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 MESH WIFI NETWORK?

Mesh WiFi network refers to a unified wireless network that is formed by utilizing inter-connected WiFi nodes (Mesh devices) placed throughout the house.


WHY AM I SEEING A "ZERO CHARGE' ON MY DISNEY+ HOTSTAR APP?

HOW LONG DOES PAYMENT VIA CHEQUE TAKE TO BE POSTED?

Payment via cheque will take 3 - 5 working days to be posted. If you require faster payment posting, we recommend you to pay online via Astro Quick Pay.


DO I NEED TO CONFIGURE THE WIFI PARAMETERS ONCE MESH NETWORK IS SET UP?

The WiFi SSID and password of the Mesh unit will be automatically synchronized to the WiFi router. Hence, there is no need to configure the WiFi parameters.

*WiFi SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of your wireless network, also known as Network ID. It is viewable to anyone with a wireless device within reachable distance of your network.

INTERNET INTERMITTENT OR FREQUENT DISCONNECTION - ALLO

Intermittent internet connection using LAN cable
Looks like there is something wrong with your service connection.
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 ensure to attach the required screenshot(s) in ONE file (i.e. Microsoft Word document, PDF, Image file) before submitting the form.
Intermittent internet connection using WiFi
  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.
    • 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.
  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,  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:
      1. Microwaves
      2. Bluetooth Devices
      3. Cordless Phone
  3. 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.
  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 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.

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.
