Business use of Telstra Air

I have two businesses with two seperate Telstra Biz Essentials accounts.
While I understand that businesses are not able to register yet, can business owners use the Telstra Air service when away from their business?
I have been waiting for something like this to happen for a while now.
Next question.
If and when businesses become available to share, do you have to use a Telstra modem?. We have a DLink modem in one motel and a Netgear in the other.

Currently it is not available for business customers.
There has been no official announcements of if and when it will become available to Business customers.
If and when it does become available, then the answer would be yes, since consumer customer have to use the Telstra modems... the main reason for this is that in order for you to be able to access air while you are out, you have to share you bandwidth as well, and the firmware which allows this is only compatible with a handful of Telstra modems (this is so far, but likely will still only be approved models which they can ensure compliance with).

Telstra Air® activation and your home gateway
When you activate Telstra Air on your home broadband account it triggers a firmware update to your gateway. This update enables your gateway to become a Telstra Air hotspot and broadcast a separate Wi-Fi network alongside your private home network.
You will notice that a ‘Fon WiFi’ network name is also being broadcast. The Fon Wi-Fi network is the same as the Telstra Air Network, but can be accessed by Fon’s overseas community and by customers buying a guest pass from Fon.

Re: Understand Telstra Air data use
How is a "portion" of my home broadband used for others when I sign up to Telstra Air? My cable connection is often very slow (?), So I am assuming when you let others use it, it will be even slower!?
If you are allowing access to my home network to others once I sign up for Telstra Air what security do I have have?

