Dear all,

May I check with everyone whom already subscribed to the eight broadband, how was your experience on the internet connection and speed (both Lan and WiFi) so far?

I'm living at Bukit Batok West area and intend to subscribe to the Flex 8 (12 months contract) which I understand that I've to provide my own router. May I seek an advice which router (preferably not the eero routers offered by eight) suits or compliment well with eight broadband under the Flex 8 subscription? For example, will "TP-Link HB710 WiFi 7 router
(Tri-band BE18000)" compliment with eight broadband?

Lastly, what's an ONT device? Is it a modem to connect between the Net Link Trust (NLT) fibre optics and the router?

Thank you for your advice in advance!

I did a iperf3 CLI "iperf3 -c [server-ip] -P 4" using acasis NT0201 10gbe USB-TB4 to RJ45 .

resulted in bitrate return 7.98 Gbits/sec for sender and 7.97 Gbits/sec for receiver

I believe those using similar setup should get almost the same result as me.


Read HWZ Forum Rules!
IMHO.
Can find out the what is the connection (e.g. USB4 or TB4 ) or which notebook ?
Maybe my USB4 is too old. :ROFLMAO:
