Thanks! Never knew can ownself adjust

This speed is possible but not consistently.

You’re right. It’s the fastest I got. Range is 1.2-1.7Gbps. Seems fastest in the early morning so perhaps it’s just congestion of the bands from neighbors

I’m also getting 300-400 Mbs on NordVPN to the U.S. now. Up from about 60-70 Mbps when on my previous 1Gbps broadband. Not sure why the huge increase

Now there are many good promotion for Homehub+

You are on your own. If you do not want to take risks, avoid ST since it will not officially support ONR bridging.

There are even some rumors that Singtel will make it even more difficult to bridge the ONR.

You can use your Asus mesh with ONR, but you will usually need to set up your main AImesh node to AP mode in order to use Ethernet Backhaul and lose majority of the advanced FW features.

Thanks for the advice.

Yes, the ONT/ONR has always been my deciding consideration new and re-contract plans. I decided to re-contract with SH with the 10G plan with ONT and take this time to upgrade some of my existing networking gears.

To prepare my desktop for the 10G plan, there are either the USB4 to 10G adapter or PCI 10G adapter. I would favour the latter especially if it comes with Intel chipset. However, I read that heat might be an issue. I'm unfamiliar with the USB4 to 10G chipset and it's reliability. I'm guessing the heat may be more manageable since it will be connected externally and perhaps cheaper??

Just sharing this in case some may think just increase bandwidth Locally and no improvement in overseas speed.

Impressive. Must be a big pipe to Japan. Compared to my old 1Gbps plan, my NordVPN is up 4-6 times in speed. Something that I did not expect.

In future overseas places will sure upgrade then speed will improve again.

Was testing out my new M4 MacMini with 10G NIC this morning and recorded the following speeds on my VQ and Starhub networks. VQ connection goes from ONT to BE88 to BE98 while Starhub connection goes from ONT to BQ16.

This is quite impressive for 10Gbps, considering you could never hit the limit of 10Gbps.

The LAN Adaptor has a speed limit too. OWG stated 70% of your speed which is 7Gbps+ la.

I can now say that the TP-Link BE230 can reach 2Gbps WiFi 7 speed at 10cm. 5Ghz 160Mz BE 2,882mbps link speed

Agree that network speed is fast - even for overseas links.

The problem is in a computer system, there're a lot of bottlenecks and network speed is just one of them, fixing a fast connection to a 10x connection will not do much. The actual use cases need real applications and applications on clients and servers (1) might be slow, or, (2) the applications might throttle the speed to prevent DoS attack or abuse by users. A system is as fast as the slowest link. LOL!

Yes must depend on the application speed and the computer Specs and of course the server speed. Some servers are quite fast. Sometime it is the user's old computer that is slow. As time passed, new improvement rolled out, then it will be faster and better.

I think as long as no wall in between the router and the laptop should be ok to get 2000 Mbps within 3m la.

Not so easy la to get 2Gbps on dual band WiFi 7 router even with the best client as there is no 320Mhz channel on dual band router. Guru @xiaofan also struggled.

I understand that sometime can get and sometime can not get it.

Helping my sister with her new house, recommended Starhub 5gbps $30 plan for new sign ups. Installer came on Saturday, install quite fast, he zoomed in the ONR activation code and Superadmin password on his tablet, put on the floor, and go install the ONR. I was surprised, faster take photo hahaha.

5 room flat, Nokia ONR at DB beside main entrance, free Nokia Beacon 2 in the junior master bedroom. No dead spots, 300Mbps minimum, most places easily 500Mbps... Damn power sia lololol, even better than my parents house with 3 pack Deco X20.

Hi all,

a Singtel salesperson came to my place last night and I just signed up for Singtel's 10 Gbps broadband for $61.94/month (NTUC promotion) that comes with 2x Singtel WiFI 6 Mesh.

as Singtel WiFi 6 mesh is known to be a crap device. I'll exploring getting a better mesh system to boost the connection throughout my house.

Above shown is my current setup and I'm on M1 1Gbps. I will be using my existing AX-86U as my main wireless router. Connection is poor on master bedroom so I'm thinking of getting a mesh to boost the wifi signal in the room. My flat is an early 90s HDB so no LAN ports in any of the rooms, but salesperson said the technician will assist to pull network cable to one of the rooms for free.

Hence my question is if I decide to pull LAN port to Bedroom 2, which is currently the study room and where my desktop is currently situated, and install a mesh system on that room, will the signal still be strong enough to reach the corners of master bedroom considering it has go through both room and toilet walls ? or should I just pull the network cable to master bedroom and install a mesh system there ?
