*Typical Evening Speeds are subject to change and are measured from 7pm to 11pm. Speeds are not guaranteed and may vary due to the number of users, Wi-Fi signal strength, network infrastructure, network congestion and more.
You may experience slower speeds than the applicable maximum during busy periods and other times.
Factors that may affect your speed and connection
Your modem and where it’s placed
- Make sure your modem is in a clear, central location in your home, on a desk or shelf without much clutter. An elevated space near a window is ideal.
- Modems should not be placed on the ground, shut in cabinets, or crowded by other objects.
- Keep your modem out of direct sunlight to reduce the risk of overheating.
The quality and capability of your modem, cables and devices
Older devices may not support the newer types of Wi-Fi. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for information about your device’s capabilities. Any damaged devices or Ethernet cables should be repaired or replaced.
Network congestion
During periods of congestion, your service may be subject to data de-prioritisation so we can manage the traffic on the Vodafone Network, and you may experience slower speeds than usual.
The weather
Extreme heat or rain in your area or at the network base station can affect the speed of your service.
Signal interference
Predicted and actual fixed wireless coverage may vary due to the nature of radio-based mobile networks. Other factors affecting signal include distance from the network base station, building materials, and geographic features such as hills, buildings and trees.
Latency
Latency is the amount of time it takes for data packets to go from one place to another on an internet connection, which is important for ultra-time-sensitive apps like multiplayer shooting games.
- Home Wireless Broadband may not be suitable for online gaming.
- 5G Home Broadband is suitable for casual online gaming.
- Large files might be slow to load on either service.
Wi-Fi signal interference
The quality of your Wi-Fi signal may vary due to the number of devices you have connected, distance from your modem, the location of your modem, the type of Wi-Fi network (5GHz vs. 2.4GHz Wi-Fi) and any obstacles between your devices and your modem. Learn how to improve your Wi-Fi signal.
How many devices you have connected
When too many devices are being used at the same time, particularly for large downloads or HD/4K streaming, there may not be enough bandwidth to go around. This can limit the flow of data flow for all devices and cause slow speeds.
Which content is being accessed
Particular issues may affect a specific website or online game, such as insufficient server capacity.
Here's what the status lights mean on your Smart Modem Gateway (VX420-G2H).
| Light | States and meaning |
|---|---|
| Power | Off = No power. Green = Your modem has power. |
| DSL | Off = Your modem doesn't have a DSL connection. There may be an outage if your internet uses DSL. Green = Your modem has a DSL connection. This light flashes during initial connection. |
| 4G | Off = No connection to the 4G network. Green = Your modem is connected to 4G with a strong signal. Orange = Your modem is connected to 4G with an OK signal. Red = Your modem is connected to 4G a weak signal. |
| Internet | Off = Your modem is offline. There may be a problem with the modem settings or its username and password. Green = Your modem is online. |

| WAN | Off = Nothing is plugged into the WAN port. Green = A device is plugged into the WAN port. |
| LAN 1-4 | Off = Nothing is plugged into the LAN ports. Green = At least one device is plugged into the LAN ports. |
| Phone | Off = You don't have an iiNet VoIP phone service. Green = Your iiNet VoIP phone is online. This light flashes when the phone is ringing, and blinks slowly when a voicemail is waiting. |
| WPS | Off = Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) isn't currently being used. Green = This light flashes when a Wi-Fi device is trying to connect via WPS, and will stay on for about 5 minutes after a successful connection. |
| USB | Off = Nothing is plugged into the USB port. Green = A device is plugged into the USB port. This light flashes when a new USB device is connected, and when data is being transferred. |
Note for nbn services with 4G Backup: Whenever your modem’s 4G light is lit, that means your modem has automatically connected to the 4G Backup service because your nbn service is unavailable, such as during initial setup or network maintenance. Your nbn Phone will not work while 4G Backup is in use.
Once you're connected to nbn, if you notice the 4G Backup service has turned back on for an extended period of time:
- Restart your modem.
- Make sure your modem is plugged in correctly for nbn.
- Contact us if the issue persists as we may need to investigate.
Checking the status lights may be useful during setup and troubleshooting.

Here's everything you need to know about iiNet 4G Home Wireless Broadband.
Select one of the links below to jump to a query:
- What is Home Wireless Broadband?
- Where is Home Wireless Broadband available?
- How long does it take to get connected to Home Wireless Broadband?
- How fast is Home Wireless Broadband?
- What hardware do I need for Home Wireless Broadband?
- Can I use Home Wireless Broadband for online gaming?
- What is CG-NAT and how does it affect Home Wireless Broadband services?
- How does the 7-day trial for existing iiNet customers work?
- Does Home Wireless Broadband include a phone service?
