definitely can work with singtel 500mbps. but you need to update its firmware to the latest one.

since it was only released not long ago, the stocks you buy on shelf might still run the older firmware..

I just bought a DIR-890L at comex at $339. Tested the new firmware that i downloaded from www.dlink.com.sg and it works perfectly with my Singtel Fiber plan 500Mbps.

same here.

running on firmware FW:1.01SG from D-Link SG website.

Enabled VLAN -> Set Internet VLAN 10, IPTV VLAN 20.
Set Port 4 to IPTV. Plug Mio to Port 4. All set!

Smart Connect works well so far. Will continue testing.

My AC devices is only the MiTV and my iPhones. But will be comparing existing devices compared to my Asus N66U.

After Sales Support

Yo guys, so I'm writing out like what happened to my Dlink 890L.
So basically, I'm on Starhub Cable Internet lah, and then one fine day, my Internet suddenly disappeared. Upon inspection, I believe that my router is faulty, since direct connection to modem works.

Called Dlink Support, which was horrible. They spoke with thick accent and could not really understood me. Over the course of 2 days, keep asking me reset my router.

Finally got escalated to "Level 2" technician, who actually didn't know much, other than tell me to flash 1.07 firmware, then RMA.

Went to Dlink service centre at Jurong and 1 for 1 exchange. Now its working quite well and I'm pretty impressed with their support.

Hey

The router got 2 different radio wave. 5ghz and 2.4. 2.4 is slower lah. And more congested cos many people use. The 5ghz can go through 1 concrete wall I think signal in toilet very difficult cos walls on all four side unless you from the toilet have clear line of sight to router like you walk out of toilet can you see the router? 2.4 can pass through like 3 walls but slower.

If you house can fulfil the requirement ( line of sight from router to device) max 1 wall then good lah if not buy a few cheap routers use as access points cos this router not cheap plus its the best a single wireless router can do.

If you need more help can PM me I can send you more details!
