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 Smart Home Gateway (VX420-G2H) for Home Wireless Broadband
-
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. -
Use the power cable to plug your modem's Power port into a power outlet and press the ON/OFF button.
-
Leave your modem alone for 3-5 minutes while it runs through its automatic setup.
-
Check the 4G light on your modem. If it's green or yellow, you’re online with a good signal and you can start connecting your devices.
-
If the 4G light is off or red, try moving your modem to a different spot.
No 4G light or can't get a good signal? Give us a call on 1300 997 271 and we'll help you out. - You'll find the default Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password on your modem's barcode sticker. If you want to change your Wi-Fi name and password, use this guide.
- Your devices will automatically connect to the best Wi-Fi possible. If your Wi-Fi’s running slow, check out Improving Wi-Fi Signal.
- For HD streaming, Ethernet is better than Wi-Fi. If you have extra Ethernet cables, you can connect up to 4 devices to your modem’s yellow LAN ports.

It's important to tell us when you're moving so we can move your TPG services with you. Some internet services take time to connect, especially if equipment needs to be installed at your new address, so let us know as soon as possible.
A different type of internet may be available at your new address.
Do you only have TPG Mobile? You don't need to relocate a mobile service, but it's good idea to check your new address on our coverage map.
-
You can relocate your 5G Home Broadband or Home Wireless Broadband service in My Account.
Have a different type of TPG internet? Call us on 1300 865 124 and we'll help you out. -
Log in and hit Moving Home.
Never used My Account before? Check out An Introduction to My Account. -
Tick the box t confirm that you're the account holder or have the account holder's permission for the move.

Most modems can support up to 300Mbps over Wi-Fi and up to 600Mbps over Ethernet, but your actual speeds will vary due to many factors including the type of internet plan you have, your modem's capability, and internet traffic demand.
If you choose to BYO modem instead of getting a TPG modem, your modem must meet certain technical requirements for optimal performance on our nbn Superfast & nbn Ultrafast plans.
Select one of the links below to jump to a query:
- High speed nbnⓇ modem requirements
- Compatible modems that we've tested on our high speed nbnⓇ plans
- Modems that won't work on our high speed nbnⓇ plans
High speed nbnⓇ modem requirements
Your modem must support or feature:
- PPPoE connection types with VLAN tagging
- Gigabit Ethernet ports
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ac) or later
We also recommend:
- Connecting devices via Ethernet Cable instead of Wi-Fi
- Getting a Mesh network for better Wi-Fi signal in a large property
Important: If you choose to use an older modem that doesn't have Gigabit Ethernet ports or Wi-Fi 6, your connection may be slower. We recommend using connecting devices by Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi to get the best possible experience.
Compatible modems that we've tested on our high speed nbnⓇ plans
All modems listed here are capable of achieving the Typical Evening Speed of our nbn Superfast and nbn Ultrafast plans. This table tells you about the modem's ability to support the maximum speed of these nbn plans.
There may be other models on the market that we haven't tested yet. If your modem isn't listed here, please contact the manufacturer for more info.

^While the nbn Ultrafast Plan has a maximum theoretical off-peak download speed of 500Mbps on nbn HFC and 990Mbps on nbn FTTP, you will typically experience significantly slower speeds than this due to a range of factors, no matter which modem you use. The Typical Evening Speed will give you a more accurate estimate the speeds you'll experience.
Modems that won't work on our high speed nbnⓇ plans
