Hi, I went ahead and gone to SH shop to sign up for their HomeHub+ Ultraspeed ONT package
https://www.starhub.com/personal/st...ducts/wifi-7--_asian_-homehub-ultraspeed.html since I needed Sports n Premier League soccer. Total deal is $110 per month for 2 years, including 2 years Netflix Premium ($25.98) and VIU package. Cheaper by $96 as I'm on cross carriage for the Premier League and non-contract with ST for my 1G plan with MioTV and Netflix subscription. Installation has been confirmed to be 2 weeks later.
Currently I only have 1x Asus GT-AX6000 as my primary AP with Singtel ONR. I went to check again and saw that I have 2.5G ethernet on my 2 desktop pc in the room. They are connected via a Dlink DGS-1008A gigabit switch and Cat5e. Dlink switch is also connected via another Cat 5e cable from living room (15 years HDB BTO).
After installation completed for SH 10G with EB810v router, can I remove Dlink and just use GT-AX6000 as a switch for those 2 pc so as to maximise the 2.5G bandwidth? AX6000 has only 2x 2.5G port, so 1 incoming Cat5e will go to one of this port, and the 2nd 2.5G port for 1 pc. How about connection to 2nd pc? Which port to use for 2.5G? Is it from 1 of the 1G lan port on AX6000 and enable Load Balance Mode in Dual Wan function? Both pc will then get similar 2.5G speedtest result if they are being used at same time?
In the tech spec for this AX6000, there is also a Wan aggregation that can give up to 3.5G bandwidth which I read is not supported in Singapore?
Is my current Cat 5e cables ok to run for my example above?
Thanks.
Hi, unfortunately, I cannot do that as both pc are in study room. The EB810 will be in the TV console area, next to the Fibre terminal. My house don have this DB box or lan port in the rooms.
1. Your original setup:
Singtel ONR in Liviring Room -> Asus GT-AX6000 (as main AP) in Living Room TV Console Area
Singtel ONR in Living Room --> Ethernert cable --> D-Link Switch in Study room --> two PCs in study room
2. I think you use the following configuration
Starhub XGS-PON ONT --> TP-Link EB810v (10G WAN port) as main router in Living Room TV Console Area
EB810V 2.5G LAN port --> Ethernet cable --> Asus GT-AX6000 in AP mode (2.5G WAN port, up to 2.5Gbps)
Asus GT-AX6000 2.5G LAN port --> first PC (up to 2.5Gbps)
Asus FT-AX6000 1G LAN port --> second PC (up to 1Gbps)
The two PCs will share 2.5G bandwdith, due to the limitations of GT-AX6000 2.5G WAN port. First PC will be up to 2.5Gbps, second PC will be up to 1Gbps, two PC combined will be up to 2.5Gbps.
3. If you want both the PCs to get full 2.5G switch, then you have to get a 10G/2.5G switch.
Starhub XGS-PON ONT --> TP-Link EB810v (10G WAN port) as main router in Living Room TV Console Area
EB810V 10G LAN port --> Ethernet cable --> 2.5G/10G switch in Study room (first 10G port)
Switch 10G port 2 --> future wired device
Switch 2.5G port 1 --> Asus GT-AX6000 in AP mode (2.5G WAN port, up to 2.5Gbps)
Switch 2.5G port 2 --> first PC (up to 2.5Gbps)
Switch 2.5G port 3 -> second PC (up to 2.5Gbps)
The two PCs will be able to have its own dedicated 2.5Gbps bandwidth in this case (total 5Gbps)
One option for the switch: Hasivo S600W-4GT-2XGT-SE, RMB 499 listed, quad 2.5G ports, two 10G RJ45 ports, at about RMB 499 plus shipment and GST from Taobao.
Hasivo S600W-4GT-2XGT-SE is probably the cheapest you can find. You should look at the price at Taobao 海思视讯 shop and it is only at RMB 699 listed price --> now about RMB 499 in Feb 2025.
Hasivo S600W-4GT-2SX-SE, RMB 219 listed, quad 2.5G ports, two 10G SFP+ ports
Hasivo S600W-4GT-1SX-1XGT-SE, RMB 399 listed, quad 2.5G ports, one 10G RJ45 port and one 10G SFP+ port
Hasivo S600W-4GT-2XGT-SE, RMB 499 listed, quad 2.5G ports, two 10G RJ45 ports
