not landed. but big and many walls...

 

[Gribber]

not landed. but big and many walls...

how big is big? 10 rooms?

when i switched to ASUS RT56U, i place my router at the far corner of my house no issues getting full connectivity at the other corner of it.

On top of that, i have no issues connecting from the bus stop across my block.

my other routers i will have to position closer to the central location of my flat.

btw, last i recall you can't use the WAN port of the DVG-5402SP. Can't test it now as i don't have the unit with me.

Wow?

Sorry do not know the ASUS RT66 coverage. Will get it and try it.

Right now my DIR-825 can only cover 1/3 of my area.

yes seems like it. the DVG-5402SP is preset with the starhub vlan config... thats why can't connect to the WAN port if i remember correctly.

DIR-655, 825, 855 - all of which i have experience with.

have to be placed in the middle of my flat. no choice + i don't get full connectivity for connections at the corner.

yeap. no doubt you can probably use it as a "switch-alike" though.

Yeah my DIR-825 is at the corner... no choice hence i need to put wireless.

yeah hence i think can't be done..

hi guys, i would like to find out if it is worth it to get Maxinfinity Platinum? I am currently using MaxOnline Premium, am looking for a worthy upgrade. =)

 

[chaz]

if you are scared, you can try to tell them you do not need their huawei or Dlink and you want to use your own router .

i got mine going to be done this Thursday wee hours of the morning

Sweet,, didn't know that. Will call them up.

i do not use the home voice service

 

[chaz]

i do not use the home voice service

Same,, I just called them up and they said they needed to talk to the tech engineers first and will call me back. Will be good to finally use my own router, a Time Capsule

 

[SExiao]

seems that Starhub is allowing for the use of my own router since i have dropped their voice service .

You mean we can use our own router now??? We can get the much talk about Asus N66U??

Currently using SH issued Huawei one.... wireless signal think not so good... .....

Can anyone confirm?? Dont like to call the SH CSO... cause depend on the day you call and the fella you talk to, always get different answer one..... already kena once last time when I get my Blackberry plan... kao...

Anycase, my Home voice I did not use for the Fibre modem... that time told me need to change number, so I stick back to the old Motorolla modem.......

yes can use your own router if you opt out of digital voice.

Currently I'm on DV. Is there any special requirements I have to tell them to than there is no VLAN ID after they remove my DV option?

I just got a call back from SH's tech guys. Just told them I don't use DV and I want to use my own router. They asked me what router I used and that's it. They said they will get the process rolling and remove the DV from my account. They said it will take a couple of days. Nice and easy.

 

[edwin21]

guess it still depends on the cso u get when calling in. just now i call, the still emphasis on the use of their router. the cso said can put up the request for direct ont but subjected to approval of their superior
