Hi butties,

:(


1) Singtel MIO Box can support using 2 notebooks via wireless?

2) How do I set up the wireless connection for my 2nd new notebook? (The setup was orginally done by the tech which I wasnt around)

Yes. Supports up to 8 users surfing the internet without issues.
Not inclusive of bittorrenting.

Got the service report from the tech there should have write a 2WIREXXX this is the name of your network, below is the WEP if never changed before is like that......... if dun have the SSID is 2WIRE last three digit of serial nymber and the rows of number is the wep on the side of the modem the sticker there hope this helps........

And I suggest if you are still using the WEP key change it to WPA.

Having WEP is as good as not having it. It's just for legacy support.

Of course it can. My 8Mbps Mio box so far supported all these at one go:

1) my desktop
2) brother's Acer laptop
3) Dad's Lenovo Ideapad S10 netbook
4) Brother-in-law Compaq laptop
5) my iPod Touch

... while my mother is using the Mio Voice to make calls to her mahjong khakis. While all the lights in the Mio Box are blinking furiously (all in use), it performs admirably til this day.

My Singtel Mio Box is almost 20 months old, and has not suffered any technical glitch that so many bros here encountered. Maybe I am lucky... :D

Dumb question. Can the MIO wireless modem work along side with my wireless router (AirPort Extreme btw)?

haha.. I also just posted a similar question somewhere. I wish to link the MIO wireles modem with my Linksys router. :D

Anyway to disable the wireless part of the MIO router and use the ethernet to hook up to the AirPort Extreme base station?