Telstra Air - Frequently Asked Questions

What is Telstra Air®?
Telstra Air is Telstra’s new Wi-Fi network. Eligible Telstra Home Broadband customers can become Telstra Air members and use their home broadband allowance out and about, via our network of Wi-Fi hotspots.
If customers have an eligible Telstra home broadband service and a compatible gateway, they can become a member. Their compatible gateway creates a Telstra Air hotspot that others can use. Members share some of their home internet bandwidth at home in return for accessing their home broadband allowance at Telstra Air hotspots across Australia and at over 15 million Fon Spots overseas. Over time, by sharing, we expect members will co-create a community of hundreds of thousands of hotspots across Australia.
The launch of Telstra Air follows the rollout of a trial network of more than 2,600 hotspots at payphone sites nationally and a free trial of the technology that saw over 1.5 million individual users connect.
How can customers access the network?
Telstra Air is available to customers with an eligible Telstra home broadband service and a compatible gateway. New customers taking up an eligible bundle with a compatible gateway will be offered a Telstra Air membership as part of their bundle (they can opt out when buying the bundle). Existing customers can visit www.telstra.com/joinair to find out the best way to join.
Do existing customers have to opt in?
Existing eligible customers have to opt in to the new service by visiting www.telstra.com/joinair. Existing eligible Telstra home broadband customers without an eligible gateway will need to upgrade to a compatible gateway to become a member. Customers can purchase gateways outright or on monthly repayment options.
How do customers know if they have a compatible gateway?
There are four home network gateways that are Telstra Air-ready allowing eligible customers to become a member. They are the
Telstra Gateway Max™ (ADSL/NBN TG799 device and Cable CG6300 device)
T-Gateway (ADSL/NBN TG797 device) and
ADSL Premium Gateway (TG587).
A firmware update enabling the broadcasting of Telstra Air and Fon signals will be applied to a customer’s gateway when they sign up, if it has not already happened. Customers can go into their gateway settings (http://mygateway) to check if the upgrade has been successful – they will see “Telstra Air” appear in their gateway interface. The hotspot will only be switched on once a customer has chosen to become a Telstra Air member.
At launch, approximately 700,000 of our Telstra Broadband customers already have Telstra-Air ready gateways.
At what point are customers Air member – does the gateway need to be active or is just when they opt in?
Customers become Telstra Air members once their order has been submitted in our CRM (Siebel). It’s at this stage that we automatically send them a welcome email (the ‘opt-in’ KMI). Gateway installation and broadband service activation can occur at a later date.
How do I know if my existing Home Broadband Service is eligible for Telstra Air?
Telstra Air is available to ADSL, Cable and NBN home broadband customers.
Customers need a Telstra Gateway Max™, T-Gateway® or an ADSL Premium Gateway.
If customers don’t have an eligible Telstra home broadband service they can head in store or call 132 200 to discuss their options.
*Naked Cable broadband customers are unable to join Telstra Air.
What happens if I want to bring my own gateway?
If you use your own gateway, you will not be eligible for Telstra Air, as you won’t be able to share with the community. If you had joined the community and have chosen to replace your Telstra Gateway with another non-compatible gateway, your Telstra Air membership will be withdrawn.
How do new bundle customers join?
New bundle customers with an eligible broadband service and compatible gateway will be informed about becoming a member when they sign up to their new service and can decide then if they would like to become a member. Our new Telstra Premier Bundles include a Telstra Gateway Max™ for new customers.
New Telstra home broadband customers will be able access Telstra Air hotspots in Australia before their home broadband service is activated. They will receive an email when they can connect with information on how to get started, usually within 2 days of ordering.
Is the service free?
Telstra Air allows eligible broadband customers to use their Telstra home broadband allowance when they connect to a Telstra Air hotspot. Unless customers need to upgrade their gateway, there is no additional cost to join the community.
Can I use Telstra Air if I am not a Telstra Air customer?
Currently, you can’t access the Telstra Air Network using your home broadband allowance if you’re not a Telstra Air member. Non Telstra Air members can buy a Fon guest pass for the residential part of our network. We are working on providing guest passes for the Telstra built (e.g. payphone sites) part of the network for later this year.
Why are the BigPond Unmetered/Green Dot sites metered on Telstra Air?
Unmetering of BigPond is available in the home and on some of our mobile services – it’s not available on Wi-Fi.
That said, with the recent increases we have made to the majority of our fixed broadband customers’ data allowances we believe they will have ample data to access the internet via Telstra Air.
When will non members be able to buy a guest pass for all of the hotspots?
We are working on providing guest passes for the Telstra built (e.g. payphone sites) part of the network for launch later this year.
Why is Telstra not able to offer a guest pass for Telstra-run hotspots at launch?
Our core focus has been on ensuring Telstra home broadband customers who join Telstra Air can access the network using their home broadband allowance. We want to offer all Australians, irrespective of whether they are a Telstra customer or not, access to two million Wi-Fi hotspots across the nation within five years. We are working on providing guest passes for the Telstra built (e.g. payphone sites) part of the network later this year.
Can a customer share their Telstra Air membership with family and friends?
Telstra Air Network access is given to the owner of the home broadband account. Customers can access Telstra Air on multiple devices by using their unique details to login, but only a maximum of 3 devices can connect to the Telstra Air Network in Australia at any given time.
Any usage at a Telstra Air hotspot will count towards a customer’s home broadband data allowance.
What’s the difference between the Telstra ID username and the Telstra Air username?
Telstra ID username is what customers use to log in to My Account and other Telstra online services. Customers will also use the Telstra ID for accessing the Telstra Air Network. If customers don’t have a Telstra ID, they can register for one online with their account number.
Telstra Air username ends in @wifi.telstra.com and can be used to access the Fon Wi-Fi hotspots when overseas when using the local captive portal to login. The login details can be found in My Account Telstra Air username where users can also reset their password.
What is a Fon Wi-Fi pass and how can you purchase one?
Fon Wi-Fi passes allow non-Telstra Air members the ability to access the hotspot that is broadcast from Telstra Air home gateways and Fon Spots overseas.
Customers can do this by connecting to the “Fon Wi-Fi” network and purchasing their pass from the Fon login page.
Can I continue to use Telstra Air if I have reached my data allowance at home?
No. If you use up your Telstra home broadband data allowance when you are out and about you won't be able to access the Telstra Air hotspots until you enter a new billing period, or use one of your 3 annual data top ups.
How much power will my modem use and will it impact my electricity bill?
No. While the Telstra Air modems will broadcast two Wi-Fi channels, our testing shows very minimal incremental power consumption.
CONNECTING TO TELSTRA AIR
How many devices can I connect to the Telstra Air Network™ at any given time?
Telstra Air members can connect up to 3 Wi-Fi devices to the Telstra Air Network in Australia at any given time, using your Telstra ID.
