- 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 WiFi 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, WiFi broadcasts in 360 degrees, so it doesn't make sense to put it at one end of the house.
- 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, WiFi routers, satellites, cell towers, and more.
- Although WiFi 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
- Surrounding Wi-Fi signals
- A truth of the modern world is that every household has their own WiFi 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.
- 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.
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.
No, you are not allowed to change your due date or maintain your old due date. Your current due date is as per Astro Policy. Therefore, to ensure that you continue to enjoy uninterrupted services, we advise you to observe this change in due date from Day 30 to Day 25 and proceed with the necessary payment.
Depending on your service, it is mandatory to return some devices as per our T&Cs, whilst other devices should be disposed of and recycled at collection centres registered under the Department of Environment. To find out what you should do with your devices after service termination, please click here.
If you add on the Mesh WiFi during your initial order of Astro Fibre, there is no additional installation fee. If you order the Mesh WiFi as an add-on at a later time, you will have to pay RM49 per installer visit. However, if you choose to have the Mesh WiFi delivered via courier in order to self-install your Mesh WiFi, there will be no installation or delivery fee charged.
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.
- Please run each of the tests according to your your Laptop/PC Software.
- 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:
