Sorry just to ask, what is the effective range of the modem in a local hdb setting? I realise i place the router in the living directly infront of the alley that connects to the doors. I can get full wifi signal for my devices but once i enter my room. all wifi totally lost man. I am intrigued by it. Tried to put it higher. I dont know why there is no signal in the 2nd room... the Last room still okay coz the antenna are directly aiming inside.

any idea what i suppose to do

There is no rule for this, though generally we know that it's structurally dependent. Try placing your router higher up if possible, if not, play around with your furniture. .

yea the HDB walls are "thick"

btw for hdbs, your router antennas should be all upright (not slanted) since we are only storey flat (the signal is like a 360° donut)

For my own understanding, after reading all the posts here, can I summarise that ASUS RT-AC3200 is able to work with Singtel TV, as long as I change the Port 4 to "Singtel-others" & the updated firmware?

If I need to do configuration, do I need to access ASUS website or 192.162.1.154 (Singtel) website?

I am on the 1Gbps Home Bundle Plan.

Thanks.

Yes. You need to set the iptv profile to Singtel others. From there, connect your set top box to port 4 and port 4 will only work with singtel TV, not offering you any Internet access apart from singtel TV.

You will need to enter the Asus Web UI. which is 192.168.1.1, no longer 192.192.168. 1.254

Cool, between all those AC3200 routers, does it mean that ASUS one come up on top?

Another thing will be wifi, I had problems previously on Aztech router provided by singtel on 500mbps. The router is at my room, and when i go to the master bed room, which is 1 room apart, the connection is slow and sometimes cant even connected to the wifi. How does ASUS AC3200 fare on wifi?

So far, Asus is one of the better brands out there. They put in a lot of R&D. If you are looking at AC3200 routers, u may want to check the link below because it features the top 10 routers of the year:
