Why are you using the DVG when you have a new router?
Ask for direct ONT and use the new router.

My laptop in my room so I thought using Ethernet cable, the speed will be faster?

But the wireless connection is also unstable, when i surf the net on my handphone and play game, it keeps disconnecting and connecting.

Is it the router configuration?

LAN cable should be faster and more stable but your case is going thru homeplugs, so I don't know (I didn't have pleasant experiences with homeplugs).
What I'm wondering is whether you were given a new D-Link 865L or 868L router since you re-contracted. The 868L should have much better wifi than the DVG.

Thanks, the problem solved on its own :s13: I think it should be 868L, just wondering if the dual band is stable.

That's why I'm reluctant to recontract / upgrade, I always need to redo the configuration and often times I forgot what I did in the first place. :(

They told me my ont now can change to any router that I want so meaning I can use other router instead of the given 868L?

Hi guys, not sure if anyone will have an answer to my question or has encountered a similar issue like mine.

Basically I switched from M1 to Starhub fiber just months back. After the contract was signed, I was then informed about the Openet overcapacity issue (about 2 weeks after) and it'll only be many months later before my ONT port for starhub gets opened.

Couldn't wait at that time, so I took up Starhub MOL 100Mbps instead. So a contract was redrafted to a MOL version.

Question: Is there any chance I could switch to fiber without contract early termination penalty? :o

Side note: Are the traffic speeds on SH Maxinfinity to chinese sites as bad as those of M1 fibre's or that's impossible with any of the budget fiber networks around?

How about torrent? :o

TIA

Really not sure whether to switch to Starhub or not.
Currently using Starhub TV and wish to enjoy hubclub also.
But afraid cause of the outages you guys experience.
Any advice?

anyone on SH have problem with toggle.sg? I cannot watch the paid content :(

I tried the paid content, this is what I got "You are accessing Toggle from Overseas. Please note that only videos with the SGLink Tag can be displayed. Click here for more info."

Mine is a local IP, don't know why it says it's overseas. Are you also getting the same messages?
