1. Have you moved house recently? You'll need to relocate your service online.
   
   You may need to switch to a different type of internet depending on what's available at your new address.
2. Find your modem and make sure that your SIM is inside the SIM slot. If the SIM is missing, please call us on 1300 994 533 to order a replacement.

3. Make sure that your modem's cables are plugged in securely and not damaged.
   
   You’ll need to replace any broken or chewed cables.

   Can't get a good signal? Give us a call on 1300 994 533 and we'll help you out.
7. Do you have any devices connected to your modem with an Ethernet cable? If these devices can visit a website but devices on Wi-Fi can’t, switch to troubleshooting Wi-Fi No Connection.
8. If you can view websites on some devices but not others, even when they’re both connected the same way, you may need to fix some browser settings. Check out our guide on Browsing issues.
9. Still can't get online? Please call us on 1300 994 533 and we’ll help you.

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

   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.

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.
