Nope, that was someone else.

Certainly MR does it very differently with logging on your
router, doesn’t have your username/password in the router.

But that has nothing to do with the problem you are seeing with the TV.

Nope, I said that the router MR supplys does WIFI a
lot better and that the problem you said you saw when
you used WIFI to the TV might not get that result and
that since you have a MR router, that is worth TRYING.

And that’s why I suggested trying the MR router.

You do need to change from what MR uses, DHCP, to the PPOE
etc that  TPG uses and can see what TPG uses in the Netcomm.

Sorry to be tardy in my response but I have been inordinately busy today.

I can't be much assistance to you here as I have always been with Optus. 
My modem, a Netgear EVG2000 unit, has Optus custom firmware. It was set 
up by the Optus tech way back 4 years ago and I haven't needed to touch 
it since, apart from tweaking the wifi and various network parameters. 
What I cannot do is update it using Netgear firmware updates, only Optus 
updates, and so far there has been none of those.

I was given an Identical modem, also Optus, by a friend here who moved 
to a different provider. I presume it would be an auto setup as well. 
Would possibly need to get the Mac address registered if I wanted to use 
it as that was something that used to be the case with the Optus HFC 
cable network. NBN may be different. I have never really looked into it 
since it all just works.

Delve into your TPG modem and just have a look how it's been set up. 
That way you can go back in and reset it manually should the need arise. 
While you're there, make a backup of the config file. Always handy to do 
that, just in case.

As above, my only experience is with optus.

I can reset the modem by pressing a button on the back. but I will see 
if there's an option to download a config file. btw, I notice that the 
MR modem has a way better interface than the Netgear

Nope, its not locked at all, it will talk to any RSP/ISP you like.

No idea, don’t know much about that one.

Given belong is part of telstra, it may well be locked
to them, quite a bit of the telstra stuff is locked.

In which case it just wont work.

I've just checked for a faulty cable and eliminated that possibility. 
then I bypassed the auto switch, and the tv connected. then I switched 
the cable to the tv to another port on the auto switch and it connected. 
faulty port on the auto switch ???

Blue Peeler noticed you have your TV IP set on Automatic.
when it should be using DHCP (static IP)?
Thats if your router supports it.

he's talking nonsense (as usual). I found the problem. it was the auto 
switch. see my latest post before this.

He is indeed.

DHCP is the *opposite* of Static IP.

DHCP is *Automatic*.  Static IP is *Manual*.

DHCP is *Automatic* in that the DHCP server automatically allocates IP 
addresses to the client. Therefore the client should be set to 
*automatic* which, most likely, would be the *default*.

By having your TV set to automatic, it would be set up to automatically 
receive and use whatever IP address the DHCP server allocates to it.

No wonder he couldn't make a living in his *office support business*! He 
hasn't even go the basics down pat and, believe me, DHCP is pretty 
basic. Using DHCP is the default on most devices.
