A Sydney student on an Origin 250Mbps plan had just moved in and could not get online. They had taken their provider-supplied Eero router and plugged its incoming cable into a wall socket in the living room — the nearest one — and assumed that was the connection point. It was not. Over an 18-minute video call we had them search the flat, and the real NBN connection box turned out to be sitting inside a bedroom wardrobe, with no power light on at all.
悉尼一位用 Origin 250兆 套餐的同学刚搬进新家、怎么都上不了网。他把运营商配的 Eero 路由器的进线,插到了客厅里离得最近的一个墙上网口,以为那就是入户接口。其实不是。视频指导18分钟里,我们让他把家里都找一遍,真正的 NBN 进线盒竟然在卧室的衣柜里,而且指示灯完全没亮——根本没通电。
The internet does not come from just any wall socket — it starts at the NBN connection box, which needs its own power and one correct cable to the router's WAN port. Here the box was hidden and switched off, and the Eero's cable was in an unrelated living-room socket, so nothing could ever connect.网络并不是从随便哪个墙口来的——它的起点是 NBN 进线盒,这个盒子需要自己通电、并有一根正确的网线接到路由器的 WAN 口。这次盒子既被藏起来、又没开电,Eero 的进线还插在客厅一个不相干的墙口上,自然怎么都连不上。

Root cause: the NBN connection box was unpowered and hidden in a bedroom wardrobe, and the Eero's WAN cable was in an unrelated living-room socket. Powered up and wired correctly, the Origin-provisioned Eero came online and tested the full ~250 Mbps across the flat — all over an 18-minute video call.
根因:NBN 进线盒没通电、还藏在卧室衣柜里,Eero 的进线又插在客厅一个不相干的墙口上。通电并正确接线后,这台已内置 Origin 配置的 Eero 顺利上网,全屋实测约 250 兆——整个过程只用了 18 分钟视频指导。
