  1. Confirm that your Micro SIM is present and fully inserted in the Micro SIM slot located on the side of your modem. If the SIM is missing, please call us on 13 22 58.
    Note: Your SIM slot may be covered by a plastic cover or a black sticker to prevent tampering.

  5. 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 13 22 58 for assistance.
  6. 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.
  7. If you lose your WiFi connection in certain parts of your home, see our guide on improving WiFi signals.
  8. Attempt to view a website on a device connected to your modem via Ethernet cable, not WiFi. If Ethernet works but WiFi doesn't, see troubleshooting WiFi No Connection.
  9. If you can view websites on some devices but not others, see our guide on Browsing issues.
  10. If you still can't get online, please call us on 13 22 58 for further assistance.
