How do I set up my Gigabox+ modem?
What's the difference between the Gigabox+ modem and the Gigabox modem?
The Gigabox+ is our most advanced modem yet and available exclusively with our Gigabit 2000 Fibre package. Some of its top features include:
WiFi 6
WiFi 6 is the next generation of WiFi and brings more than just faster speeds. This latest WiFi technology delivers greater capacity, reliable performance and longer battery life for connected devices.
- Greater capacity: The top speed of the Gigabox in the 5Ghz band is 1.8Gbps, the new Gigabox+ modem in the 5Ghz band can deliver 4.8Gbps.
- More reliable performance: Improved interference avoidance in the 2.4Ghz band due to BSS Coloring. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) more effectively shares channels to increase network efficiency and lower latency for both uplink and downlink traffic in high demand environments
- Longer battery life for connected devices: WiFi 6 will help reduce the amount of battery usage required on your smart phone or devices when connected to the internet due to more efficient radio usage technology allowing the devices to only broadcast/receive when there is available airtime for them. Currently devices broadcast promiscuously as they are not aware whether there is airtime available or not.

Prioritisation Feature - Premium QoS
The Gigabox+ provides for a new Third SSID WiFi interface that will have higher uplink priority than main WiFi. This also applies to the LAN interface as the LAN4 uplink will have higher priority than other LAN ports when premium QoS is enabled.
For example, imagine you are working from home and your child is streaming a movie in the living room. With this feature, you can join a prioritised third network which will give your traffic priority over the network to ensure you have the best quality work video calls that can be provided.
Eco-Friendly
The Gigabox+ has the following environment sustainability elements:
- Use of at least 30% of recycled plastic in the product housing
- Use of 100% recycled outer packaging (brown box)
