StarHub MaxInfinity Fiber Optic - Experience

Well, thanks for the advice.

I did try to set the ip of Belkin to 10.0.13.x but then this Belkin still cannot detect the internet connection. Somehow it cannot really use the connection from this Huawei.

It should be simple but somehow for this Belkin, it is not . If anyone has this router, let me know if you have tried the config suggested by MarineX

changing it is okay if u have an idea on what u r doing... but it seems like u r not comfortable with it.

is there a reason why do u need such setup?

What subnet mask did you use first?
IN the first place, you should not have change the default Huawei RG IP

Your answer to liangtam's question is important. Using default mask 255.0.0.0, then whether 10.0.12.x or 10.0.13.x or 10.0.20.x, all are in the same subnet. You should use 255.255.255.0 mask.

Just upgraded to SH Maxinfinity 100Mbps.Here is my speedtest(Lan connection) for reference.

5ms latency looks great. On SH 100Mbps as well and LAN Wire via DLink router to PC, Ive consistently received 20ms at best. May I know if your typical latency is consistently under 10ms? Inputs from others is appreciated as well!

20ms at best. change to 20ms at worst lol.

Depends on the speedtest server
If u choose New Media something, most of the time is 5ms for direct connection

yep exactly. For Singtel users to Singtel speedtest server , it's around 3ms only
M1 to Singtel speedtest 90ms!

They must not be having a very friendly peering policy.

 

[banana55]

Yep, I base 20ms at best against News Media Express server.





The worst result comes with Viewqwest server at 200-210ms consistent.



Note this is with wired lan connected at 1Gbps rate to Dlink DVG-N5402SP router. Maxinfinity 100Mbps plan. Lan cable is the original supplied length, and router hosts only single PC connection with no other activity in the background.

Something's not right here. Would any SH Fibre users care to post their latency with Viewqwest servers to compare 'bad' to 'bad'?

Yes, I use the default one. I can try to use that subnet mask suggested.

So you suggested to change the one that used in Huawei to 255.255.255.0 while for the one used for clients that connect to Belkin to 255.0.0.0 ?

Let me try it later to see if it will work.

 

[daniely2005]

The reason is very simple, I don't want to use the default one.

No, change all to 255.255.255.0 mask.

 

[daniely2005]

No, change all to 255.255.255.0 mask.

Well, thanks again for the suggestion.

After did some testing, found out that the Belkin has some issues and I have to do factory default before configure it again. Now it is working fine

 

[daniely2005]

This is the speed using wired connection :

the reply to you is simple as well: make sure you know what you are doing before trying something different then.

 

[daniely2005]

this is wireless connection

You're welcome, glad to know it worked now ...

Hi Guys, I just installed my Maxinfinity 50Mbps today and I'm having trouble getting my desktop computer connection up to speed. I believe its due to the distance between the RG and the desktop's wireless-n usb adaptor, because I could get >30mbps locating a laptop near the RG.



ONT: HG863 >> RG: HG256s >> TP-Link TL-WN722N (150mbps)

Besides pulling a Ethernet cable, is there other ways to improve my desktop's internet connection ? I though of using Homeplugs but read it here that its not reliable.

reliable or not... is often people who bought wrong plugs and or electrical wiring but is usually the former.

seems to me that only homeplugs is the only solution left for you.

setting up APs required ethernet cable as well unless u are doin WDS...

but if plugs are not-reliable, wireless is worst.