- How does Virtual Phone for existing iiNet customers work?
What is Home Wireless Broadband?
Home Wireless Broadband is a Fixed Wireless broadband service powered by our 4G mobile network. It's a great alternative to fixed line broadband services such as nbn®.
Where is Home Wireless Broadband available?
Home Wireless Broadband is available within our 4G coverage area. You can check your address on our website.
Important: Home Wireless Broadband is only for use within Australia at the address nominated on your order. If you need to move house, please contact us so we can check coverage at your new address.
How long does it take to get connected to Home Wireless Broadband?
Not long - you can get online as soon as you have your iiNet modem. Delivery takes 2-5 business days.
How fast is Home Wireless Broadband?
There's a few different factors that affect the speeds you'll get. Check out Factors affecting Fixed Wireless broadband speed for everything you need to know.
What hardware do I need for Home Wireless Broadband?
We'll send you a modem when you order iiNet Home Wireless Broadband - you'll need to use it, because other modems won't work. You can connect your own WiFi router to your iiNet modem if you'd like.
Note: Some connections may need to use the extra antennae that comes with their iiNet modem. Please don't attach these antennae unless we tell you to, as using the antennae unnecessarily can actually worsen performance.
Can I use Home Wireless Broadband for online gaming?
Home Wireless Broadband may not be suitable for online gaming due to its higher connection latency, which is the amount of time it takes for data packets to go from one place to another on an internet connection. Low latency is important for ultra-time-sensitive stuff like multiplayer shooting games or battle MMORPGs.
What is CG-NAT and how does it affect Home Wireless Broadband services?
Home Wireless Broadband uses Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (CG-NAT), which assigns each service with a private IP address instead of a dynamic public IP address. Our network will then translate that private address into a public address.
Some things need internal NAT to work properly. CG-NAT means that the following items won't work on Home Wireless Broadband:
- Port forwarding
- Hosting web, email or file servers internally
- Smart Home systems (e.g. accessing security camera footage remotely, home automation and printers)
- Remote Access (i.e. accessing your home computer or devices from another location)
If you have any of these in your home setup, Home Wireless Broadband isn't right for you. Please check your address on our website for another type of iiNet internet.
How does the 7-day trial for existing iiNet customers work?
A 7-day trial is available for iiNet customers with an existing nbn® or Ultra Broadband service.
- Once you’re connected to Home Wireless Broadband, your existing iiNet nbn or Ultra Broadband service will stay connected for 7 days.
- If you’re not happy with Home Wireless Broadband, you can call us to switch back to nbn or Ultra Broadband during the 7-day trial.
- If we haven't heard from you after 7 days, your nbn or Ultra Broadband service will be automatically disconnected.
Note: If you choose to keep your nbn or Ultra Broadband service connected beyond the 7-day trial, the monthly nbn or Ultra Broadband plan fee will apply.
Does Home Wireless Broadband include a phone service?
No, Home Wireless Broadband is a data-only internet service that does not include a phone service.
Virtual Phone is an optional Call Forwarding service for existing nbn or Ultra Broadband customers, but it doesn't allow you to make calls.
How does Virtual Phone for existing iiNet customers work?
If you have an existing iiNet VoIP or landline phone service, you can set up Virtual Phone when you order Home Wireless Broadband.
Virtual Phone lets you:
- Forward all incoming calls to another Standard Australian landline or mobile number; and
- Keep your existing phone number, should you later wish to switch back to nbn or Ultra Broadband, or switch your phone service to another provider.
Virtual Phone can't be used to make calls.
You can change the Call Forwarding number in Toolbox by selecting Virtual Phone.
If your 4G Home Wireless Broadband 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.
- 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. - 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.
You don't need to check the SIM slot if it's still covered by a black sticker.
-
Make sure that your modem's cables are plugged in securely and not damaged.
You’ll need to replace any broken or chewed cables. -
Turn off your modem’s power outlet for at least 10 seconds.
-
Turn the outlet back on and wait for your modem’s Internet light to come on, then see if you can visit a website.
-
Check your modem's 4G light. If it's off or red, try moving your modem to a different spot.
Can't get a good signal? Give us a call on 13 22 58 and we'll help you out. -
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.
-
Still can't get online? Please call us on 13 22 58 and we’ll help you.
If your iiNet Home Wireless Broadband service is running slowly, these steps will help you identify the issue.
-
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. -
Find your modem and turn off its power outlet for at least 10 seconds.
-
Turn the outlet back on and wait 3-5 minutes for your modem to reboot.
-
Check the 4G light on your modem. If it's off or red, try moving your modem to a different spot.
Can't get a good signal? Give us a call on 13 22 58 and we'll help you out. -
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.
