Hi,

Not sure if you guys face this issue using Wireless@SGx (not Wireless@SG), desiring auto-login functionality on your laptop/mobile device. [Note: I did not install any Wireless@SGx programs, but setup my connection manually]

But when my laptop connects to the Wireless@SGx network in the NLB, it does not always establish an internet connection (maybe something to do with the routing? Or maybe the staff had just turned on the routers? Or maybe cos I'm using a Singtel Mobile account on the M1 provided connection?).
The bottom line is: I'm connected to the Wireless@SGx network but cannot access the internet...

Anyhows, here's my fix (+ a workaround if the fix did not work)

save this URL as a bookmark : http://www.noc-cn3000.com:8080/transport.asp

Loading this page magically seems to set things right (maybe someone more technically inclined can explain why).


The "workaround" is annoying... as it basically involves moving to the Wireless@SG network, logining then once connected to the internet properly, moving back to the Wireless@SGx network (thereby defeating the purpose of setting up the Wireless@SGx connection in the first place!)

Anyhows, hope this helps some others who might face similar issues.



Mods: I did a quick search on the forums, but did not see this pop up, so remove/move as you deem fit.

IDA's reply to Wireless@SGx connection on mac

I complained to IDA about the not having a configuration for laptops running Mac OS X and Win 8.0/8.1. The reply I got was unsatisfying.

Thank you for your interest in Wireless@SG.

At the moment, the manual guides and Wireless@SG Connect apps are unable to support Mac OS X Yosemite or Windows 8.0/8.1 yet. We have just awarded our tender to develop the new version of the Wireless@SG Connect app; catered for newer OSes. We will be rolling it out in phases.

We will provide an update through our web site at Seamless And Secure Access Guides - Infocomm Landscape - Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore once the new versions are available.

For now, you may wish to manually connect using the login portal via Wireless@SG.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter.



Does anyone have any method of how I can configure Wireless@SGx on Mac? I have searched online and there is no articles about it.

The reason why is simple. All those mentioned OS dropped WPA-Enterprise support, which is used by Wireless@SGx.

If we support WPA2-Enterprise, all current existing network equipment needs to be updated and default/existing day to day ops equipment for monitoring will require to be overhauled altogether... So yea. :s13::s13:

Oh, as for Yosemite it should be still supported. Just something about the keychains that needs to be setup.
