Optus WiFi Booster Gen 2: Supported Modems and Setup

The Optus Ultra WiFi Booster Gen 2 works with specified Optus modems, including the Ultra WiFi 5G Internet Modem and NBN Ultra WiFi Modem Gen 2. It is not a universal Wi-Fi extender.

The Optus WiFi Booster Gen 2 search refers to Optus’s Ultra WiFi Booster (Gen 2), a provider-linked device rather than an unlocked universal extender. Optus lists compatibility with the Optus Ultra WiFi 5G Internet Modem and Optus NBN Ultra WiFi Modem Gen 2. The company directs customers to My Optus for purchase enquiries, so availability and eligibility should be checked with Optus.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Which modems work with the Optus WiFi Booster Gen 2?

Optus lists the Ultra WiFi 5G Internet Modem and NBN Ultra WiFi Modem Gen 2 as compatible. Check Optus support for the current list and your exact modem model.

Does the Optus Gen 2 booster work with a Nokia 5G modem?

Optus says the Gen 2 booster is not compatible with its Nokia Gen 1 or Gen 2 5G modems. Confirm the modem generation before arranging a booster.

How do I pair an Optus Ultra WiFi Booster Gen 2?

Optus documents Wi-Fi pairing and Ethernet pairing. Place the booster beside the compatible modem for pairing, follow the button sequence in the official guide, then move it to a suitable midpoint once its mesh indicator is solid green.

Can I use the Optus booster with another internet provider?

Optus describes it for compatible Optus-supplied modems. Its support pages do not establish compatibility with unrelated routers, so do not assume it will work as a universal repeater.

Where should the Optus booster go?

After pairing, Optus recommends placing it roughly halfway between the modem and the area needing coverage, away from thick walls and large appliances. A weak connection to the modem will limit its usefulness.
