You'll need to plug in your modem and change some settings to get it working with TPG nbn HFC.
-
First, make sure you’ve got a message from us asking you to plug in your nbn modem. We need to get your connection ready on our side before you plug in.
-
Find your phone wall socket and nbn Connection Box (NCB) – you probably already have a modem plugged in from your last internet service. Unplug any old modem from the NCB and power outlet.
If your NCB is missing, please call us on 1300 023 575. -
Use the Ethernet cable to connect your modem’s blue Internet port to your NCB's UNI-D1 port or 2.5G port.
-
Use the power cable to connect your modem's Power port to a power outlet. Press your modem's Power button to turn it on.
- To connect devices to the WiFi, you'll find the default WiFi name and password on your modem's barcode sticker.
- If you have extra Ethernet cables, you can connect up to 4 devices to your modem’s yellow Ethernet ports.
-
Open your web browser and go to: https://192.168.0.1
-
Log in with the default username "admin" and the default password "admin" on your modem's barcode sticker. If you have custom login details, use those instead.
-
Select Advanced > Network > Internet.
-
Set Internet Connection Type to PPPoE.
-
Enter your TPG username and password.
Your TPG username can be found in emails from us about your TPG order. If you've forgotten your password, reset your password. -
Hit Save.
-
If you have a bundled nbn & phone plan: Select IPTV and tick the Enable box. For ISP Profile, select Custom and enter 2 for Internet VLAN ID. For Internet VLAN Priority, enter 0. Tick the box for 8021Q Tag. For IP-Phone VLAN ID and IPTV VLAN ID, enter any random number between 2 and 4049.
-
Hit Save and you're good to go.

-
Restart the handset by disconnecting its power and Ethernet cables for 10 seconds, then reconnect.
-
Ensure that your internet connection is not suffering any issues when audio quality issues are experienced. Select your broadband service from the TPG Support to get troubleshooting guides for TPG broadband connections.
-
Similarly, check if audio quality issues are only occurring when a high-demand function is carried out on your network, such as large file uploads, system updates or content streaming. If possible, schedule these functions to run automatically outside of business hours to avoid impact on your BizPhone service.
-
A common cause for audio quality issues is insufficient throughput to provide consistent audio. To check this, disconnect other devices (e.g. computers, mobile phones etc.) from your network until only your BizPhone handset(s) are connected, then make a test call.
-
If the audio quality was fine while your BizPhone was isolated, begin connecting devices again, one by one. After each device is reconnected, make another test call. If audio quality degrades again, the device that was just reconnected may be exceeding your network's throughput capacity.
-
Run the BizPhone connection test and check the MOS score on the summary page - a score of 4 or lower will most likely result in audio quality issues. Additionally, make a note of the test result number from both the Speed and VoIP tests.
-
Ensure that the SIP ALG setting is disabled in your modem settings by checking the VoIP test results from your BizPhone connection test.
Note: TPG modems have this setting disabled by default. -
Consider enabling QOS (Quality of Service) settings in your modem to allot of a portion of your connection bandwidth for VoIP services only. This can greatly reduce the risk of audio quality issues.

How to check registration
To confirm the handset is registered, check that your handset shows a name in the bottom half of the screen:
Note: If your handset is registered but cannot receive calls, it may be DND (Do Not Disturb) mode. To turn this off, press the OK button to enter the main menu. Select Call Features > Do Not Disturb, use the left and right arrow keys to toggle between "Enable" and "Disable, then Save. Calls should connect to the handset again.
Troubleshooting Network Unavailable or Handset not registering
-
Confirm that you can access the internet on a device that's connected to the same internet connection as your BizPhone handset.
-
Make sure your handset is successfully registered by checking the screen (see advice above).
-
Check your handset is getting an IP address by pressing the OK button, selecting the Status tab in the top left corner and pressing OK. The handset should display an IPv4 address.
-
Restart your modem.
-
Restart your handset by disconnecting the power and Ethernet cables for 10 seconds, then reconnect.
-
If your handset fails to register, try connecting the cordless base station directly to your modem using an alternate Ethernet cable or LAN port.
-
Is your network set up to deliver static IP addresses to connected devices? BizPhone hardware must be assigned an IP address via DHCP.
-
To confirm your network allows access to the required server, Windows users should run an NSLookup test.
-
Factory reset your handset by pressing the OK button, then select Settings > System settings > Base reset and enter the PIN "0000". When the handset resets, it will automatically download the configuration from the BPX server.
-
Run the BizPhone connection test and make a note of the test result number from both the Speed and VoIP tests.
-
If you’re still unable to make or receive calls, please email bizphonesupport@tpg.com.au with your test result numbers and reference this troubleshooting article.
How to check registration
Check the handset screen for the following icons:
Icon | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
Network unavailable | The handset is not connecting to a network. Confirm your internet connection is online and cables are connected correctly. | |
Registered successfully | The handset is connected to a network and the BizPhone server. You should be able to make and receive calls. | |
Register failed | The handset is connected to a network but cannot register with our server. Calls cannot be made or received in this state. | |
Registering | The handset is attempting to register to the BizPhone server. Calls cannot be made or received in this state. |
Note: If your handset is registered but cannot receive calls, check the DND (Do Not Disturb) status on your handset screen. Press the DND soft key on your handset to turn this off. Calls should connect to the handset again.
Troubleshooting Network Unavailable or Handset not registering
-
Confirm that you can access the internet on a device that's connected to the same internet connection as your BizPhone handset.
-
Make sure your handset is connected correctly to your modem or network switch.
-
Restart your handset by disconnecting the Ethernet and power cable from the back, then reconnect.
-
Check your handset is getting an IP address by pressing the OK button once. The handset should display connection options, including an IPv4 address.
-
Restart your modem.
-
If no IP address is given after the modem restart, try using an alternate Ethernet cable between your handset and modem.
-
Connect your handset directly to the modem, bypassing any internal office cabling you may have been using.
-
Connect your handset to an alternate LAN port on the back of your modem or network switch.
-
Factory reset your handset by holding the OK button for 10 seconds. While the handset is resetting, keep your eye on the screen to ensure it is trying to connect to the correct server.
-
If your handset still doesn't show an IP address, Windows users should run an NSLookup test.
-
Unplug your handset from the modem's LAN port and plug a computer into the same LAN port. Check if the computer can get online.
-
Is your network set up to deliver static IP addresses to connected devices? BizPhone hardware must be assigned an IP address via DHCP.
-
Run the BizPhone connection test and make a note of the test result number from both the Speed and VoIP tests.
-
If you’re still unable to make or receive calls, please email bizphonesupport@tpg.com.au with your test result numbers and reference this troubleshooting article.
