froggy 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 You need to choose a centralized location to be your network hub in order to setup LAN network at home. For my case, I choose my study room to be the network hub, where my router will be. I asked my electrician to wire up CAT 6 network cable in all 3 of my bed rooms and living area, which will link up with 4 network points in the study room. So as long as I connected all 4 network points in study room with router, I can access to internet through wired connection from 3 bed rooms and living area. However, wired connection DOES NOT mean lag free internet access. Again, it has to depend on the condition of your internet connection (i.e. your ISP). Wired connection will only minimize network slowdown due to wireless connection, which is usually affected by the wireless signal receiption. As for opennet, it is just another way to connect to internet. Starhub broadband is connected via SCV point, while Singnet is connected via telephone line. Opennet only setups the optical network and it is not an ISP. it will be up to Singnet and Starhub to decide whether and when to use the optical network to provide internet connection. Hope my explanation will not confuse you wow still a bit chim for me to understand. But will show this to hubby - hope it makes better sense to him.

ne0mesis 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 I will try the super layman term to help you better understand the concept. madcat, correct me if i'm wrong ya... You need to choose a centralized location to be your network hub in order to setup LAN network at home. For my case, I choose my study room to be the network hub, where my router will be. I asked my electrician to wire up CAT 6 network cable in all 3 of my bed rooms and living area, which will link up with 4 network points in the study room. So as long as I connected all 4 network points in study room with router, I can access to internet through wired connection from 3 bed rooms and living area. i.e 1 centralised location with the router acts as the distribution centre, supplying internet access to the rest of the rooms via cable and not wirelessly However, wired connection DOES NOT mean lag free internet access. Again, it has to depend on the condition of your internet connection (i.e. your ISP). Wired connection will only minimize network slowdown due to wireless connection, which is usually affected by the wireless signal receiption. wired or not wired has its pros and cons. most importantly, is what are the nature of activities with your network ya As for opennet, it is just another way to connect to internet. Starhub broadband is connected via SCV point, while Singnet is connected via telephone line. Opennet only setups the optical network and it is not an ISP. it will be up to Singnet and Starhub to decide whether and when to use the optical network to provide internet connection. optical network is the next frontier after what singnet and starhub has done so far with boardband. and by comparison, fibre optics and be much much faster! opennet is just to prepare the optical fibre cabling to prepare for the eventuality when Singnet and Starhub roll out is optical fibre service plans Hope my explanation will not confuse you Hope my explanation will not confuse you wow still a bit chim for me to understand.
