- Confirm that your Micro SIM card is present and fully inserted in the Micro SIM slot located on the side of your modem. If the SIM card is missing, please call us on 1300 788 233.
Note: Your SIM card slot may be covered by a black sticker to prevent tampering.
- Ensure your modem is connected correctly, with cables in good condition and plugged in securely. The SIM card must be fully inserted in the SIM slot.
- Turn off the electrical outlet for your modem and leave it off for at least 10 seconds.
- Turn the outlet back on and wait approximately 3 minutes for the modem lights to settle, then attempt to view a website.
- If the 4G light is off or red, move your modem to another location, ideally near a window and away from direct sunlight.
Note: If your 4G and/or Internet lights remain off after rebooting, please call us on 1300 788 233 for assistance. - If you're testing on a WiFi device, stand next to your modem to rule out any WiFi signal issues. Move further away and monitor the WiFi signal strength.
- If you lose your WiFi connection in certain parts of your home, see our guide on improving WiFi signals.
- Attempt to view a website on a device connected to your modem via Ethernet cable, not WiFi. If Ethernet works but WiFi doesn't, confirm that the WiFi lights on your modem are on.
Note: Pressing the WiFi button on the side of the modem will turn WiFi on/off. WiFi may have been turned off accidentally. - If you still can't get online, please call us on 1300 788 233 for further assistance.
