Anybody using Singtel Mesh?

[chrisisx]

Anyone using Askey Mesh from singtel? is there new firmware for this device? as sometimes internet sucks on this devices and need to reboot it frequently compare to my default Singtel Wifi.

My 2 cents.

Do note that ONT -> Switch is pointless. As a router function is needed before connection to a switch will work.

Your second scenario will work. Mesh unit 1 must have connect to port 1 of ONT.

ONT -> Lan Port @ DB
Lan Port @ Console -> Mesh Unit 1 ->Mesh Unit 2

Use smart switch lo

am using airties 4920 now after replacing the faulty askey (intermittent disconnection).

Current firmware version: 1.33.10.1.1368 --- is this the latest firmware available?

noticed high response ping (which was not observed on askey previously)

Askey wifi mesh

Hi. May i know how do i pair my askey wifi mesh. I received 2 of the mesh from singtel. The 1st mesh Power LED light turn green and the 2.5ghz turn green too after plugging in. And after connecting my lan cable directly from router to the 1st mesh the 5ghz light up green. It work perfectly fine.

As for the 2nd mesh after plugging in, the Power LED light remain solid RED. I therefore tried to pair it by pressing the 1st mesh WSP followed by 2nd mesh WSP but still it didn't pair up. Tried resetting the 2nd mesh for 30 seconds, but the 2nd mesh Power LED red light started to blink.

Any kind soul could offer me any help about this. Really appreciate!

pairing is automatic - default set are already paired. just plug and play. if not u use askey app to pair again also can. make sure both the mesh are within 5 meter range, else it wont work well.

by the way, singtel still give askey meh??

Hi. Thank you for the reply. It was an old one where i received 2 mesh for free from Singtel when recontracting my Fibre.

What i'm curious is that the 2nd mesh power led light remain red and it didn't automatically connect or turn green for the Power LED, 2.5ghz and 5ghz.

The 2nd mesh used to work perfectly fine and work well pairing with the 1st mesh. My sister told me that the 2nd mesh power led suddenly changed to solid red because my mum kept switching the plug and the mesh lost it's connection eventually. Lol.

Now i'm just wondering how to activate back the connection to get it pair to the 1st mesh. Online info about askey mesh isn't that much though.

Recently install ST Askey Mesh system, when trying to connect xiaomi IP cam via 2.4 GHz but to no success, weird thing is I can connect to Xiaomi home kit with motion and door sensor, any advise?

Try to move your IP Cam as far as possible so that it will not be able to access the 5GHz signal. Then hopefully it will connect to the 2.4GHz signal.

Or use a dedicated router for your IOT stuff, say a Xiaomi AX3600 or AX1800 router. SingTel Mesh is not a good Mesh solution for IOT as you can not separate 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band. If you have old SingTel issued router like AC Plus, you can use that as well.

share again in case anyone need the firmware for airties 4290

I managed to find the setting and disable the band steering, still no luck. So I guess is not because of the 2.4GHz, weird thing is my friend bring it to his home and managed to connect the cam.

In that case, check whether you can use different channel number on the 2.4GHz (different frequency band) to see if that helps.

Any updates from singtel for the firmware of both airties and askey?

How to connect Samsung Home Connect (mesh) to SingTel broadband connection?

Hi, recently signed up for STBB 1Gbps & purchased the Samsung Home Connect non-Pro ($10/mthly) add-on as well. Received the ONR (Huawei EchoLife HG8240T5) & SingTel Mesh Router (brandless/model-less) and subsequently received the pair of Samsung Home Connect non-Pro. May I know what the proper sequence of connection is, for connecting the Samsung Home Connect to my existing ONR and SMR? Is it:

Method A) FTP - ONR - SMR - SHC, or
Method B) FTP - ONR - SHC?

Cos I tried Method B, i.e. connecting the Samsung Home Connect to the ONR's second LAN port (& connecting my laptop to the WLAN formed by the SHC), and when doing a tracert on my laptop, I'm experiencing double-NAT, i.e.:

C:\Users\user1>tracert 8.8.8.8

Tracing route to dns.google [8.8.8.8]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

[B]  1     2 ms     2 ms     4 ms  OpenWrt.lan [192.168.2.1]
  2     3 ms     1 ms     4 ms  192.168.1.254[/B]

  9     8 ms     5 ms     5 ms  ^C

notice the first 2 hops are private IPs? Full disclosure, at this point, the SMR is still connected to my ONR's LAN port1, but I'm definitely using SHC's WLAN instead of SMR's WLAN.

For full illustration, previously when I'm connected to the SMR's WLAN, when I do a tracert, I see:

C:\Users\user1>tracert 8.8.8.8

Tracing route to dns.google [8.8.8.8]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  7     7 ms     5 ms     4 ms  ae4-0.tp-er03.singnet.com.sg [202.166.123.70]
^C

Notice only the first hop is private IP? That should indicate no double-NAT.

So, erm, how do I connect the SHC properly in this chain of equipment?

If I remove the mesh from the huawei router, how do I reset the router back to the default ssid?

When you say Huawei Router, do you mean the ONR? Take note ONR has no wireless function at all. If that is the case, there is no SSID once you remove the SingTel Mesh.

Yes ONR, what can I do in this case?

Called singtel, looks like I need back the old broadband router from my previous contract then can reset. I think discarded ard since I got the wifi mesh.

 

[saffronsatire]

Oh I found the old pace router!

Edit: Think the router too old ard can't use. The broadband light is green but internet light is red and I'm out of contract ard so can't do a complimentary exchange.
