[devil1158]

Hi, just want to check if anyone has any issues, or is using any ASUS routers on the SIMBA 2.5G plan?

What asus router you using

long-time lurker now posting cos apparently ONR versus ONT very important to consider.

How is the 2.5Gbps Simba?

I checked and it's now available for my block, and the Facebook algorithm has been showing me the advertisement for the $20/month before GST, can pay annually (?) 12-month contract.

I am using a pair of ASUS ET12 that has 2.5 WAN and 2.5 LAN

Hi,
a new home owner here in Tampines. I find this Simba, and can people give input how the performance is? Is 2.5gb enough for a family of 4? 1 PC and the rest most likely just mobile phone.

Thanks

Even 500Mbps is plenty for most people. What really matters is how well peered your ISP is, and the upstream IP transit quality.

That's the unknown part about Simba since they are still new and there isn't much feedback in those areas.

hi fellow neighbour

in terms of Pricing, no doubt it's the cheapest in the market

in terms of Support, there's no Support hotline. so if Internet goes down, you're on your own.
you can see their Facebook Page and see the list of good/bad comments...

in terms of Speed/Performance, you might want to see the previous comments based on this thread. have fun!

Hi, I'm currently using simba but I can only connect one wireless device. The other devices do not have any network connection. Any idea why is this happening? TIA!

your ONT and router connected properly? ONT should connect to your router's WAN port, not LAN port.

I'm using a Askey 5100 router which I had gotten a few years back which doesn't have the things that you mentioned haha. Is it because it's outdated?

If so, can you kindly recommend a router? Thank you!

ermmmm.... after paying for the sign up.... for me is like till now pass 3 or 4 mths... how do i pay the monthly? they will deduct my credit card as per sign up?

Simba, can't set/enable VPN server in our router right? coz the IP is shared....
I try to enable my VPN Server from my TPLink BE19000, I can't seem to connect from outside.....

Could I check, if I using TAPO TP Link cctv camera, is Simba able to support?

I will be using Asus router and recording it in my SD card on the camera

Recommended is TX-AX6000 from Asus for this plan which has 2.5g wan port?

If my ONT is hiding inside cabinet with cat 7 cables routed to each room, what is the best arrangement and device to buy?

Then the switch to the patch panel, output at desired rooms with APs of your choice

Simba put out 10G interest check but my area in the east still TBC

I put in interest check for 2.5G back then and my area still kosong
Can anyone paint a rough map of where Simba has extended to? Last i checked its roughly tampines/pasir ris and punggol, simei included of course.
Tanah merah & Bedok gosong. Dont even need to talk about Aljunied. Or at least the postal codes I can find and try
