fonera router in S'pore

[jookhai]

Finally got mine too......but was unable to connect to MyPlace.........Try changing WPA/WPA2 as well as the encryption (TKIP/AES). I had a similar problem with my laptop's Intel Proset Wireless until I changed it to WPA2-AES.

[jookhai]

so is it using sma or tnc connector for the antenna?Watch out for the connector type especially if you are buying those outdoor high gain antennas. It's RP-SMA (reversed polarity SMA). Anything that doesn't fit this and you will have to search for an adaptor, so do check the packaging first before you buy.

Hey Thanks for reply.....where can I change this setting? Do I visit my singnet under Configure the Wireless Network>Wireless Security?
At the Authentication: there are only the following:
WEP-OPEN
WEP-SHARED
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK
WPA2-PSK
I cant find a WPA2-AES there

I know I sounds stupid but this is where I learn from nice pple like you hope U will bare with my ignorant.... Well thanks for reading & reply too

Well thanks for reading & reply tooYou do not need to care about the settings on the 2WIRE. In fact, I assume your La Fonera is connected directly to your 2WIRE using a straight-through LAN cable - APs generally cannot connect to APs, so don't try to link both up wirelessly without a game adapter/bridge or third-party firmware.

It is advised to disable the wireless interface on your 2WIRE (to save power as well as reduce the risk of hackers/moochers since the La Fonera broadcasts a public and a private signal), then configure the WPA/WPA2 settings on your laptops/PCs/PSP etc. The 10-digit WPA/WPA2 key code that you will be prompted for is the serial number of your La Fonera. Do NOT ever release this code - it is private, your personal WPA PIN.

Also, do take note that not all Wi-Fi devices can support WPA/WPA2. Check if everything you intend to connect to MyPlace (especially smart phones, PSP, game consoles) are WPA/WPA2 compatible. Then choose the appropriate standard to use - WPA2 if everything supports it, else WPA or as a last resort, the easily crackable WEP.

Now can buy FON router @ coming IT SHOW. You can check at their website www.fon.sg

The reason why people still get from overseas is because it is cheaper when they consolidate and order.

[Scuderia]

I'm wondering what default firmware those @ coming IT SHOW will be.
0.7.1-2??? :-(

Also curious to know what is the official stand the local ISPs with regard to FON being used on their network, now that it is officially launched in Singapore.

[steventay]

can't the firmware be downgrade?

ISP Contracts and FON, Should You Worry?

http://english.martinvarsavsky.net/fon/isp-contracts-and-fon-should-you-worry.html#more

in another article, fon's founder wrote the below which address the issue of ppl doing something illegal on your wireless.

I have same sentiments as him. dun join fon if you have concerns ^^

# 17

Michael,

as I said repeatedly Fon keeps records that show that if any illegal activity happens on a line it is NOT the responsibility of the Fonero. We have over 100,000 foneras connected, we get 20K more every month around the world and we have not had a single problem like this, not one.

But I see that a few people around the world are obsessed about this issue and keep writing about it. My answer, please do not join Fon, we don´t want people who will lose sleep over this, we want happy foneros.

I'm wondering what default firmware those @ coming IT SHOW will be.
0.7.1-2??? :-(The firmware that came with my La Fonera router collected from Skydio (the distributor for FON in Singapore) was 0.7.1 r2. Don't worry about firmware - just do not turn off your La Fonera during the first 5 minutes whenever you power it up, and it will download any new firmware. Such firmware will be automatically flashed in, while configuration settings will be updated/remain.

[jookhai]

Is anyone experiencing problems with setting the position of your social router in the configuration page? I can't find any "Save Changes" button and the Google Map places my position right in the middle of Tampines Road.

If anyone else is experiencing this too, kindly help to fire off bug reports.

Please don't tell me to install Firefox. It doesn't update/uninstall clean and that screwed my PC.

[liangtam]

IF you're having issues with Firefox, it must have mean that you have a corrupted copy.

Made a trip down to Skydio earlier on to collect the FON. Well the difference is in the power adaptor that is included. Local flavor uses the 3 pin header while the one we got from US is using the 2 pin flat.

you buy router from Skydio ?

[shadowandy]

you buy router from Skydio ?


