Unsupported Browser and Device Access Issues

If you’re using an outdated device like an IQ2, consider upgrading to a newer model like the IQ3. Check your internet connection and ensure that your DHCP and DNS settings are configured correctly. If you’re using a cable modem, make sure it’s compatible with Foxtel and that your ISP is compatible.

In some cases, you may need to update your software or perform a reboot of your modem. If you’re still experiencing issues, try accessing the Foxtel Gateway through a DMZ or using port forwarding. For more information on manual software updates, check out the Foxtel iQ3 Knowledge Base.

Troubleshooting Solutions for Gateway to Foxtel

• Restart Your Devices:
• Turn off the power to your modem and Foxtel box.
  
• Wait for about 30 seconds.
• Turn on the modem first, then wait until it is fully operational.
• Turn on the Foxtel box and check if it’s working properly.
• Check Your Cables:
• Make sure all cables are plugged in securely, including the power cord, Ethernet cable, and HDMI cable.
• Check that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the correct port on both the modem and Foxtel box.
  
• If possible, try replacing the Ethernet cable with a new one.
• Reset Your Modem:
• Locate the reset button on your modem (usually at the back).
• Use a paper clip or a small object to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.
  
• Wait for the modem to restart and connect to the internet.
• Check if the Foxtel box is working properly by turning it on.
• Check Your Internet Connection:
• Open a web browser on a computer or mobile device.
• Try accessing a website to check if you have an internet connection.
  
• If you do not have an internet connection, try resetting your modem or contacting your internet service provider.
• Check for Software Updates:
• Press the “Menu” button on your Foxtel remote control.

Clearing Browser and DNS Cache to Resolve Gateway Issues

To resolve gateway issues with your Foxtel connection, try clearing your browser and DNS cache. First, close your browser and any open tabs. Then, open a new browser window. Type chrome://settings/clearBrowserData in the address bar and select “Clear data.”

Next, clear your DNS cache by opening the Command Prompt and typing ipconfig /flushdns. If you’re still experiencing an issue, reboot your modem by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. You can also try resetting your Foxtel network settings by pressing “O.P.” on your remote and selecting “reset settings.”

If none of these solutions work, check for a software update by following the instructions on this Foxtel support page: https://community.foxtel.com.au/t5/Foxtel-iQ3-Knowledge-Base/How-to-do-a-manual-software-update-on-the-Foxtel-iQ3/ta-p/172754. If the problem persists, contact your ISP for further assistance.


import requests

try:
response = requests.get(url)
if response.status_code == 200:
print('Gateway to Foxtel is successful')
else:
print('Gateway to Foxtel is unsuccessful')
except:
print('Gateway to Foxtel is unsuccessful')


This code sends a GET request to the Foxtel gateway URL and checks the response status code to determine if the gateway is successful or not. If the status code is 200, the gateway is successful, and if not, it is unsuccessful. You can use this code as a starting point to create a more comprehensive tool to troubleshoot issues with the Foxtel gateway.
