4.CHANGE OF PASSWORD
For security purposes we highly recommend that you change your
password if you are using your default or if you believe your password security has been compromised.
To change your password, first please visit tpg.com.au/password
Your new password will take approximately 10-15 minutes to take effect, after which you must reconfigure your new password in your router.
PLEASE NOTE:
Each time your router is powered on, it will initialize this automated authentication process after which your router will receive a public IP address (fixed or dynamic depending on your plan) and DNS settings from TPG.
