What is Fixed Wireless?

Fixed Wireless nbn™ beams your connection from a nearby nbn tower to a small antenna on the outside of your home, using radio signals rather than a cable. It's mainly used in regional and outer-suburban areas where running physical cable isn't practical.

Performance can be affected by your distance from the tower, how many people share it during peak evening hours, and severe weather — so we'll always tell you what to expect at your address before you sign up.

Great for

  • Regional homes and farms beyond the fixed-line network
  • Streaming, browsing and video calls
  • Home offices and small businesses
  • Households that want no lock-in contract

Trusted by the communities we serve

After years with the big providers, switching to Lightning IP was night and day. When I had a connection issue during a work day, I spoke to a real person within two minutes. They fixed it and followed up the next day. That kind of service does not exist with the big companies.

Frequently asked questions

Fixed Wireless nbn™ beams your connection from a nearby nbn tower to a small antenna installed on the outside of your home, usually on the roof. The antenna is connected by cable to an nbn Connection Box (sometimes referred to as an NTD) inside your home, where you plug in your modem.

Fixed Wireless performance can be affected by your distance from the tower, the number of other people connected to the same tower (especially during peak evening hours), and severe weather. nbn Co publishes typical speeds for peak (7pm–11pm) and off-peak periods separately for Fixed Wireless, because the difference can be more noticeable than on fibre-based technologies.

There is no minimum term. All of our plans are month-to-month, so you are never locked in. You can upgrade, downgrade, suspend, or cancel your service at any time without penalty fees.

You can use your own compatible modem or router - just make sure it supports your nbn connection type. If you would prefer a pre-configured device that works straight out of the box, we offer a range of modem options you can add to your order.

A static IP address is an optional add-on that permanently assigns a fixed public IP address to your connection. It is particularly useful for remote access, running servers or VPNs, and certain business applications. Contact our team to add this to your plan.

Depending on the service ordered, there may be additional up-front charges, which are set out in our terms and policies. These can include phone line activation, copper line installation, lead-in or additional cabling, equipment, missed appointment fees and complex on-site work.

nbn Co may also charge a one-off new development fee for deploying network infrastructure to new premises.
