My Wi-Fi Isn't Working

Find your internet box
It's the box with blinking lights that your internet cable plugs into — usually near a phone line or the NBN box.

Turn the power off
Switch it off at the wall, or unplug the power cable from the back of the box.

Wait 30 seconds
This gives it a proper full reset — don't rush this part.

Turn it back on
Plug it back in or switch the power back on at the wall.
