I only have 1 ax6000 in the middle of the 5rm. All corners got wifi even toilet with door closed. Haha.

same, mine not even in the middle, at the far end of living room. Furthest end of kitchen and both toilet can still hit 1Gbps. Sometimes less is more, too many routers will cause interference.

No need fiber. Cat 6a or higher cable is enough.

Thinking of using fibre due to lower heat and lesser power consumption

I do not remember any such reports to use the coaxial cable as the aid to pull Ethernet cable or Fibre cable through.

Unfortunately there are no such cable pull masters proving affordable services in Singapore. There are many such Chinese cable pull master (穿线大师，穿线大神) in mainland China from YouTube or DouYin.

You may have to go through trunking, either DIY or ask contractor to help.

I was planning to try to carry out DIY work within the living room (CAT 6 cable and Fibre) in Dec 2024 but I have not done it...

hi seniors,

seeking advice here, currently on the old 1gbps plan, currently paying about $40/mth. I have received the 10gbps $29.90 without router offer, so i will still have to buy a compatible router to use the newer network? or should i opt for the router option at $34.90? currently house router is asus-tuf ax3000.

Good enough if ur aim is to reduce the costs. If u want to max the 10gbps, then need to change the router.

should try to use moca adaptors or ai mesh nowadays

Yes, Moca is one good way and up to 2.5Gbps now.

As for mesh with wireless backhaul, yes, it can be a good option as well.

On the other hand, , pulling a Ethernet Cable (and Fibre Cable as an option) is much better if you do not mind paying for the contractor, or if you have the skills to DIY.

Personally I do not need to use a mesh or Moca as the coverage of single wireless AP (either Asus TUF-BE6500 or TP-Link Archer BE805) is good enough for me. BTW, I do use another AP (Asus RT-AX86U) to serve legacy 2.4GHz clients.

AirSnitch Attack Exposes Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities

• A new attack method called AirSnitch can bypass current Wi-Fi encryption, allowing attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and view all traffic, even on HTTPS secured sites.

• While home Wi-Fi networks are relatively safe if a strong password is used, public Wi-Fi hotspots pose a significant risk due to their open accessibility.

• To protect yourself, it is recommended to use a strong password for your home router, share it only with trusted individuals, and always use a VPN when connecting to public Wi-Fi.

Recontracted the 6Gbps plan, waiting for my Fans, DAC cable & 5Gbps network card to arrive.
Wifi is able to get 1400mbps