You can connect your devices to a Telstra Air hotspot as long as you:
Are a member of the Telstra Air community
Have a Wi-Fi enabled device
Are within range of a Telstra Air hotspot
Have connected to the “Telstra Air” network using your Telstra ID username and password or via the Telstra Air App
What’s the difference between Telstra Air app and Telstra 24x7 app?
The Telstra Air app enables an automated connection experience for Telstra Air members to our Telstra Air hotspots across Australia and millions of Fon Spots overseas on iOS and Android devices. The app also includes a hotspot map so customers can find their nearest hotspot when out and about. Customers can access the Telstra Air Network using the app provided they are a Telstra customer with an eligible home broadband service, compatible gateway and have become a Telstra Air member.
The Telstra 24x7 App allows customers to manage their Telstra services in one place. Customers can view how much they have used on their Telstra home broadband data allowance, current and past bill summaries, pay bills, purchase data packs, take advantage of the Telstra THANKS discounted movie ticket offer and access support. A link to the Telstra Air app is also included within 24x7.
Can customers get the Telstra Air App on their BlackBerry or Windows Phone?
No. Unfortunately the Telstra Air app is not available on BlackBerry or Windows devices at this time. Telstra Air members with these devices can still connect using a log-in page where they can enter their Telstra Digital Identity username and password.
IN HOME SERVICE
Will Telstra Air impact the performance of a customer’s Home Broadband service?
If a customer is a Telstra Air member their Telstra Gateway creates a separate Wi-Fi hotspot that others can use. When others use this hotspot, it doesn't impact the customer’s broadband allowance, it only shares a portion of their home broadband bandwidth.
We know that Wi-Fi speeds are important to our customers so we have put in place network settings are in place to ensure their home network performance is protected. This includes limiting the number of guests per hotspot and switching off hotspot sharing when the line speed into a home drops below a certain level.
What is the service limit set at?
We have set an engineering limit that we will adjust over time base on customer feedback.
How can customers disconnect from the Telstra Air Network?
To disconnect from the Telstra Air Network, customers can simply turn the Wi-Fi off on their device. This will force their device to disconnect from Telstra Air.
Alternatively, if a customer has the Telstra Air App installed on their Android device, they can open the app and hit the ‘Disconnect’ button.
On Android and iOS devices you can also choose to ‘forget’ a network. This will mean that your device will delete your login details to the network, and when you are in range, your device will not try to automatically connect to it. To do this, open the Wi-Fi network list in your device settings, tap the network name, and select the ‘Forget’ button.
As the home broadband user, does my data use in the home get priority over others sharing it?
We have service rules in place to ensure that only a portion of the home broadband customer's Wi-Fi bandwidth is available to share with other the hotspot users. These rules determine when the hotspot is available for Telstra Air members to access which helps protect the customer experience of the home broadband user.
HOTSPOT SERVICE
What are the speeds like when connected to the Telstra Air Network?
Given this is a Wi-Fi network, speeds may vary depending on your proximity to our hotspots, the number of others connected to the same hotspot, and the device you are using. We expect that customers will be able to undertake activities such as sending emails, uploading photos and browsing the internet when they are using the Telstra Air Network™.
Is there a time limit on how long customers can be connected to the Telstra Air Network?
Customers can access Telstra Air hotspots for as long as you like. However, after 20 minutes of inactivity or 12 hours of continuous connection, your connection will time out and you’ll need to reconnect.
Is there a map that can help customers find where they can connect to Telstra Air?
Yes. Customers can find Telstra Air hotspots by using the Telstra Air App or by visiting Telstra.com/air and selecting “Find a Hotspot” to open the interactive Wi-Fi Hotspot Locator.
We use pin points to identify public hotspots, while a heat map will indicate the general areas where home gateways are broadcasting Telstra Air.
What is the range like on a Telstra Air hotspot?
Generally speaking Wi-Fi hotspots have a range of up to 20 metres indoors but in optimal conditions can reach up to 50 metres outdoors.
However, the range of a Wi-Fi hotspot can be impacted by a number of factors including surrounding buildings, interference from other wireless devices, weather conditions and the number of other users.
We recommend customers stay close to the hotspot and keep an eye on their device’s Wi-Fi signal strength.
Overseas Use
How can customers connect to Fon Spots when travelling overseas?
Customers can connect to Fon Wi-Fi Hotspots (known as Fon Spots) using the Telstra Air App, the same way they use it in Australia.
If you don’t have the App you can login manually.
Turn on your device’s Wi-Fi
Select “Fon WiFi” from your Wi-Fi network list
Once you have connected to the Fon Wi-Fi network, open your web browser.
Enter your @wifi.telstra.com username and password into the Fon login page
The @wifi.telstra.com username and password is available in My Account
How do you find Fon Spots?
The Telstra Air app shows where Fon Spots are overseas. If you don’t have the app customers can go to Telstra.com/wifi to find out where they are.
Fon Spots can be found in the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Spain, Italy and in the Moscow region of Russia.
How many devices can be connected to a Fon hotspot?
When connecting overseas only 1 device can be connected at a given time to the Fon network. This means if you want to use Fon Wi-Fi on 2 devices while overseas, you will have to first disconnect from Fon on one of them, before connecting the other one.
PRICING AND USAGE ALLOWANCES
What is the pricing structure for each of the offers?
For our fixed broadband customers Telstra Air membership is included in their plan or Bundle price, as long as they have an eligible broadband service and a compatible gateway. As a Telstra Air member, data usage at Telstra Air hotspots and Fon Spots will count towards your home broadband allowance, including usage at sites that are unmetered from your home broadband service such as BigPond Movies, Presto, Foxtel Go and our BigPond unmetered sites.
How are customers charged when accessing the Fon network overseas?
As a Telstra Air member there is no additional charge for accessing Fon overseas - any data used at Fon Spots overseas will count towards the customer's home broadband allowance.
Security
How secure is the Telstra Air Network?
Providing a secure and easy Wi-Fi experience for customers is important to us.
Like most public Wi-Fi services, browsing sessions on Telstra Air are open with the communication between a computing device and the wireless point unencrypted. We recommend to customers that it’s okay to use the service for general web browsing and for streaming content, however any activity that requires a secure connection such as internet banking should be done via a mobile or fixed broadband service.
If customers are wanting to share personal information when they’re out and about should consider:
Using a mobile network connection
Using a VPN app which in initiates the exclusive connection from the computing device
Or checking that the site they would like to use has HTTPS to protect their exchanged data before proceeding. HTTPS is in wide use on popular sites such as Facebook which started offering it in 2011.
What customer information is collected when connected to a Telstra Air hotspot?
Once you are confirmed as a member of the Telstra Air network we don’t monitor your internet usage other than how much data you use from your FBB account.

Using Telstra Air With your own modem

Hello Everyone,
I received a Telstra Gateway max in the mail for upgrading to one of Telstra's latest bundles.
To be honest i am not too fond of any of Telstra's modems i noticed the device has a wan port on the back of it.
I then had a thought that i could hook the modem up to my current modem and use the Gateway max to use Telstra Air.
So here is my current setup
<Modem>--------<Telstra Gateway Max>
All my computers connect to the main modem and the gateway max has a single access point enabled but with SSID broadcast disabled.
The configuration changes i have done in the gateway max is just putting my pppoe username and password in.
And this all works wireless devices can now see and connect to Telstra Air and Fon WiFi

Thanks for that Gibbsy, handy info fopr those looking for a similar work around.

Telstra Air, cannot activate the service.

I have tried many times to activate Telstra Air without success, not even an email or an error message from Telstra. I have a compatible gateway T797I have an active ADSL2 Bizessentials account, the account number begins with N and ends with RI have a bigpond email address that ends with [email protected] have the Telstra Air app installed on my Android phone.I have checked my router admin panel 10.0.0.138 many times but cannot see any sign of Telstra Air. I think the problem is that my Bigpond email address is an old address that I created many years ago and it does not associate with my current Bizessentials account number that begins with N and ends with RIt is the only bigpond.com email address that I have. I have searched through all the configuration details for my current ADSL account and cannot find an associated Bigpond email address. Is there another way to activate a Telstra Air service on my gateway without using an email address, perhaps using my Bizesssentials account number instead?

Telstra Air is currently only available for consumer customers, they have not announced it for business customers as yet.
The FAQ does specify that it is only for Home Broadband customers unfortunately:
Compatible plans
The following Telstra home broadband plans are compatible with Telstra Air™:
ADSL
Cable
NBN
Satellite and Velocity plans are incompatible.

Connecting laptop to Telstra Air

We have just had the Teltra Air service activated and I cannot find instructions on how to connect our laptop to the Air hotspots when we are not at home. There are apps for the IOS and Android devices but I cannot find instructions on how to use the laptop with Air. Is it possible and how?

When you connect to the hotspot, it'll force you into a webpage to authenticate with your Telstra Air details.

Connect to Telstra Air via a Notebook

HiI've just signed up and I have the Telstra Air App on my phone, however i am curious if there is a way I can connect to the public Telstra Air Wifi spots with my notebook PC (Windows 8.1).Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello Brendan,I have not used Telstra Air, but to the best of my knowledge you would do it as any wireless connection.You turn on wireless in your notebook, and click on the wireless icon, look for the Telstra Air, and connect. RegardsProfessor PhoneI'm not a Telstra employee. I have been a mobile subscriber since 1963.If my advice has been helpful, a Kudo "tick" would be most appreciated.If my advice has solved your problem, please also mark it as a Solution

Telstra Air Signed up on the very 1st days but they have been unable to get me going.

As the title suggests, I am still waiting on my escalated query, of which I have contacted Telstra over since the 1st week of Air's introduction. All I have been told is that they get errors when they try to add me. They have never called me and have always left it up to me to query what is going on. (which I might add is nothing). Very disappointed with Telstra over this escalated query of which the only answer I repeatadly get is that it is escalated. DOH!!!!!!!No Air nor communication, very poor service, considering the time it is taking or not taking in between the techs coffee breaks. Been a long term Telstra customer and burnt like they just dont care.

