I cannot connect to main modem page via web browser. What do i need to do?
One of the messages that appear is that you are working offline. (check one or more options below)

2. Under File menu left unclick "Work offline"

3. Ensure that your PC is obtaining IP address automatically. this can be checked in the control panel > network connections >right-click Local Area Network > highlight TCP/Ip > right-click TCP/Ip and choose properties.

I have an ADSL Modem. Will it work if I use this one?
No. First the ADSL connection is not an Ethernet port. Also ADSL modems cannot perform routing between WAN interface and LAN interface.Wireless Access Points also cannot work on their own and need a router connected to the Astra Modem.

What Wired or Wireless Router can I use?
In order to connect more than one computer you will need a router (wired or wireless) with an Ethernet port. The Wide Area Network WAN port connects to the Astra2 modem and the Local Area Network Port connect connects to your network. Some ports have between 4 to 8 LAN ports. A switch can then be added to the LAN port for additional PC connections.

Both the WAN and LAN ports should obtain IP address automatically from the router. Wireless is by default disabled and needs to be activated. Refer to router manual for instructions of setting up a secure wireless network. Do NOT leave it open to abuse.

An ADSL or Access Point will not work as they are not desined to perform routing

Is there a commitment?
Yes. The subscription contract is for one year whether you pay annually or choose the monthly payment scheme.
If you stop the service for any reason, the balance of your annual contract remains payable.

What about TV from Astra 1 at 19°East or SKY at 28.2°East?
The dual clamp can be fitted to receive either Astra 1 at 19°East or Astra 2 at 28.2°East but not both. Your choice is either 19°E (European TV) + 23.5°E (internet) or 28.2°E (UK TV) + 23.5°E (internet).

What mount do I need?
The Az/El mount fits any standard pole from 40 - 70mm. As long as it is secure and vertical, you can use a wall mount, pole mount or patio mount

What’s included in a standard installation?
A standard installation is no more than 30m cable run from the dish to the satmodem (or TV receiver), on a south-facing wall with no special access requirements – typically no higher than the first storey. If your install is non-standard, the installer should tell you on arrival on site and clear any extra costs with you directly before proceeding.

What is the size of the dish?
Beyondsl uses a special 79cm dish.

Where do I get technical support after the installation has taken place?
