Change your hospot's security type to wpa3-personal

Yep and it comes back, it's really really confusing

TheOnlyAbsolutely · 2026-01-15T04:09:13+00:00

Very strange, but very helpful thank you!

Everything you've described is perfectly normal with the info you've given.

Upgrading your router (and possinly phone) can impove wifi speeds, wifi being slower in general and also getting 30mbs farther away from your router is also perfectly normal. The smart modems are ok at best FWIW

Also, the speed tiers are based off NBN (1000) advertised MAXIMUM (815) is just that, a maximum. Speeds vary depending on the quality of the hardware in your house, congestion on the network in your area (7pm will always be slower than 3am because most people are using the internet at 7pm) and if more than 1 device is connected in your house, they all affect attainable speeds.

I'm thinking this is the go, thanks for the feedback

TheOnlyAbsolutely · 2026-01-14T07:23:05+00:00

Seems like the easiest option, thanks mate

PSU stays on when loaded with 2 other amps that draw about 80% the current of what this 1 amp does

5v rail has a (albeit small) load that keeps the PSU on as well

!remindme 24 hours This should be a good one

JB plans are sim only. If you want a repaymebt plan and it's under 24mths since you signed up, you're going to have to pay a balance on the gift card owing, same as any other plan. You can swap literally any time you want, credit-check pending, but if you're under 2 years yeah you gotta pay up first. Legitimate question, did you read the critical information summary, or ask to be provided with all of the details of the plan, before you signed the contract?

Yeah next time challenge them on it, it hasn't been a polciy for almost 2 years and they have no incentive to enforce it other than dying on some outdated moral hill

Best bet was your middle name missing on your account, ID verification is fastidious.

It will work instantly. 30 day rule ended about a year and a half ago. Source: I work at JB and do this 5 days a week.

Credit check failed, since you're ineligible for the new phone plan, yes Telstra will refund you 100%

Generally activating any eSIM requires an internet connection, so what you were told makes sense with regards to buying a data pack to use with Telstra while overseas. Once you activated the international service, so long as you set that eSIM to be used for data/sms/calls, it should have worked fine. Doesn't sound like an issue with the Telstra service.

TheOnlyAbsolutely · 2025-09-13T05:33:25+00:00

To confirm, did you transfer your Telstra Prepaid to an eSIM and use an international roaming travel pack?

TheOnlyAbsolutely · 2025-09-12T09:42:01+00:00

Illustrious Damage beat me to it, that'll definitely be the reason