There was an event earlier on conducted here to give 3 free FON to forum members. Took part in it. :) If you wish to have the power brick and don't wish to wait. You can consider getting from Skydio. I wrote about My trip down to Skydio (http://www.shadowandy.net/_html/archives/2007/03/trip_to_skydio.html)

[jookhai]

Beware of the power supply adaptor that comes with the local La Fonera ... It's not electrically isolated and you may get a mild electric shock if you touch the contacts of the DC plug.

If you have a test pen at home, test it and you'll see the indicator glow. Most DVE brand SMPS adaptors give this problem.

[liangtam]

I don't know where you see the DVE brand, but my adapter didn't give me that feeling I got from an old Acer laptop external cd rom drive with DVE brand adapter tho.

Then again, i find the 2pin design much better than those regular 2 circle header found from most other adapter and electrical device, at least the contacts are stable when connect in with a multiplug.

[zoneguard]

There are 2 versions of the US 2-pin adapters. The newer one comes with ferrite core.

do proceed with caution, to configure openwrt kamikaze is not solely thru x-wrt interface. some of the configurations cannot be done thru webif and need you to manually go to edit the files in "/etc/config"

[steventay]

hi, anyone have any spare wireless router to loan (wireless B is ok) .... i still waiting for my FON router....

i might not want to wait for the FON router in US shipment... and just buy locally...

too long to wait and i need it urgently as my singnet is terminate Mar 17 and i will apply Starhub maxonline without contract and my existing router (adsl wireless router all in one) cannot use.

please reply me by tonight as i will be going IT show tomorrow and get it....

thank you....

[richneo]

if u are going to IT show and buy it, why still nid to loan?

[Scuderia]

Thanks for the caution. I read about that too. Some times CLI is easier than the webif.

indeed, at least kamikaze runs on config file rather than nvram settings. Makes editing alot easier. Still waiting for time to explore how to config chilispot correctly for fon, since i have got fon to compare with le.

[steventay]

if u are going to IT show and buy it, why still nid to loan?


i have not go yet.

going to IT show on Sunday afternoon....

hope to get a loan wireless router.....

[richneo]

all my fon is out. =(

hope the new owners enjoy their fon..

i still have 2 fon havent arrive

[richneo]

i have not go yet.

going to IT show on Sunday afternoon....

hope to get a loan wireless router.....
if u going to buy tomolo, why loan?

[steventay]

if u going to buy tomolo, why loan?


i mean if i can loan any type of wireless router... than i no need to buy the FON at IT show.. i can wait for it to arrive.

cause i need it by next week....as i will terminate singnet on mar 17.

[liangtam]

If the La Fonera from US dosn't arrive at vPost there, there you'll still need to buy one afterall.

[richneo]

i mean if i can loan any type of wireless router... than i no need to buy the FON at IT show.. i can wait for it to arrive.

cause i need it by next week....as i will terminate singnet on mar 17.
so if u buy fon tomolo and fon arrived at vpost usa, wun u have 2 fons?

im going to face that scenario very soon.

[steventay]

if i get thre FON router from IT show ... can i dont want the FON from US?

i thought only need to wait 2 week... to ship to singapore

[richneo]

if i get thre FON router from IT show ... can i dont want the FON from US?

i thought only need to wait 2 week... to ship to singapore
when fon arrives at usa, even if u dun wan it, vpost will ship to singapore after 3 days without reply from you.

and if u dun pay up, holding charge will apply at $10 per item for every week after 14 days

no harm emailing vpost to ask them if they can discard your package.

imho, is a very irresponsible thing to do and sooner or later fon might ban all vpost address

and you will be wasting 1 of my invite permanently unless you activate ur account using the new fon u bought in singapore

shipment from usa to singapore is less den 8 days.

shipment from fon to vpost is another issue

[Scuderia]

how? succeed liaoz?
No time to explore it this week. Probably next weekend.

[steventay]

that why i hope to loan a wireless router... wireless B also can.

and then i can wait for the FON to arrive.

anyone have any to spare to loan me.....

thank you..

Anyway flashing to openwrt is same as flashing to dd. A full flashing job takes around half an hour including setting up of haserl and webif package.

damn....if need to rma must go all the way to Ayer Rajah Crescent..

