Where to put your modem
Somewhere visible, on a high surface
Away from dense objects like fridges, filing cabinets, brick walls and mirrors
Away from bodies of water like fish tanks or a hot water service
Away from devices that interfere with wi-fi signals, like microwaves, cordless telephones, baby monitors, car door remotes or a neighbour’s modem
Still having trouble?
Unplug everything connected to the phone sockets in your home (eg, phones, any other modems, fax machines).
Plug your modem into an active phone socket.
Turn it off for 2 minutes, then back on again.
(If it’s still not working at this stage, try a different phone socket.)
Once the modem is working, you can plug everything else back in.
