If your Telstra nbn FTTC modem shows connected but has no internet access, possible reasons include:
1. LED Light Status – Ensure all required LED lights on the nbn™ Connection Device are solid blue. If not, wait up to 15 minutes or refer to troubleshooting. 2. Backup Pathway – If the modem’s ‘SIGNAL’ light is blue, it means you are connected to the backup 4G pathway, which might have limited connectivity. 3. Phone Socket Connection – Ensure the nbn™ Connection Device is correctly plugged into the phone socket using the provided cable. 4. Modem Setup – Verify that the nbn™ Connection Device is connected to the Telstra Business Smart Modem™ using the cable with red and yellow ends (WAN). 5. Device Restart – Power cycle both the nbn™ Connection Device and the modem by unplugging them for a few minutes and then reconnecting. 6. Interference – Remove all other devices from phone sockets to prevent interference. 7. Service Activation – Confirm that your nbn™ service has been activated by Telstra. 8. Technical Support – If the issue persists, refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual or contact Telstra support.