From what I see on the box, 2 years limited warranty. Regarding warranty for FON in Singapore, would need to clarify with Skydio.

For bricked sets, then I don't know le.

Ask for new invites from members and ship another one over. More cost effective than shipping to the US and back.

[liangtam]

The previous person who have shared you his invitation will not regain it back!

[Scuderia]

It is important to always register and activate the Fon upon receiving a unit. Otherwise, the person who share the invite will not regain back. Can always apply a new account using an alternate email like what some one in this thread did.

This also apply to those who are thinking of flashing the Fon. Activate the Fon before doing any thing else. By activating and registering your account will also change your status from Alien to Linus or Bill.

mine already -1, coz the code i sent to my friend doesn't work

and i think the other guy didnt activate his fon, so i only left with 1 invites (which i'm waiting for it to arrive)

[richneo]

drastic measure will be..

send last invite to myself den activate the one queeky sending me so the new account will get 3 invites

oh yar for all members who activate their fon, will get invites.

1 if u put singapore address 3 if u put location as usa

I tried setting the IP address on the local area network but still cant work. I had register myself on the website. I am now at a total loss. Skydio ppl did not reply to me with the ans.

Can anyone guide me step by step to it pls. your help is gr8 ly appreciated. thks. my email is bar_tender_devil@yahoo.com

this guide is for 0.7.1 r1....

what about 0.7.1 r2 ? wonder what firmware will the FON router be which i order... still no news....

[bardevil]

Hey Bros out there i have prob connecting the router to the network of my flexisurf modem. I had tried all recommended ways in the booklet still cant work eg setting IP address. I cant detect the public Fon_ network. There is only "My Place" network. can anyone guide me thru. really appreciate it. my email is bar_tender_devil@yahoo.com Thks!!!

[Cloudiax]

Why you need to detect the public Fon_ network?

I thought you should be using the "My Place" network?

[liangtam]

You cannot share a near 'useless' Flexisurf FREE connection. You will never see the Fon SSID appearing unless it can 'call home' to Fon.

Yeh. Just set up a small dns server to resolve "radius01.fon.com" to his spoofed address "88.198.165.155" and you are done. He's already done all the hard work.

he oready set up for us.

just set "88.198.165.155" as the primary dns server for ur connection can liaoz

it will resolve "radius01.fon.com" to "kolofonium.datenbruch.de"

Actually, it's a form of status display.

Private SSID shown means that the router is up and running.

Public SSID shown means that the router is up and running and there's a working internet connection.

Yes. For those connecting the Fon to router can just change the primary DNS in the router. But must remember to change back after you are done since all other dns requests will not be accepted.

Cloudiax, DD-WRT enhances routers like Fon with many features e.g. wireless repeater. Check it out here
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_is_DD-WRT%3F

I want to lom pang your vpost shipment. What should i provide?

[Cloudiax]

So does flashing FON with DD-WRT voids its warranty?

If you want to lom pang my vPOST, you can use the USA address I have provided. It will take some time before it reach the vPOST USA office and from there, they will ship it back to SG.

[EK9]

Can I tom pang also? :o

[Cloudiax]

Can I tom pang also? :oI PM you the address liaoz. I will PM you again regarding the payments for the vPOST after your router has reached.

From the german blog of fon, flashing to other firmwares does void the warranty. But if you can flash it back, then they wouldn't know. But the thing is, if you can flash back to fon firmware, why the need for warranty? Unless you bricked it thru upgrading to fon firmwares (which I doubt).

[shadowandy]

cannot guarantee that it can work as repeater (although the webif of dd-wrt suggest that it is possible). Where do you live? If you want to pay for the postage to and fro then I might be able to help you flash.

Will FON be wondering why is there so many people requesting the routers to the same location?

[richneo]

yes.

they oready noticed that.

just a matter of time before they ban our vpost address if we get out of hand and all received start flashing ddwrt and stop sharing their internet

[shadowandy]

yes.

they oready noticed that.

just a matter of time before they ban our vpost address if we get out of hand and all received start flashing ddwrt and stop sharing their internet

Yeah. I don't recommend flashing to other firmwares (openwrt kamikaze/dd-wrt) unless it is a spare and you have another device (from Linksys or Asus) running the FON firmware to share your connection.

