I CAN'T CONNECT MY ULTRA PLUG & PLAY BOX TO WI-FI. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO FIX THIS?

Step 1: Separate Your Wi-Fi Network Name
First, you need to set up your Wi-Fi to Dual-band in order to be less susceptible to interference, and allows you to choose between the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands when connecting a device. A Wi-Fi frequency of 5GHz is best when you are near your router, and 2.4GHz is best for when you are far from your router.
Check the bottom of your router for a website or IP address, username, and password.
Below are details for a standard login based on a standard router issued by ISP (Telekom Malaysia, Maxis, and Time dot Com)
Login to your account
Identify your Wi-fi Settings (This could be in advanced settings)
Identify both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz options.
Split the signals by renaming the 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals respectively, and make sure both are enabled.
For detailed instructions based on router model, on how to separate your Wi-Fi, click here and choose the option according to your ISP and router brand.
Step 2: Factory reset your Ultra Box by following the steps below.
a. Press the Home button on your remote
b. Go to your settings page
c. Scroll down and select Reset/Restore
d. Select restore factory settings and proceed
e. Enter your PIN to access restore factory settings (default pin: 0000)
f. Choose restore and wait until the box reboots automatically. This may take around 2 minutes and you will see the Astro logo again when it's done.
