INTERNET INTERMITTENT OR FREQUENT DISCONNECTION - ASTRO FIBRE

Intermittent internet connection using LAN cable

Looks like there is something wrong with your service connection.

Please run a Ping Test, Traceroute Test and attach the picture or screenshot of both test results in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances.

Please ensure to attach the required screenshot(s) in ONE file (i.e. Microsoft Word document, PDF, Image file) before submitting the form.



Intermittent internet connection using Wi-Fi

  1. Router Positioning
    Most people underestimate the importance of picking a good spot for a Wi-Fi router. Even a small shift in positioning could end up being the difference between day and night.

     i) High vs. Low
    Put the router as high up as possible to extend the broadcasting range of the radio waves. This also helps clear the router of possible interferences.

    ii) Concrete & Metals
    Make sure your router isn't blocked by any other objects, especially devices that are electronic. Also, avoid placing your router in your basement as this area is usually enclosed by a lot of concrete, which can be almost impossible for Wi-Fi signals to penetrate.

    iii) Distance to Router
    The further away from your router you get, the weaker the Wi-Fi signal. Therefore, the best option is to place your router as close to your devices as possible, but this is only practical if you have one main area where you tend to use your devices.

    Otherwise, you should place your router near the center of your home. After all, Wi-Fi broadcasts in 360 degrees, so it doesn't make sense to put it at one end of the house.

     

  2. Wireless Interference & Noise
    You've probably never noticed but there are wireless signals all around you wherever you go and they're passing through you all the time. From where? Electronic devices, Wi-Fi routers, satellites, cell towers, and more.

    Although Wi-Fi is supposed to be on a different frequency than most of these devices, the amount of radio noise can still cause interference. Some common causes of interference include:
    i) Microwaves
    ii) Bluetooth Devices
    iii) Cordless Phone
     

  3.  Surrounding Wi-Fi signals
    A truth of the modern world is that every household has their own Wi-Fi network, which can cause issues with channel  overlap. This can be somewhat problematic in a townhouse, but is especially problematic in housing complexes and apartments where there can be many  routers within close proximity. Which is why it's important that you pick a good channel in your router settings. Modern routers can choose channels for you automatically, but sometimes it's better to investigate and find the best channel yourself.
  4. Usage
    More likely, however, is that the people on your network such as friends, roommates, or family members are participating in bandwidth-heavy activities like gaming and streaming Ultrabox/Netflix.
    Fortunately, if this is the case, you can prioritize your own network traffic by enabling Quality of Service in your router settings.


If the problem persists, please run a Ping Test, Traceroute Test and attach the picture or screenshot of both test results in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances.


Please make sure to attach the required screenshot(s) in ONE file (i.e. Microsoft Word document, PDF, Image file) before submitting the form.


Quick Info
A Ping Test shows how long it takes for packets to reach host.
A Traceroute Test traces the route of packets to destination host from our server.

HOW DO I WATCH THE MATCHES AS PART OF LIGA MALAYSIA?

WHY CAN'T I GET MAXIMUM SPEED BASED ON MY SUBSCRIPTION PACKAGE (500/800MBPS) ON MY LAPTOP/MOBILE PHONE?

As a rule of thumb, this issue might happen when the devices are not equipped with minimum requirement above that supports the subscribed internet speeds:

  • WiFi technology
  • Network Interface Card (NIC)
 

As mentioned above however, it is important to note that despite meeting the device minimum requirements, it is not a guarantee that devices connected over WiFi will be able to achieve maximum subscribed internet speeds due to the following:

  1. Bad WiFi signal quality and coverage across the area due to:
    • Distance from the RGW/Mesh AP with connected device
    • Obstruction within the house (walls, metallic surfaces)
    • Interference with other household appliances
  2. Congested bandwidth
    • If there are too many devices connected to the WiFi network, then the bandwidth might be overloaded with traffic hence, slowing down the speed
  3.  Devices are connected using WiFi instead of wired using LAN.
    • It is important to note that wired connection offers better reliability and speed over WiFi.
    • WiFi is more prone to interference compared to a wired connection which causes lower speeds and dropped signal.
  4. Router Positioning: Most people underestimate the importance of picking a good spot for a Wi-Fi router. Even a small shift in positioning could end up being the difference between day and night:
    • High vs. Low: Put the router as high up as possible to extend the broadcasting range of the radio waves. This also helps clear the router of possible interferences.
    • Concrete & Metals: Make sure your router isn’t blocked by any other objects, especially devices that are electronic. Also, avoid placing your router in your basement as this area is usually enclosed by a lot of concrete, which can be almost impossible for Wi-Fi signals to penetrate.
    • Distance to Router: The further away from your router you get, the weaker the Wi-Fi signal. Therefore, the best option is to place your router as close to your devices as possible, but this is only practical if you have one main area where you tend to use your devices. Otherwise, you should place your router near the center of your home. After all, Wi-Fi broadcasts in 360 degrees, so it doesn’t make sense to put it at one end of the house.
  5. Usage
    • More likely, however, is that the people on your network such as friends, roommates, or family members are participating in bandwidth-heavy activities like gaming and streaming Ultrabox/Netflix.
    • Fortunately, if this is the case, you can prioritize your own network traffic by enabling Quality of Service in your router settings.
    • If the problem persists, please run a Ping Test/Traceroute Test and attach the picture or screenshot of both test results in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances. Please make sure to attach the required screenshot(s) in ONE file (i.e. Microsoft Word document, PDF, Image file) before submitting the form.



Note:
Astro and its service providers will not offer any guarantees for compatibility of the customer's equipment (e.g., Personal Computer, Notebook, printers) nor provide on site troubleshooting for WiFi service issues related to the customer's equipment.


IF I SUBSCRIBE TO THE MESH WIFI, IS THERE A NEW CONTRACT FOR THE DEVICE?

No, the Mesh WiFi add-on with Astro Fibre is available as subscription service and will not be tied to any device contract.


I DO NOT HAVE AN ASTRO ID YET. CAN I STILL USE THIS SERVICE?

No, you need to have an Astro ID to enjoy the features.


I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THESE NEW PACKS; I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ON/UPGRADE THE OLD PACK SELECTION TO MY SUBSCRIPTION.

We encourage you to upgrade your Astro experience by switching to our new packs to enjoy more choices, value and flexibility. Starting 9 November 2021, you would need to be subscribed to the new packages to make any changes to your subscription.


WILL I LOSE MY CLOUD RECORDINGS WHEN I SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEW PACKS?

The new packs come with 200 hours of Cloud recording by default. If your current recordings exceed 200 hours, the system will delete the exceeded hours once your package has been changed, starting with the oldest recordings first.  

If you would like to retain the previous recordings which exceed 200 hours, you may opt for a selection of 400 or 1500 Cloud Recording hours at a chargeable rate of RM12 or RM15 per month (excl. govt tax) respectively. Or else, you may subscribe to the Platinum pack which comes with complimentary access to 1500 hours of Cloud Recording.


WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WIFI SSID WHEN BAND STEERING IS DISABLED?

When Band Steering is disabled, you will see two separate WiFi SSID based on its frequency bands. Example:

i.SSID: SSID2G, Password: 1234567

ii.SSID: SSID5G, Password: 4567890

*WiFi SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of your wireless network, also known as Network ID. It is viewable to anyone with a wireless device within reachable distance of your network.

Refund process required 5 working days by Astro and additional 3 - 7 working days required subject to the respective processing banks.
