1. Check what lights are on your modem – the power, broadband, internet and wireless lights should all be on and illuminated Green.

   The modem shows the four lights needed for a successful connection: Power, Broadband, Internet and Wireless.

   If there are only two lights on, this could indicate a cabling issue or a fault on the line when broadband isn’t working, most users will find that only the power and wireless lights are on.

   
2. If this is the case, check the cable going from the grey ‘DSL’ port (socket) at the back of the modem to the phone socket on the wall and make sure it is not loose. Also check that the cable is going into the correct port (socket) – it should be going into the side of the wall double socket with the computer icon.
3. If you have checked this and the other lights don’t come back, contact tech support on 01-2469000.
4. If your broadband light is solid but your internet light is red, or your broadband light is solid, but your internet is not on, this could mean one of the following:
   • There’s a potential fault on the line.
   • Your modem needs to be configured.
   • There is an account issue such as billing or authentication.

   If this case, you will need to contact tech support on 01-2469000.

1. Log onto www.speedtest.net or www.fast.com to perform a wired speed test – it will let you know your ping time, download speed and upload speed. All you have to do is follow the quick and easy steps onscreen;
2. In order to perform the wired speed test, you will need to plug an Ethernet cable into the laptop and modem. Log onto the internet and run the tests ( speedtest and fast ) . This will give you accurate speed tests;

Modem attached to a computer via an ethernet cable. You should receive an ethernet cable with your modem.

Contact customer care on 01-2469000 and ask for a static IP address to be applied. This will cost €100. Please note, a static IP from a former internet service provider will not migrate when moving to a new provider.

Since I moved to Pure Telecom, I have been unable to send and receive emails on my device.

1. Go to your email server settings on the device in question.
2. Enter Pure Telecom’s email server settings, which are as follows:
   • Outgoing Server Setting: Try smtp.puretelecom.ie or smtp2.puretelecom.ie.
   • Incoming Server Setting: Dependant on ISP. Check settings with your provider.

   

If you are about to have Fibre broadband installed for the first time, the onsite engineer/technician will need to install a faceplate that allows for both a broadband and phone connection. (There will be a phone icon beside the phone port and a computer icon for the broadband port.) The modem and phone will then plug in here. It is important to also have a power socket close by for the phone and modem to plug into.
