StarHub MaxInfinity Fiber Optic - Experience

[d4rk5oul]

no strictly speaking even my house 4 room flat if the starhub router is at the entrance the signal won't reach my mums room at the back. because the walls and bomb shelter will block the signal and eventually enough walls will totally block the signal. same theory for floors.

you need to get a repeater or access point in between and thats what i am doing now.

You probably need an access point on each floor at least

thanks for the heads-up bro.. just wondering if getting a high-tier Asus router would actually get the job done? Anyone here have any experience with Asus routers?

wireless is hit and miss affair and of course the place where you gonna place it is equally important.

if you want to buy just 1 device to get things done, ensure you could place it at the most strategic area else you gonna get more than 1 to get the job done.

no point asking if its high-tier asus or not. Higher tier will improve (be better) but there is only "how much" it could achieve.

got $ buy big house, but sting on the router... erm?

Haha just asking Bro don't get the wrong idea. Just checking out if it's possible to use a device to get things done from feedbacks, and if anyone here has similar setup which I can refer to. If not I will probably get extenders to solve tackle my concerns.

Thanks anyway!

Get actual access points. I will skip extenders because it 1/2 bandwidth each time it hops. Provided you do not need the speed i will advise against it

- in terms of gaming

I am on Starhub's 1000Mbps Dual Broadband Plan. I can get around 700-800Mbps for my local download speed using speed test and around 430Mbps (53MB/Sec) for International download rate. I am using wired connecting directly to the Modem using Cat6 cable.

Your international download rate is referring to download from USA sites? How fast is your DL rate from Hong Kong? How is your Hong Kong Speed test?

HI. How you test your international speed? Peak or non peak hours?


Thanks

Yes, the 430Mbps speed test is from Palo Alto, California, US. Tested the HK server and I got 545Mbps download speed and 111Mbps upload speed.

The international speed for USA server is mostly around 430Mbps 95% of the time. I tested the speed different part of the day and i get around 415Mbps to 435Mbps most of the time.


For those who are curious.. My international speed for

Taipei, Taiwan is 586Mbps Download and 65.38Mbps Upload
Tokyo, Japan is 341 Mbps Download and 20.93Mbps Upload
London, UK is 35.90 Mbps Download and 12.62 Mbps Upload

Again, the speed is depending on their server and other factors..

What do you mean by that ? I have tested downloading files from Linux Mint 17.1 "Rebecca" - Cinnamon (64-bit) - Linux Mint (They have different servers).

I am gettting (Using Download Manager)

39Mb/Sec-42Mb/Sec from China Server,
40Mb/Sec-50Mb/Sec from Korea Server,
37Mb/Sec-40Mb/Sec from Taiwan Server,
Around 32Mb/sec-35Mb/Sec from USA Server, It can go up to 50Mb/Sec-60Mb/Sec depending on the timing you download from their server.

Yo bro,

Can advise how to connect PC direct to Modem?
Do we need RJ45 cable?
Thanks!

1. download
2. local(SG) file transfer from point-to-point

I got one guy called Ayub (From Hardwarezone) to lay out the cable for me from my living room to my room by drilling a small hole throught the wall and laying out the wire. You will need either Cat5e Cables or Cat6 Cables to connect directly to the RJ45 Lan point to the router/modem.
