ndmmxiaomayi SG Yup, you have to get one with a modem. I tried to do wireless for my 2 PCs and one laptop, only the laptop succeed in connecting to the Net. The 2 PCs die also don't want to connect until I get some cables to connect them.
niwde1980 SG hi hisoka you may wanna see ur starhub rewards points is enough to exchange for the router ? starhub has this version WRT54G . you can flash the firmware inside
niwde1980 SG i think fuwell is also about this price...fyi usually the price gap will not be that much .
sillyme SG Mooku, I have another suggestion. If your current broadband plan is out of contract, go renew it and ask for a free router (plus other freebies).
MooKu SG I no go Sim Lim before... Is it like very lok kok like People's Park Centre? The shops run by uncles one?
the_don SG hi mooookkieeee!!! firstly i agree with silly abt getting freebies from renewing ur contract. make sure you know wat you need then see if they can give you wat u need. i've been reading your posts but still cannot make out wat u need leh (or maybe i blur ). anyway here is some stuff u might wan to find out first: 1) what broke down (this i think u know oready) 2) wat do have now? modem with routing capabilities (this means u still gotta connect to a hub/switch for sharing your connection) a modem and router as 2 different boxes? (this means you got one box (modem) that connects to another box (router), then share the internet conection) modem and router all in one (one box only. this box connects to your internet plus shares the connection) 3) your internet connection is it with singtel/pacnet or with starhub? singtel/pacnet will connect from phone to modem. starhub is different (this i dun know liao). if you r getting a new modem/router all in one, you have to take note of this about getting freebies from your internet service provider. i had v v bad experience with singnet staff. they gave me the wrong info abt the modem before. so i would suggest you bring someone who knows abt these things when u go ask abt the freebies. then again, the easiest thing to do is to ask a fren who knows abt such stuff to go with you. i'm sure many GENTLEMEN here would volunteer their services plus fix up the whole thing for you
the_don SG you one young gal go there sure kenna "chop carrot head". but then u might also get a good deal for being the only cutie around
the_don SG oh on another note. if you are using wireless modem/router, please remember to secure your connection. you dun wan pple “borrowing” your broadband or “sniffing” your data.
MooKu SG Hihi dondon!!!!!!! Hmmm... Actually I don't know what broke down. The router has been giving me problems ever since the earthquake. Sometimes not all the lights that are supposed to be on are on. Sometimes the router will turn off and on by itself. It just doesn't always give me internet connection even though Pacific Internet has said our line is perfectly fine and there's no sign of disruption on their side. So I emailed Aztech, and they said something might be wrong with my power adaptor. PacNet mentioned this too. Aztech then asked me to take my router to their Ubi office for a check... but I'm kinda lazy. And because it's not under warranty (nobody sent out the card!), my sister says I might as well buy a new router to replace the current one that's about more than 2 years old. Mine is modem and router all in one (one box only. this box connects to your internet plus shares the connection). Heeheeheeheheheh gentlemen... I'd actually much much prefer if dondon were to come with me instead Tmr I go check out some electrical stores in Parkway first. If don't have then I ah... will go to either Funan or Sim Lim and err... see who wants to come with me.
the_don SG aiyoh. i is not technically inclined. not v good with this kind of thing. since yours is a all-in-one, i think better ask those who know to help you. mine is a modem + switch (2boxes) different set up. why not call pacnet (tt is your isp i supposed) and ask if they got any free modem with router if you recontract your line? if they do, u can get them to set up for you also. but if they dun, you might want to grab someone to help you out. if you wan i can get TX to ask his fren (working in sim lim) if he does modem with routers. but i dun know if the price will be good or not. you can ask TX can go with you to sim lim to check it out (depend he free or not tho). u got his number ya?
the_don SG mookieeeee, i just spoke to TX. he say his fren's sim lim shop should have. he can bring u there. give him a call if u need la
MooKu SG sillyme managed to find one model for me I think I'll bring the router to Aztech after all, because I noticed it's actually only 1 yr old and not 2. But if the cost of repair is higher than getting a new one, then I'll get a new one... hopefully from Aztech, then I can ask them for one that has the same capabilities as my current one... maybe the one sillyme picked out. Hehehe you know what happened this afternoon... I was trying to flip the router over to check the model number... and then I got disconnected. x_x And my contract only expires end-May... so no free router for me now.
