Find your modem and turn off its power outlet for at least 10 seconds.
-
Turn the outlet back on and wait for your modem’s Internet light to come on, then run a speed test.
-
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.
-
Make sure that the device you’re using to run speeds tests is the only one connected to your modem. Unplug all other devices from your modem’s Ethernet ports and turn off other devices that are connected to the Wi-Fi.
-
On your one device, close all other apps using the internet, then run a speed test.
-
If your speed has improved on a single device, you may be running more devices or apps than your connection can handle at the same time. Some apps run in the background - you should close them if you don't need them.
- If you use Windows, you can press CTRL+ALT+DELETE on your keyboard and then open the Task Manager to see what's running.
- If you have a Mac, you can see all the apps running in the Dock at the bottom of the screen. -
Make sure your modem’s Ethernet cables are in good condition, with “CAT6” or “CAT5e” printed on them.
Older Cat5 Ethernet cables are not recommended for nbn services. You’ll need to replace any broken or chewed cables.
-
Run a scan on your antivirus/anti-malware software. If your software includes any firewalls, temporarily disable them and run a speed test to see if they’re slowing down your internet.
If any infections are detected, make sure they are quarantined and removed. Contact your software’s Customer Support if you need help.
-
Still getting slow speeds? Please call us on 1300 997 274 or lodge a fault with the My TPG App (iOS or Android) and we’ll help you.
Log in to the My TPG app and hit Your Internet Speed, then Test Your Speed. If your speed is below the acceptable range, you can hit Lodge Fault and submit the form.
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: Some homes will have a Network Termination Unit (NTU). If your place has never been connected to TPG Fibre before, an NTU will be delivered with your modem if you need one.

If your TPG nbn HFC service is offline, you won’t be able to visit a website, browse, stream, or download. Email and any other services that use the internet will not work. These steps will help you identify the issue.

Your service may just be affected by an outage or planned maintenance. You can check your address on nbn®'s Network status and outages page and our Network Status page.
If there is an outage or planned maintenance, the results will give you an estimated fix time. -

Find your nbn modem and make sure the cables are plugged in securely and not damaged. Our setup guide will show you how to plug in.
You’ll need to replace any broken or chewed cables. If you have an advanced setup with a network switch, it must be plugged into a router instead of directly into the nbn Connection Device (NCD).
-
Turn off the power outlets for your modem and nbn Connection Device (NCD) for at least 10 seconds.
-
Turn the outlets back on and wait for your modem’s Internet light to come on, then see if you can visit a website.
- 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.
- 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.