No doubt it is free (but you have to pay for the shipping cost which varies). But consider only using VPost for 1 FON. It cost around SGD$30. And you still need to spend the time to understand how to flash to dd-wrt (which you need to hack to enabled the ssh, flash redboot settings, set up tftp server for flashing). Must as well spend $50 more to get a cheap WRT54GL which has an additional 4 port switch, dual antenna (although FON has got two but one is not attached), higher dbi antenna and boost higher transmission power. Best of all, flashing to dd-wrt/openwrt is less problematic.

So IF you are getting FON to flash it to dd-wrt just to FOLLOW what the group here is doing. Forget it and get a wrt54gl instead.

Of cos people may say that they are setting up a small, configurable, flexible ethernet-to-wireless bridge. But then think of it, it is still unethical if you are getting the FON free. (The only cost you are paying for is the shipping cost which fon doesn't earn).

At the end of the day, if you still wish to get a FON and flashing to other firmwares. Get it locally. At least you paid for it (money goes to fon side instead of vpost).

[iphoting]

yes.

they oready noticed that.

just a matter of time before they ban our vpost address if we get out of hand and all received start flashing ddwrt and stop sharing their internet
I think they wouldn't mind as long as the routers get registered and are sharing internet connection.

get urs at $30, i rather ppl get from fon.sg with local warranty some more.

moreover, if u are sincere in giving away, u can still do it concurrently.

thats what i think also.

ppl surf hwzone and vrzone and qqspot has bad reputation in vrzone and he likes sending pm to question ppl in vrzone

maybe its now time for him to put his words into actions to regain public confidence.

[tidus792]

I agree with what shawdowandy has to say.
I would like to ask why are some users ordering in excess of 5 routers for themselves? Are these people hoarding the routers because it's free?
Isn't this contradictory to what FON is about? Sharing Internet access to as many people as possible?

[shadowandy]

Just a NATO.


qqspot! Don't let Cloudix brand you as a NATO! Give FON to the participant (other than urself) for the competition (http://forums.hardwarezone.com/showpost.php?p=22383422&postcount=301) you held! :X

i am also using the dlink 5dBi antenna.

seem that using the FON router it is slower than direct connect to the cable modem.

will do more testing this weekend....

currently using SBV5120i VOICE CABLE MODEM as maxonline...

i also have unuse SB5100i CABLE MODEM

is it better to split the digital voice modem and maxonline seperately....

[outer92]

wa!! fon movement at hougang :s12:

[lamaray]

steventay..

confirm slower than direct connect to modem mah.. i mean got 2 networks.. private and public wo. then minimum sharing rate is 512kbps..

then with all the lost packets and all.. confirm will slower one since this is not one of those mimo wireless router.. 1 antenna nia. haha

but the concept behind this whole thing is quite nice :)

according to skydio, they managed to sell 200+ routers over the IT show.. and i really think its very encouraging that the FON movement is going somewhere in sunny singapore! =D

[Rasputin99]

2 questions on Fon and the Fon router :

1) I noticed that the Fon router is rather compact and small, is it the smallest wireless G router around?

2) Is Fon going to come up with an alternative router that has lan ports or other features? From what I read somewhere it is going to be like that $35 SMC wireless router with Lan ports????

[steventay]

where to find this then minimum sharing rate is 512kbps?

i am currently using a loan FON router from richneo

[shadowandy]

If you really think i am not telling you the truth!!
Please kindly drop me a PM with your contact number.

Personally, I felt that most Singaporeans do not like the idea of sharing their internet connection. Most felt that the Wireless@SG movement is sufficient. However, those only cover selected areas, FON will be able to cover the rest of the uncovered areas. Furthermore, Wireless@SG is only FREE for 3 years.

[lamaray]

Ras i dont really think so.. after all, Fon is all about wi-fi community, if they provide ports i dun really see a point. like machiam contradicting their statement leh~ where did u see that report?

steven the minimum sharing rate thing can be found when u logon to fon.com... the default sharing rate is unlimited. haha~ maybe thats why u feel its slow...

[shadowandy]

You cannot share a near 'useless' Flexisurf FREE connection. You will never see the Fon SSID appearing unless it can 'call home' to Fon.

it not a matter of sharing now but i cant even use the router? anyway in which I can connect to it 1st ???
