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.

Your existing offers with us will not be affected and will continue until the agreed upon date.

Option 1

1. Please turn off all devices (Modem and Router). By restarting your modem, you can isolate the possibility of overloaded processes in the modem, which would  impact its performance.    

2. Ensure the fiber cable from your wall socket and modem is securely connected.

Notes: You might be connected to LAN 1 if backbone is Maxis

Router connection

3. Please make sure the LAN cable is connected properly from router (Port 1-4 - Yellow port) to PC/Laptop.

4. If the issue persists, submit your feedback form and attach your modem light indicator picture/video for further assistance.
 

Option 2/ Option 3/ Option 5/ Option 6

1. Please turn off all devices (Modem and Router). By restarting your modem, you can isolate the possibility of overloaded processes in the modem, which would  impact its performance.

2. Ensure the fiber cable from your wall socket and modem is securely connected.

3. Ensure both cables on the Modem (LAN Port 2) and Router (WAN Port - Red port) are properly connected.

Notes: You might be connected to LAN 1  if backbone is Maxis

Router connection

4. Please make sure the LAN cable is connected properly from router (Port 1-4 - Yellow port) to PC/Laptop.

5. Please make sure both cables on Router (Any Yellow port) and Astro Decoder (Network Port behind decoder) are properly inserted.

6. Switch on modem and router and please wait for 2 minutes to stabilise the devices after reboot.

7. If the issue persists, submit your feedback form and attach your modem light indicator picture/video for further assistance.

Option 4

1. Ensure Modem/Router are connected tightly to the power socket.

2. Try to use another power socket / power source to eliminate faulty power sockets/power sources which  could cause the issue.

3. If the issue persists, submit your feedback form for further assistance.

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.
