INTERNET INTERMITTENT OR FREQUENT DISCONNECTION - ASTRO FIBRE

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 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:
    i) Microwaves
    ii) Bluetooth Devices
    iii) 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 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.

4. Once you have successfully login, the router's web-based setup page will appear.

5. At the top of the page, click Wi-Fi Configuration to configure the Wi-Fi parameters.

6. You may change the Wi-Fi Name and the Password to follow your preferences, then click "Save" for the changes to take place.

Please reconnect to the new wireless name with the new password once completed.


PHONE LINE ISSUE - TIME

Having trouble with  your phone line ?

You may proceed to contact below dedicated service provider directly

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.

 


WILL I BE CHARGED FOR ASTRO GO+?

For Platinum Pack and Multiroom Smart TV customers, Astro GO+ is included in your subscription at no extra charge. For customers on other packages, you will be able to add-on Astro GO+ to your subscription for RM 5.99/month.


I AM CURRENTLY SUBSCRIBED TO THE PREVIOUS ASTRO PACKS (FAMILY PACK, STARTER PACK, VALUE PACK, SUPER PACK LITE, SUPER PACK OR SUPER PACK PLUS). HOW CAN I SUBSCRIBE TO MULTIROOM (SMART TV)?

Please switch your current subscriptions to our new Astro packs to subscribe to Multiroom (Smart TV). To sign up, WhatsApp "SWITCH" to 03-9543 3838 and an agent will assist you.

Find out more of our new packs at https://product.astro.com.my/tv


I RECENTLY GOT AN ULTI BOX, WILL ASTRO REQUIRE ME TO SWAP MY BOX IF I SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEW PACKS?

No, if you already have an Ulti box you will not be required to swap the box to enjoy the new packs. However, if you would like to access 4K UHD content, you may upgrade to Ultra Box. Installation and activation fees will be chargeable depending on your package selection.


I'VE ALREADY MADE THE ADVANCE PAYMENT UPON SIGN-UP, WHAT DO I HAVE TO PAY IN THE FIRST MONTH?

In your first Astro bill, the first month's bill will be deducted accordingly excluding tax. You will still need to pay the full tax amount for your first month as per your first month's bill.

Note: Advance payment is only applicable to Astro TV pack purchases. If you subscribe to an Astro Fibre + TV bundle, only one month of your TV subscription fee (excluding tax) is required to be paid upon sign-up. The full tax amount and the first-month subscription fee for Astro Fibre will be paid on your first month's bill.


CAN I GET AN ULTRA/ULTI BOX WITH ASTRO & BROADBAND?

Yes, you will enjoy an Ulti box when subscribing to Primary/Entertainment/ Movie Pack OR an Ultra box when subscribing to Sports/Sports+/Movies+/Premium 1/Premium 2/Premium 3/Platinum Pack.

You will get FREE installation for both Ultra/Ulti box upon signing up with Astro & Broadband.


I HAVE MY OWN MESH DEVICE; CAN I USE IT WITH ASTRO FIBRE?

Yes, as long as it is compatible with Open Mesh standards and Astro Fibre equipment. However, Astro will not be responsible for managing or configuring the device. For the optimum WiFi experience, please pair your Astro Fibre with Astro's Mesh WiFi.


I AM AN EXISTING ASTRO IPTV CUSTOMER, HOW SHOULD I CONNECT MY PLUG & PLAY BOX TO THE INTERNET?

Please refer below to set up your Ultra/Ulti Plug & Play Box.

To connect via LAN cable: 

  1. Switch off your old Astro box.
  2. To connect your Plug& Play Box via LAN cable:
    a) Remove the LAN cable from your old Astro box and connect the LAN cable to your new Plug & Play Box.
    i) For Maxis IPTV customers, keep the other end of the LAN cable connected to your router.
    ii) For TIME IPTV customers, go to the other end of the same LAN cable, plug it out from your modem, and into any LAN port on your router. Ensure that you’re not plugging your LAN cable back into the same box.
    ‍

Note: If you have a two-in-one modem & router, you can skip Step ii).  

