SingNet Fiber Broadband Installed.....

[dakboyan]

Hi,

Got a question that i hope folks here could answer...my 200 mbps fibre was just installed yesterday and everything went handy dandy or so it seems. I remembered distinctly the installer telling me that port 1 of the 2 wire is gigabit and rest only fast ethernet, but when i connect my lappie to port 1...the connection speed only shows 100 mbs (see pic). Is this correct or should it show 1 gb or something?

I have also been trying to set up tversity media player from my PC, and so far my PS3 and Xbox can't seem to connect to it. I did not have any problems before using my old starhub connection running on dlink dir-655. Can please help?

Thanks!!

You should be able to get 1000mbps.
1) Check if your laptop's Ethernet port support gigabit speeds.
(I think this should be the most probable cause)

2) Also check that you are using Cat5e and above ethernet cable.

Just an update.

Since 27th Dec 2010 when Fibre was installed, never turned off my connection.

28th Jan 2011, finally had to reboot it, the typical red light on the service LED was showing. Started from 1:15am and lasted till 1:30am.

After rebooting, took some time b4 i see green light on service button again.

Well, everything seems back to normal, just fyi.

Most probable answer was that Singnet was remotely upgrading your firmware.

My firmware was all along 9.3.1.25, just checked, still the same.

Anyway, still heaps better then the former bband so no complaints.

I received a call from SingTel on Thursday. They want to send a field tech to upgrade the 2Wire firmware. Told them it's not necessary as i am not using their pillow cos it sucks
Nevertheless, the appointment is on Monday. Anyone received a similar call?

LOL

For me the firmware upgrade went through successfully through my 3200 switch, so it's a non issue (.25 atm)

You must have confused the 5h1t out of them when the upgrade attempts kept failing haha

Then again, what is your config like again? perhaps something blocked the upgrade or vlan 40 was not being sent to the 2Wire for some reason.

Can I have your pillow pls?

I did configure VLAN40 on the smart switch. Then again, maybe it isn't working, which explains why they are calling me. Yeah, i thought so too. Poor fella has to come down cos user did not stick to provider-issued pillow

1) Selects group of users for firmware upgrade
2) Presses GO
3) Goes for coffee
4) Comes back with his cuppa and looks at progress
5) Sees one failed user
6)

Good effort. Keep it up

They shld just do QinQ and force many smart switch user out of the game, lol.

Errm, you know, you can use 3rd party SIP phones without vlan 30 thereby doing away with the pillow?

softphone also working. I'm using iSip from my iphone and can call from any wifi (dunno why my 3G cannot hear anything, maybe is software problem)

Wah liewz... then we have to stack 2 switches to peel the onion lol

ps: DGS3200 got QinQ i think, but gotta check.

Guys I've got a question. I'm using the 200mbits. I have a desktop running on win 7 with a gigabit LAN card. I discovered that when I do a speed test on it I can never achieve more then 130Mbits and my upload is cap at 70. Whereas when I did a speed on my MacBook pro 13" I achieved 190-200Mbits and my upload can hit 90+. So I'm wondering what can be the problem of my desktop? Hdd or LAN card? Or is there any settings that i need to do to remove that bottleneck?

I encountered the same problem
replaced my onboard realtek gigabit LAN to Intel PCIe Gigabit NIC.

is the realtek NIC problem ?
i am also using realtek.. and my 200mbit coming next mth...

but i do not have problem transfering in my LAN using the realtek NIC over gigabit..

Then i'll have to invest $ in the SIP. I've already spent quite some $ on a smart switch and third party router. All thanks to Red
