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.


CAN I RESTRICT PROGRAMMES FROM BEING VIEWED BASED ON THE AGE RATING?

Yes, you can restrict programmes based on the age rating by going to "Settings” > “Parental Controls & Profiles” on your Astro Box and Astro GO app. Alternatively, you may also create a Kids Profile that provides security with a 4-digit PIN to exit and accessibility to kids-friendly channels and On Demand content only.

Looks like there is  something wrong with your service connection.

Please run the Speed Test and attach the picture or screenshot of the  speed test in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances.

Click here for Speed Test guideline.

 

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


Slow browsing 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 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.


HOW LONG WILL I GET TO ENJOY THIS SPEED UPGRADE FOR?

For customers whose sign-up speed is 50Mbps, 100Mbps or 500Mbps, you will get to enjoy your upgraded speed of 100Mbps/500Mbps/800Mbps for 24 months.
