What is this guide all about?

 

This guide will help you set up your NBN Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) service from TPG.

 

Read on for our step-by-step instructions or check out our helpful youtube video:

 

 

Before you get started,

 

Important Note: Once you receive confirmation from TPG that your service  is active, turn on your router and leave it for up to 30 mins as your router is retrieving and saving the required settings from TPG to connect automatically. When this is completed, the internet light on the front of your router will become solid green.

 

If you see the below browser message it means the modem is still being configured and will take about 30 minutes for the auto activation of the modem to finish.
