How to use Origin Internet Helper

  1. Call the Origin Internet team on on 1300 980 711 and we will walk you through the app

  2. Run a scan. Open the app and tap Network Scan to start the diagnosis

    • Before you start the scan, it helps to stand within a metre of your modem or router

    • The scan takes about two minutes to complete. Don’t minimise the app or check other notifications during the scan. After your scan is done, you’ll see your speed test results and suggestions on how to improve your network speed and coverage

  3. Tap Improve Network Health at the bottom of the screen. Each scan creates a unique, eight-digit code. Share this code with us

  4. Our Origin Internet team will help you troubleshoot your connectivity issues
