The rules are poorly worded. I understand that upstream of the router/modem (router to NBN network or router to phone exchange for ADSL2+) a registered cabler is required to do the work as this portion is seen as being a communications cables.
Downstream from the router to the LAN wall socket is not seen the same way as there is no direct connection to communications cable…there is the router in between. Such can ge done by an unregistered person
This interpretation is also of a brother-in-law that works for one of the telecoms companies. He indicated that a LAN could be disconnected or isolated from from the communications connection making it a different network to that of the communications network.
I see Choice has covered it in the past with different view…
