Tangerine Wi-Fi routers are purchased outright and paid for upfront, and are not supplied under a contract. Once purchased, the Wi-Fi router belongs to the customer and is unlocked, meaning it can be used with other service providers.

Because Wi-Fi routers are ordered new at the time of purchase and owned by the customer, refunds are not generally offered, except in limited circumstances.

When may a Wi-Fi router refund be considered?
A Wi-Fi router refund may be considered if one of the following applies:

  • The nbn® service cannot be provided, and the address is confirmed as not serviceable, with no interim solution available.
  • The nbn® service cannot be activated due to a significant delay, where the delay is not caused by the customer and the customer is unable to proceed.
  • The Wi-Fi router received was incorrect or incomplete, such as receiving the wrong model or missing required components.

All refund requests are assessed based on eligibility and circumstances.

When is a Wi-Fi router refund not available?

A Wi-Fi router refund is not available in the following situations:

  • Change of mind or buyers remorse, including finding the Wi-Fi router cheaper elsewhere
  • Cancelling the service or switching providers, as the Wi-Fi router is owned by the customer
  • Requesting a different Wi-Fi router model after dispatch
  • Delays caused by the customer, such as missed nbn® appointments or incomplete in home cabling

Important to know

  • Faulty hardware covered under warranty is handled through replacement, not refund
  • Refunds can only be processed after the Wi-Fi router has been returned and checked
  • Refunds are processed in line with Tangerines standard hardware refund policy

If you believe your situation may be eligible, please refer to the refund information on our Policies page or contact our Customer Service team via Live Chat or our Contact Us page for guidance.
