Now TV Broadband Router Settings

You may want to replace the NowTV Broadband Router if you're experiencing poor wifi or slow speeds. When we asked for a replacement router, NOWTV wanted to sign us up for a new 12-month contract (I don't think so!) So read on and we'll show you how to set up the best router for Now Broadband.

Buy the best router for NOW Broadband

There is no way to use your own router with the Now Broadband service unless it supports MPoA and option 61. There is no PPPOE or PPPOA option. Only a small number of routers allow you to connect to their broadband service. They do not use usernames and passwords and technical support has no record of them as they don't exist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Now TV Broadband Router Login?

The default username is admin and the password for the Now Broadband router is nowtv. Once logged in, we suggest setting your own password to prevent unauthorised access to your router.

How many LAN ports does the NOW Broadband router have?

The router only has 2 network ports unfortunately. We suggest replacing your router. By using your own router, you'll benefit from enhanced wifi, extra network ports, being able to set your own DNS servers and having full control of your device. You'll also be able to connect to a VPN service without using dial up.

Can I change the DNS Servers on my NOW Broadband Router?

No you cannot unless you change your router. There is no option to set your own DNS servers other than to set them manually on your computers network card settings.

Is the NOW Broadband Router Any Good?

The router will connect you to the internet and provide you with wifi access. However, for more enhanced functions, you'll struggle. It is limited to 2 network ports and the inability to configure your own DNS servers like Googles 8.8.8.8. This means they track all of your search history. We like to have control of our data and the equipment we use. For better performing wifi and a wider range of configurable options, buy your own router.
