StarHub slow internet in Singapore: tests, evidence and complaints

If your StarHub connection is slow or unreliable, start with these equipment checks. Then document a repeatable result and ask for a specific investigation.

Applies to: Paths checked in StarHub’s Broadband Routers FAQ for the HB410, HB615, HB710, EB810v and EX510, and in TP-Link’s HB-series mesh user guide (REV1.0.0), which TP-Link lists for the HB410 and HB710. The guide’s router-mode menus are used, matching StarHub’s Advanced paths; the EB810v has its own TP-Link manual and may differ in places.Checked: 3 November 2026

When this helps

  • You use StarHub in Singapore.
  • Your connection is slower than expected, drops out or performs badly at certain times.

Check your StarHub TP-Link router

These checks apply to StarHub TP-Link router. Check the model before following its menus.

  1. In the browser, open Advanced › Status for the internet and Wi-Fi details.

  2. Advanced › System Tools › System Log lists events; click Save Log to keep a copy.

  3. Advanced › System Tools › Diagnostics runs ping and traceroute from the router.

  4. In the app, More › Test Internet Speed runs a speed test; StarHub suggests choosing its own server.

Separate the service from your home Wi-Fi

For the exact settings and supported equipment, see the StarHub TP-Link router guide.

Do not factory-reset the equipment as a first step. A reset can erase service settings and interrupt phone service.

  1. Compare a wired connection to the router with Wi-Fi on the same device.

  2. Repeat the same test server during the slowdown and at a quieter time.

  3. Record download, upload, latency and whether another household device was using the connection.

How to complain to StarHub

Use StarHub’s official support to report the fault. Request a formal complaint reference if it remains unresolved.

Include the plan wording, dates, test conditions, previous references and the specific outcome you want. Ask for a written response.

Check the complaints procedure in your Singapore service contract before escalating. Use the national regulator’s consumer guidance for your service.
