Fibre Home Installation

What’s the Fibre installation process?

Once you sign up for Fibre Internet, we will give you the Epic Fibre Internet router and set up an appointment with an installer to visit and install Fibre in your home. Following that, just follow our Set Up Guide instructions to finish the installation.

If you already have Fibre set up in your home, please wait for the previous service to stop working, and then follow our Set Up Guide instructions to install your Epic Fibre Internet router.

What do I need to know before Fibre Installation?
  1. Sign Up for Fibre Internet by visiting any of our Epic stores or speaking with a Sales member over the phone. We will give you the Epic Fibre Internet router and set up an appointment with an installer to visit and install Fibre in your home.
  2. Allow up to 72 hours to receive a call with an appointment date. 
  3. Make sure that you get the necessary access to the roof and/or neighbours’ premises through which our fibre cable might pass.
  4. Call us on 9999 9247 at least 3 working days before the appointment if you wish to make any changes. 
  5. The installation will happen at the first entry point within the premises. The installer will give their recommendations upon inspecting the site and take the final decision.
  6. Make sure you have 2 power sockets available in the place identified. We recommend a surge-protected power socket.
  7. Make sure the place identified is adequate to host electrical equipment, is not exposed to humidity and has enough ventilation.
  8. The installer will be contacting you up to 30 minutes before the appointment. Please make sure that a person over 18 years of age whom you authorise to sign for the completion of works is present, and the previously mentioned access is available.
  9. Fibre installation will be complete once the small black box (ONT) has been installed by the installer.
What comes after a successful Fibre Installation?
  1. Once the installer completes the ONT installation, follow the Set Up Guice in your Epic router box to enable Epic Fibre Internet service in your home. 
  2. Connect any devices you have at home, wireless or wired.
  3. You can now enjoy lightning-fast home internet!

Wi-Fi Name & Password

    Where do I find my Wi-Fi Name and Password?

    A sticker at the bottom of your router indicates:

    How do I change my Wi-Fi Name and Password?

      My Home Internet isn't working. What can I do?

      The Internet light should be white and stable.

      My Internet light is blinking white. 

      This means that your device is still connecting to the internet. 

      Log into the administration website with the log-in details on your router sticker, and check whether a Firmware update is needed.

      My Internet light is blinking red.

      This means that there is a connection error. 

      1. The most common solution is to restart your router. Press the Power button once, wait for 10 seconds and then press the Power button again to switch on your router. 
      2. Check your Ethernet Cable is connected and working. You should also try different Ethernet Cables to be sure. 
      3. Reset the ONT (the smaller black box) by pressing the reset button until it switches off and switches on again. If the alarm light is on, please get in touch with us so we can help.
      4. Reset the router completely. Press the reset button for 10 – 15 seconds until the router switches on again.

      My Home Internet seems slower than usual. What can I do?

      2. Download a speed test application and take readings at different times of day if the issue persists. The device used for the speed test must be capable of reading speeds up to the optimal maximum on your Fibre plan.