To connect via Wi-Fi:

Remove your LAN cable from your old Astro box, and do not plug it into your new Plug & Play Box.


WHAT INTERNET SPEEDS DO I NEED TO STREAM VIDEO ON DEMAND?

The minimum recommended internet speed is 10 Mbps for HD videos and 30 Mbps for 4K UHD videos.

You will be able to watch almost immediately while the content streams through your Astro Box. Buffer time for the video to load will depend on the speed of your broadband.

Your average internet usage is shown as below:


DELETE PROFILE

STEP 1
On your remote, press the Home button and the Home Page will be displayed on your screen.



STEP 2

STEP 6

STEP 7

STEP 8
The deleted profile will be removed from the Profile Selection Screen.


IF I DO NOT WANT A PARTICULAR SERVICE/PACK THAT IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE NEW PACKS, CAN I REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER?

I am sorry you can't. While we understand the value customers see in choosing their preferred service/pack individually, the packaging of channels/services in the new packs are necessary for us to offer content/services at an affordable price to our customers.


CAN I GET AN ULTRA/ULTI BOX WITH ASTRO FIBRE?

Yes, you are entitled to a free Ultra/Ulti box with free standard installation upon signing up Astro Fibre with a new 24-month contract.


WHY CAN'T I GET MAXIMUM SPEED BASED ON MY SUBSCRIPTION PACKAGE (500/800MBPS) ON MY LAPTOP/MOBILE PHONE?

As a rule of thumb, this issue might happen when the devices are not equipped with minimum requirement above that supports the subscribed internet speeds:

  • WiFi technology
  • Network Interface Card (NIC)
 

As mentioned above however, it is important to note that despite meeting the device minimum requirements, it is not a guarantee that devices connected over WiFi will be able to achieve maximum subscribed internet speeds due to the following:

  1. Bad WiFi signal quality and coverage across the area due to:
    • Distance from the RGW/Mesh AP with connected device
    • Obstruction within the house (walls, metallic surfaces)
    • Interference with other household appliances
  2. Congested bandwidth
    • If there are too many devices connected to the WiFi network, then the bandwidth might be overloaded with traffic hence, slowing down the speed
  3.  Devices are connected using WiFi instead of wired using LAN.
    • It is important to note that wired connection offers better reliability and speed over WiFi.
    • WiFi is more prone to interference compared to a wired connection which causes lower speeds and dropped signal.
  4. 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 Wi-Fi 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, Wi-Fi broadcasts in 360 degrees, so it doesn’t make sense to put it at one end of the house.
  5. 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.



Note:
Astro and its service providers will not offer any guarantees for compatibility of the customer's equipment (e.g., Personal Computer, Notebook, printers) nor provide on site troubleshooting for WiFi service issues related to the customer's equipment.


HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM BAND STEERING FEATURE BEING DISABLED?

You have the liberty to manage device connection on your own.


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.


WHICH NEW PACK COMES WITH NETFLIX?

Any packages with Entertainment Plus, Movies Plus & Sports Plus will include Netflix. The default Netflix offering is Netflix Standard (2 screens and HD viewing) as part of your Entertainment Plus, Movies Plus and Sports Plus subscription. You can upgrade up to Netflix Premium (4 screens and 4K UHD viewing) at a price of RM 10 (inclusive of govt. tax).  

Note: For the above subscriptions, you may use the email address used for your existing subscription with Netflix to activate and the future billing for Netflix will be transferred to your Astro bundle charges. For users that are billed for Netflix through Apple before joining the Astro bundle, remember to cancel your Apple billing arrangement after activating the Astro bundle else you may be double charged for your Netflix account.

If you do not have a bundle which includes Netflix, you may also add a new Netflix subscription to your Astro Bill for billing convenience.

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.

WHAT IS BAND STEERING?

Band Steering is a functionality that our WiFi router (Huawei K562E) has that intelligently connects devices to its WiFi to the best frequency bands available based on usage, speed and coverage by using only one same SSID for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band.

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:
