2WIRE can only connect to MIO TV via RJ45 cable long enough ones, or can purchase cordless home connect from singtel, call up 1610 if interested to purchase the cordless home connect.

~~ i dun see why i need a d-link since my current 2-wire (router) is already a got wireless router function reh? :(
if pulling a long long lan cable from room to living ...will look ugly reh :(

~~ oh beside cordless home connect ? any other better way or not :( this cordless home connect cost about $200++ and another way is i rent from singtel which cost me $5 per mth ~~ if like that i think i cancel this mio tv riao since is free :P

just think got other way or not :(

[Yvonne]

~~ just wonder if i decide to place the 2wire modem on my room and get the singtel ppls to pull a long lan cable to my living ~~ Will they do that for me ? will they use casing to cover the lan wire which hanging on the wall ? :(

There's a few ways to do this:

1. Get a long network cable to patch from 2wire to mio tv box directly
2. Get the Power over ethernet solution. Call singnet to ask. They know. 1 PoE adaptor around $50
3. Get another wireless router. Configure it to bridge it from 2wire. Place new wireless router next to mio box and patch directly.

Singtel do not offer services to pull the cables and place it nicely in the trunking. In fact, they engage 3rd party to install the mio tv box, etc. If you are interested I can offer similar services or solutions that suits your needs.

leave your 2wire modem with your mio tv, buy a USB wireless adaptor and connect wirelessly to your 2wire modem.

Last time when I use cable me use the ladder and put masking tape and self adhesive hooks at the top of the wall and hook the cable to it :P :P :(

~~ thank for your 3 solution :P well , I just go view on my new house, I believe if got to do trunking ~ it will affect my wall painting liao :(

~ at first I really thought of using a long lan cable to connect directly from my study room to the living rm onto the mio tv box but i go see see like very ugly leh :(

my question to you ...

1) My hse got a few telephone port > study rm , living rm and bed rm all got a telephone point ~ Possibe for me to shift the 2 wire modem anytime anywhere ? OR just fix at 1 location and cannot be change anymore ?

- if really perm. and cannot change anymore, i will think of placing my 2wire modem at living room and using my comp to connect to wireless BUT but , i still perfer to connect using LAN so i might end up , pull a long lan cable from living room to study room so make no different reh :(

Can you tell me more on your way no.2 :P

~~ ya i think this is the cheaper way riao :( but i still believe in LAN compare to wireless :P sometime lose signal and get dc very sian :(

2 is use your existing power cable for extension of network.
if for some reasons u think wiring is not suitable although it only takes up small space, then u can choose this because its the next best stable* solution.

Last time when I use cable me use the ladder and put masking tape and self adhesive hooks at the top of the wall and hook the cable to it :P :P :(

~~ If i use your method i won't be so headache riao :(

They do provide Lan Cable up to a certain limit and also trunking...... FOC to a certain limit call and ask......

~~ Yes, there is a limit NOT BEYOND 20 meters. For those who dunno , pls take note.
As for who will install the trunk i really not sure , relocation fees cost around $80++ and i do not know does it include the trunking or not :(

Anyone here ever try before or see before singtel techical install trunking and cover the lan cable which hooking on the wall ? pls let me know more abt this service :P
