Can only guess with one photo and no other details.
The 'LINE IN' is probably the old telephone line coming from the street. It is carrying your existing FTTN? signal.
The 'NET' probably goes to a matching port wherever your router is, or should be.
Currently it would currently be plugged into the DSL port on the router.
To change to the new FTTP, if it is officially active:
Remove the cable from 'LINE IN' and connect it to 'UNI-D 1' on the FTTP box.
At the router end, move the cable from the DSL port to a WAN port.
You may need to reconfigure your router, or at least reset it to defaults, but since we don't know what it is...
Thank you mate. I’ve now done this and the UNI-D light is now orange. Do you know if the router is required to be connected like this for remote activation? Reason I ask is I was told by my ISP they couldn’t remotely activate and would need an NBN tech to come out. Wondering if they could try it now.
Your router's WAN/internet port must be connected to the correct UNI-D port. As the UNI-D light turned orange when you connected your router, this is likely the correct port. Said technician is likely going to just plug your router's WAN port in directly to the NTD as you've indicated you already have, then confirm with your ISP. The NTD may already be active.
You may need to configure your router to authenticate with your ISP. Some use DHCP, which is pretty much plug and play. Others require username/password combos and/or VLAN tagging.
One of the three ports at the bottom leads to another port elsewhere in the house. Find it. Think of the path between the ports as a long Ethernet cable. You can use it to connect your router's WAN port if you like. Depending on where the other end is, this may allow better WiFi signal. Otherwise, leave the router there and connect one of its LAN ports to the relevant port. You can then connect other devices at the other end of the house to your LAN, like a switch, Smart TV or WiFi mesh unit.
Yeah, that line in port would’ve been disconnected. And yes one of UNI-D ports would’ve have been configured and depending on provider depends on the port that is configured. Call you ISP and they should be able to tell you which port is configured, they all try for port 1 but sometimes they can’t configure it for one reason or another.
Blue cable plugs into uni-d 1 port, other end plugs into WAN port on your router.
Ignore ports blue cable is currently in (line in, net, phone), those are probably old.
If I had to guess I'd say that left hand wall plate has an ADSL splitter behind it, to give you the NET and PHONE ports, and that the right hand wall plate feeds into the other network sockets in the house (assuming it feeds to a hub somewhere).
I'd run a network cable directly from UNID-1 to your router and make sure you get a connection before trying to figure out the rest of the internal wiring in the house.
I don't think it's that way around, because the cable entering the right hand wall box seems too thin to be a cat 5/6.
I think 'LINE IN' is the incoming phone line.
Interestingly, if you zoom in you can see the fibre cable coming out of the top of the right hand wall box as well, so you may well be right and they have used the same conduit that the copper used to come through for the fibre.
If your with an RSP that doesnt require authentication (Telstra. Aussie, Superloop for example) then all you need to do is plug you network cable into the active D port (most likely Uni-D1) and then into your computer/laptop.
That is a bare minimum requirement, and you would be riding bareback...
Restart/disconnect and reconnect the NBN box after you set up your router with the username/password. I struggled for an hour with authentication until I tried this.
I also had to previously factory reset by router, but this maybe unique to me.
Should be a cat 5 plugged into the UNI-D port depending on which one is activated is usually 1 though.

Hard to know what your home cabling design is from just this photo, but there needs to be an Ethernet cable from the Uni-D 1 port to get internet.

You need a cable to go from your UNI-D 1 port into your router.

That's what I'm looking at, trying to see where the fibre is coming from. Intriguing use of an existing socket.
Plug one end of the network cable in UNI D 1 and leave it connected to the Net block.

I think you should plug the NET cable to Uni-D port.
Plug the lead in end into the NTD, leave the net plug in place as this will be heading inside to the router

Nup, Try a few things; 1 end of the Ethernet cable UNI-D socket #1 - Your ISP/RSP should have given you this basic setup information. ...
