If your TPG Home Wireless Broadband service is running slowly, these steps will help you identify the issue.

 

1. Your service may just be affected by planned maintenance. You can check your address on our Network Status page.
   
   If there is planned maintenance, the results will give you an estimated fix time.
2. Find your modem and turn off its power outlet for at least 10 seconds.
3. Turn the outlet back on and wait 3-5 minutes for your modem to reboot.
4. Check the 4G light on your modem. If it's off or red, try moving your modem to a different spot.

5. Do you have any devices connected to your modem with an Ethernet cable? If speeds on these devices are fine but devices on Wi-Fi are slow, switch to Troubleshooting Wi-Fi speed.
6. Make sure your modem’s Ethernet cables are in good condition.
   
   You’ll need to replace any broken or chewed cables.
7. Your speed may temporarily slow down if you’re running more devices or apps than your connection can handle at the same time. For example, if a device is downloading a large file or running a 4K streaming app, your speed should improve when it’s finished.
   
   If you need to run more devices or apps at the same time, a different type of internet may better suit your needs. Please call us on 13 14 23 for support.
8. Run a scan on your antivirus/anti-malware software. If any infections are detected, make sure they are quarantined and removed.
   
   Contact your software’s Customer Support if you need help.
9. Still getting slow speeds? Please call us on 1300 994 533 and we’ll help you.

 

Your modem will take care of the hard stuff like internet settings, but we’ll need your help to plug it in. The main cables you need will come in the box, and you can grab extra Ethernet cables from the shops if you need them. 

Note: Your TPG 4G SIM is already inside your modem. Please don't remove it because the SIM won't work in other devices.

How to plug in your NetComm NL20 Modem for Home Wireless Broadband

1. Find a good spot for your modem. It's best to choose a clear, open location on a shelf or table - ideally near a window.
   
   You can try different spots if your first spot isn’t giving you a strong signal. Don't put your modem on the floor or inside a cupboard because this will cause a weak signal.
2. Use the power cable to plug your modem's Power port into a power outlet and press the ON/OFF button on the side of the modem.
   
3. Check the 4G light on the front your modem. If it's green or orange you’re online and you can start connecting your devices.

   No 4G light or can't get a good signal? Give us a call on 1300 997 271 and we'll help you out.
   
5. Connect your devices. If you have extra ethernet cables, you can connect 4 devices to your modem’s yellow LAN ports. 
   
   If you want to connect your devices via Wi-Fi, you have 3 options:
   • Use the Wi-Fi Network name and Password on your modem's barcode sticker.
   • Scan the QR code on your modem's barcode sticker (Smartphones only).
     
   • Enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) in your modem dashboard, then press the WPS button on the side of your modem for 3 seconds.