I hear your frustration. Here's my journey so far: I've been a Telstra Cable Bigpond customer for a couple of years now.Heard about Telstra Air, and discovered the cable modem I had (CG3100) was not compatible.So I paid the $216, ordered and received a new CG6300 which is Telstra Air compatible (Telstra Gateway Max).Connected it up, then signed up for the service about 3 weeks ago.Got the message saying it would take 2-5 business days to complete.Didn't hear anything, so called them back a week later.They advised it's still processing, and we'll let you know when it's complete.Gave them another 2 weeks, heard nothing, so called them back again on Saturday.They said the name of my service was "an old name", and they're getting some error trying to activate Telstra Air for customers on this old named service.So that's what I've been told – there's some issue at the back end which is preventing them from upgrading me.So I feel like I've been conned in to purchasing a new modem (CG6300), even though my old modem (CG3100) worked fine ... the only reason I purchased the new modem was for Telstra Air. I've posted to other forums trying to find if anyone else had experienced the same and had a solution, but to no avail. Was even hoping that Telstra's customer service would call me even once, but I've had to call for an update every time. Even a call to say "we haven't fixed the problem, but we're still working on it and we haven't forgotten you" would go a long way. Very disappointed.

Apple Airport or Time Capsule with Telstra Air

Is it possible to use an Apple airport or time capsule (connected to the gateway) with Telstra Air enabled? I believe you have to disable the wifi when connecting a gateway to an apple airport which would prevent you from using Telstra Air. Has anyone tried this? Would like to have Telstra Air but don't want to give up the time capsule.

You can only get Telstra Air on the modems listed on this site
https://www.telstra.com.au/broadband/telstra-air/how-to-join
If you have one of the modems listed on that page it might work as Brizbrenz mentions, but if your modem is not on that page it definitely won't work

Why can I connect to Telstra Air.

I have a Telstra C6300BD Gateway, with 5510_V10410 firmware, however it is operating in Bridged mode as a cable modem only, with its Wi-Fi turned OFF. My Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections are via an ASUS RT-AC68U router connected to the C6300BD. I would have thought that arrangement would not be compatible with Telstra AIR, in terms of providing a Hot Spot, and that should prevent me from being able to use Telstra Air. I have also NOT opted in to Telstra Air, and can't see any mention of it in my account details. To my surprise however, today one of my laptops, in my house, picked up a Telstra AIR hotspot and automatically connected to it whilst I had the Wi-Fi from my ASUS router switched OFF. Judging by the relatively low signal strength some one else in the area has a Gateway with Telstra Air enabled. Are we being opted in by Telstra even when have not elected to be, and if so, how do we opt out.

Hello Greyfox,To the very best of my knowledge it is opt in.I would encourage you to contact Telstra ASAP either via 133 933 or 24/7 Live Chathttps://livechat.telstra.com/TCOM:Crowdsupport:ConsumerHope that assists you

Telstra Air - Cable Hot Spot firmware update ?

I have the Netgear C6300BD, also known as Telstra Gateway Max ! Now over the phone I was told that cable in my area (HFC 3.0) has not been yet enable for Telstra Air..it reuires a firmware update to be available..meaning I can not see the SSI Telstra Air in my garden for all the visitors to use Do we know when this will happen ? I used to see a lot of the free wifi specially on Public phones etc..but I dont see they are operational anymore. I am a Blackberry user so I depend on the SSID to be broadcasted to use the service...

Hello Gerry....Here is a "ready made" explanation of how it works......https://www.telstra.com.au/broadband/telstra-air/how-it-worksCheers

Stop mobile selecting telstra air when in my own network area

AIR is taking over my mobiles wifi. I want to connect go my personal network when in my own home. Instead the phone keeps jumping to telstra air asking me go login.
(This is Aside from the fact i have logged in a set it to logong automatically)
When at home I have no wish to loginto my telstra air to access parts of my persoanl network
What do I do

Hi dozrtravlin, You must be living right under a Telstra hotspot beacon because I have had Telstra Air active for the past 4 weeks and have never come across this issue. In fact, I have trouble locating any hotspots except when I get to my local train station and even then it takes 2 mins for Telstra Air to even notify me that my phone is conecting/connected. Are you using an ADSL or Cable Gateway modem? (NB: to everyone reading this it seems to always be missed when people state their issues - make sure you tell us the type of connection you have.) It could be that you are near a Telstra Air hotspot and the signal from the hotspot is stronger than the signal from your own gateway. The more information you can provide the easier ti will be to help you with a solution.
