ARE THERE ANY DOWNSIDES TO USING A MESH WIFI NETWORK?

Mesh WiFi technology greatly improves the WiFi network coverage within your home and virtually eliminates all WiFi “dead spots”. However, like all technologies there are limitations that you should be aware of.

‍

The pairing of Mesh unit to the WiFi router is automatically handled between the WiFi router and the Mesh unit after it calculates its current position in relation to the WiFi router and surrounding Mesh unit (if available) already connected to the WiFi router.

‍

If you are self-installing the mesh at your house, it is advisable for you to always pair the Mesh unit(s) with the WiFi router only regardless of how many Mesh unit available at your house. 

‍

Please note that if you have a Mesh connected to another Mesh, the expected performance of the WiFi speed will  not perform as  optimally as when compared to a Mesh connected directly to the WiFi router. Adding more points (also referred as Number of hops) in between your device to the WiFi router which will cause a reduction in bandwidth and add latency.


WHAT IS ULTI BOX?

Astro introduces the new Ulti Box with a redesigned new interface, Cloud recording feature, enhanced search capabilities and more. Just connect the all new Ulti Box to the Internet and take control of your entertainment and stream up to 110,000 videos on demand, anytime.

I HAVE TERMINATED THE MESH WIFI SUBSCRIPTION, BUT I'VE FAILED TO RETURN THE DEVICE. IS THERE A PENALTY FEE?

Yes, a penalty fee of RM200/Mesh WiFi unit will be imposed if the customer fails to return the device(s). The courier company will make two attempts to retrieve the Mesh WiFi unit(s) within a period of 30 days, failing which the penalty would be imposed.

 


HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM BAND STEERING FEATURE BEING ENABLED?

If band steering is enabled, you do not need to worry about which frequency band that your devices are connected to because the WiFi router will make the assessment and direct each device to appropriate frequency band.

However, it is important to note that quality and signal strength are not guaranteed due to unpredictability given that it is completely up to the connected devices and the WiFi router to intelligently decide on which band to connect.

 


I DO NOT WISH TO CONTINUE SUBSCRIBING TO ASTRO GO+ AND I HAVE MORE THAN 200 HOURS OF RECORDED CONTENT. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY RECORDED CONTENT?

      UNABLE TO BROWSE OR ACCESS CERTAIN WEBSITE - ALLO

      If you're trying to visit a website and it won't load, but others do, there could be a variety of causes. If the site itself is down, there's not much you can do but wait.

      If you can load the site on other computers or devices (make sure you try different means of connecting to the internet), there may be an issue with your computer or network.

      There are some quick fixes that will solve most problems, but you may have to get your hands a little dirty.
       

      1. Try loading the site on a different device.
        • Try loading the website on your phone or on another computer. If the website loads on the other device, the problem lies with your computer.
        • If the website doesn't load on another device, the problem is either with the network
      2. Restart your computer.
        • Oftentimes, a simple reboot will fix the problem you're having. Reboot your computer and test the website again.
      3. Try loading the site in a different browser.
        • There may be some settings configured incorrectly on your browser. Try a different web browser to see if you can load the website.
      4. Temporarily disable your antivirus program.
        • Your antivirus software may be interfering with your ability to load certain websites.
        • Try disabling the software and then loading the site again. Make sure you enable it again once you have identified the problem.
      5. Reset  your modem and router.
        • Traffic to or from a certain website may be getting tripped up by your modem or router. Resetting these devices may allow you to access the website again.
      6. Check your computer's date and time settings.
        • If your date or time is set incorrectly, you may not be able to connect to secure (https://) websites.
        • Check your computer or mobile device's clock to make sure that it is set to the correct time and date.

      In the event the problem persists, please provide below details for further escalation:

      CAN I PURCHASE MY PREFERRED CHANNELS INDIVIDUALLY (ALA CARTE) FROM THE NEW PACKS?

      We have taken into account customer feedback when introducing these new packs. While we understand the value customers see in purchasing their preferred channels individually, the packaging of media drives the economies of scale necessary to offer content at an affordable price to all our customers.

      Other than the New Astro Packs that offer great value, customers may purchase selected channels or packages as content add-on such as Korean Pack, Horror Pack etc.


      WHAT IS "KIDS FRIENDLY PROFILE"?

      The Kids Friendly Profile is an enhancement to the Kids User Profile feature with the following major improvements:

        Kid-Friendly Channels, On Demand content & TV Guide: Only Kid-friendly channels and On-Demand content can be viewed in the Kids Profile. Other channels and content are not viewable. The same applies to the Kids TV Guide.
      1. PIN control for the Kids Profile:  When switching from a Kids Profile to an adult profile (i.e.: Father or Mother), a PIN entry will be required.
      2. Limited Kids Profile Content Search: Only Kids age-appropriate content can be searched and displayed within the Kids Profile.
      3. Kids Profile Based Recordings: Kids Profiles will have their own personalised age-appropriate recordings without any overlap with other user profiles. This feature will be available from 17th August onwards.

      These enhancements are available across the Astro GO app, Ultra/Ulti Box, and Multiroom Box/Smart TV app.
