    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:

    • Microwaves
    • Bluetooth Devices
    • 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 Ultra box/ 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 Traceroute Test traces the route of packets to destination host from our server.


    CAN I PERFORM EKYC VERIFICATION ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON, E.G: MY PARENTS OR SPOUSE, IN THEIR ABSENCE?

    No, the eKYC verification process must be done by the individual themselves, using their MyKad and selfie in real-time.


    I'VE PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED FOR AUTO-DEBIT PAYMENT. HOW DO I UPDATE MY PAYMENT DETAILS?

    Please update your auto-debit payment details via My Astro Portal.


    I AM CURRENTLY ON THE OLD MULTIROOM PRICING. WILL I BE AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHED TO THE NEW PRICING?

    No, you will not be automatically switched to the new pricing. To perform a manual switch, please contact us at 03-9543 3838.


    RUN NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS - ULTRA BOX / ULTI BOX

    STEP 1

    SLOW BROWSING AT CERTAIN WEBSITE - TIME

    We would need you to  run few tests in order for us to understand your issue and to assist you in fixing the problem.

    You may proceed with the troubleshooting steps below which should not require any longer than 15 minutes.

    1. Please run each of the tests according to your your Laptop/ PC Software.

    2. Compile the pictures/ screenshots of your test results in one file (i.e Microsof Word document, PDF file) and  attach them in the Support Ticket below in order for us to assist you further:

    • List of websites effected.
    • Run the Speed Test via LAN (cable) and Wi-Fi connection - Please click here for Speed Test guideline.
    • Run the Traceroute Test - Please click here for Traceroute Test guideline.
    • Run the Ping Test -  Please click here for Ping Test guideline.

    3. Once you've gathered all the results, kindly send them all through the Feedback Form below,


    Quick Info
    A Speedtest is a service that provides free analysis of Internet access  parameters, such as connection data rate.
    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.


    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.


    WHAT ARE THE CHARGES FOR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ON MULTI FREQUENCY E.G. EVERY 3 MONTHS, EVERY 6 MONTHS ETC.?

    For multi-frequency customers, RM10.00 is charged per physical bill generated.


    WHAT DO I DO IF I THINK THERE IS AN ERROR REGARDING MY REDEMPTION OF REWARDS AS PART OF ASTRO REWARDS?

    You may reach out to Astro's customer service at 03-95433838 if you think there's an error regarding your redemption or rewards.


    I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY SMS NOTIFICATION ON THE ASTRO BOX & SMART CARD/SIM CARD RETRIEVAL REQUEST?

    For customers with the Ultra or Ulti Box, please ensure to provide your latest contact details to our Astro agent during the call to terminate your account, this includes your mobile number and house address. If you still need further help, please contact us at 03-9543 3838.


    I HAVE ADDED A NETFLIX ACCOUNT TO MY ASTRO BILL. DO I NEED TO PERFORM ANY ACTIVATION?

    By adding a Netflix account to your Astro bill, your Netflix account is already activated. No additional steps for activation are required.


    WHAT INTERNET SPEEDS DO I NEED TO STREAM VIDEO ON DEMAND?

    The minimum recommended internet speed is 10 Mbps for HD videos and 30 Mbps for 4K UHD videos.

    You will be able to watch almost immediately while the content streams through your Astro Box. Buffer time for the video to load will depend on the speed of your broadband.

    Your average internet usage is shown as below:


    WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY DISNEY+ HOTSTAR ACCESS IF MY ASTRO SERVICE IS SUSPENDED?

    Your Disney+ Hotstar will be paused and will only resume once your Astro service is reinstated. 


    WHY DOES ASTRO RECOMMEND THIS FEATURE TO BE DISABLED?

    While this technology has its benefits, different devices at home have different reaction and response to changes in signal strength and quality, and it's almost impossible to predict if they will make good band choices due to the interaction between the devices and the Wifi router. Some smart home devices also recommend that band steering is not used due to various reasons such as needing a constant consistent connection, ability to only connect to a particular band, registration of the respective MAC address, etc..

    Example:

    As single SSID is used, the device may remain on a weak 5GHz network  instead of switching over to stronger 2.4GHz network.


    WHAT IS "PAYMENT DUE DATE"?

    "Payment Due Date" refers to the payment deadline for your Astro bills each month.


    WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY NETFLIX ACCOUNT IF I CANCEL MY ASTRO SERVICE OR CHANGE MY ASTRO PACKAGE?

    If your existing Netflix account is linked with your Astro subscription, your Netflix account will resume on the previous method of payment. If you linked a new Netflix account with your Astro subscription, cancelling Astro service will also cancel your Netflix account.
