if you want to connect more than one machine to the internet.

Cable Router Settings

TelstraClear's Cable connection uses a ethernet interface on the back of the supplied modem.

The settings you need to enter into your PC or router are

There is no login name or password and the ip address are statically allocated so after this configuration you should be able to connect to the internet.

TelstraClear have also provided instructions and information on the cable modem here.
