Aussie Broadband (Zyxel) modem lights – what they mean
| Light | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Power green | Modem is on | Normal |
| DSL / Internet solid green | Online | All good |
| DSL flashing | Trying to sync the line | Wait a few minutes; if it never goes solid, the line needs checking |
| Internet red | No connection / wrong PPPoE details | Restart; if it stays red, check line or connection details |
| Wi-Fi green | Wi-Fi on (flashing = activity) | Normal |
| No lights | No power | Check the power switch and socket |
Sync problem vs login problem
A flashing DSL light that never goes solid points to a line-sync or cabling fault. A solid DSL but red internet usually means the line is fine but the PPPoE username/password is wrong or missing – common after a reset. We can tell the difference and fix the cause.

Frequently asked questions
What does a red light on my Aussie Broadband modem mean?
A red Internet light means no connection – usually a line-sync issue or wrong PPPoE details. Restart the modem; if it stays red, the line or connection settings need checking.
What colour should my Aussie Broadband modem lights be?
Power and DSL/Internet should be solid green – that means the line is synced and you’re online.
Why is my Aussie Broadband DSL light flashing?
A flashing DSL light means the modem is trying to sync the line. If it never goes solid, there’s a cabling or line fault to investigate.
My Aussie Broadband modem won’t connect after a reset – why?
A reset clears the PPPoE login, so the line may sync but the internet light stays red until your Aussie Broadband username and password are re-entered. We can do that for you.
Do all Aussie Broadband modems use the same lights?
Aussie ships Zyxel modems, which follow the same pattern – power, DSL/internet and Wi-Fi. Tell us the colour you see and we’ll tell you what it means.
Can you fix it remotely?
Yes – login and PPPoE issues are usually fixable remotely; we send a technician onsite for cabling and line faults.
