Hey thanks for the reply. Mine is definitely a Singtel ONT. Say so on the box. I had a free 2-month SingtelTV trial last year and the technician was able to set up the Singtel TV box in the living room without any problem. I think it was ONT -> Asus router -> cat5e -> switch -> TV box, but I can't be sure now.
The problem now is that I want to watch TV in the bedroom too but I think my Asus router only allows Lan port 4 to be configured for Singtel IPTV.
Your suggestion gave me an idea. Anyone can advise if this will work?
ONT/ONR(??) port 2 -> cat5e -> bedroom switch -> TV box & other devices
ONT/ONR(??) port 1 -> Asus router (AP mode if ONR) port 4 -> cat5e -> living room switch -> TV box & other devices
Asus router port 1 -> cat5e -> study switch -> other devices
On a separate note, how much did you pay for the 2nd TV box and any additional subscription costs?
If u are going to use 2 STB, I guess that will change your ONT to an ONR. As long as u have cat6 cable running in the house to where u want to place the STB, no need to worry.
Additional STB is at $5.90 per month.
