i tot of getting a lappy,heard window 7 release liao,anyone here use it before?!

a number of us is reviewing it now and till now the result has been promising

a word of advice dun get a lappy now, wait till new lappy which is deisgned to work with win 7

cos if you do that the price of the current hardware lappy price will drop drastically and most of the company do provide OS upgrade by purchasing win 7 for abt USD30 nia so it's more worthwhile

if u are getting a windows pc/laptop, go for windows 7. if you've used vista before, 7 will run a lot smoother.

there's a few ways to do it assuming u are not using the mio modem/router from singtel.

if you want a setup a wireless environment, buy a wireless router and then plug the adsl modem to wireless router. after which all your pc/laptops can connect wireless-ly to access the internet, provided they are in range.

or you can get a wireless router with the adsl modem built in. this way, you don't need your adsl modem anymore.

get a N router if you want to have better coverage. my preference is linksys or dlink.

ask u ar , If N router is it backward compatible with wireless b/g devices ? Say my psp is wireless b and Iphone is wireless G

Alamak,

The wireless router with the adsl modem built in seems a good idea!

But is the N router for better coverage necessary if my unit is a 3rm flat?

As in the wireless coverage for bedrm and living rm?

tks

Actually I think wireless G is more then enough .... N is suppose to be faster and longer distant ....

my place (4room) using wireless G nia . so far so good. All my device using the same network

1 desktop

2 note book ( my tentant each got 1 )

1 netbook (my media center )

1 psp

1 Iphone

adsl modem built in, models will be quite limited so u need to have a look around.

abt the coverage, hard to say. depends a lot on where you intend to place your wireless router. there is a chance a wireless G is able to cover the whole unit, that's the case for my parent's place. best if you can test it out.

yah, backward compatible. by default the wireless n router should work in a/b/g/n mode unless you specifically set it to n-only mode.

problem for wireless b is that u cannot use wpa encryption in your N or G router, only wep is supported which is easily crackable.

Actually I use singtel default wireless modem . Good enough. Just need to place it at the center of yr place can le . I place it in the living room . quite center . So all my room - even kitchen will have signal

Actually we dun need until wireless N speed right ? Cos unless we are doing internal data transfer . If not I think we can never reach N router speed for internet connection . cos our internet speed is limit by the singetl/starhub bandwidth

Kcsek, Rondy: I love the design but like u mentioned, it is ex. A forummer here told me a shop have and I just found out fm the shop the price is $890

yah.. G is good enough. unless cannot cover the area u intend to cover or u intend to do a lot of internal transfer, then no need to go N. save quite a bit of $$ also if staying with G.

Actually if I'm not wrong , we still got G+ before N .... but for my case - can use can le .... So i still use back my old singtel modem , unless it spoil then i will consider an upgrade
