2 wrong don't make 1 right. If you're caught tapping on other's network, you're liable for damage payout to the party and sued by service provider

I am currently using singnet broadband.. maybe switching to maxonline at the end of the yr or early next yr.. I got some enquiries in mind.. let me cut it short..

I have 2 desktop computers at home.. one at my dad's bedroom, and the other at my sis bedroom.. the only activated cable point where my cable TV is at the living room... so, if I were to buy a wireless router, where should I place it? at the living room or at one of the bedrooms? wad about the wireless USB connector? connect each of them at my desktop computers?

hope someone can clear my enquiries.. thx...

jz get a wireless router should do... u have to look at the distance b4 placing the router but best is jz place in the middle...

LancerVII SG

I also think of this.. if it is so, the middle place would be my sis bedroom... but her bedroom does not have cable point.. only my living room one had been activated... my dad's room also have cable point.. but haven activated yet..

BrUtUs SG

how far from the living room to sis n dad room?

LancerVII SG

as from the cable point in the living room to my sis bedroom computer is ard
8-9 metres... den to my dad's bedroom is ard 10-11 metres...

BrUtUs SG

put in living room lo, if cannot receive then use wireless repeaters...

strikefreedom SG

place it at the cable point first, then check the signal strength for both computers and see if it at excellent. if it not, then move it around till you get max signal strength for both comp.

if i'm not wrong, placing it at the living room is enough for the wireless to penetrate into the room. i have no problems with that, personally. Smile

Xcert SG

for at least the 802.11G standard,yes.

LancerVII SG

wad u mean? u mean the wireless G router like Linksys one?

LancerVII SG

wad do u mean by wireless repeaters? USB wireless connector I heard b4.. but wireless repeaters I never heard b4... how does it look like?

FadeToBlack SG

Don't matter what la..

as long as in the house, should be able to receive one..

you know what? yes, i go downstairs the void deck, still can use my internet..

Xcert SG

yup.not only linksys but for any wireless routers...802.11g is the current standard...there are also 802.11a and 802.11b wireless routers available...cheaper but signal strength not as strong...those can't pass thru walls...not useful for ur case.

sinicker SG

placing the router in the living room is enough. my hse one comp, 2 laptops. my bro go void deck still can use. i live on 9th floor.

BrUtUs SG

the shop call it wireless expander... but if your router good then might not need so jz install in living room then see if the signal can received anot before moving further...

Agenda SG

Aiyo, If you want to use routers for Cable.. Rather just use Singnet la.. Cable very crowded 1 leh.. Esp at heartlands area

Xcert SG

using singnet or cable has nothing to do with using routers or not.

LancerVII SG
