Exman 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2012 I got the starhub cable access through the wall between the MBR and the mid way staircase landing.Installed an ikea short shelf on the mid way staircase landing wall and placed the router and the cordless phone receiver on it.

Soichiro 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2012 not sure whether u had ur blinds done, but mine is done by DCV Furnishing - Danny LiewVery accomodating and did a comparison with 4 other companies quotes, i must say very reasonable impressed by Danny cos he actually took effort to go up my unit without my knowledge to check whether the place is 'clean enough' for installation in the midst of reno Thanks~ but I had my blinds done up like a year ago leh. Now doing pet screen for the balcony and kitchen coz I don't want to do grilles there.Balcony will be sliding screen, and kitchen will be roller pull-down screen.Hope this allows air ventilation while not allowing as much dust in, but primary purpose for this is to block our pets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But might be nice if done nicely. Still prefer 2 wireless routers like what I have now. It should pick the strongest signal automatically~ And, I'm still using desktop so will use cabled connection (more stable too) in study room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soichiro 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 Balcony paint seems to be wearing off very quickly. Any other mansionette owners experiencing this problem too? Not sure if its lousy painter, lousy paint or normal to expect this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The living room signal drops from 5 to 3. Worse still in one of the bedroom can't recieved any signal...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The living room signal drops from 5 to 3. Worse still in one of the bedroom can't recieved any signal......Hi there,Just make sure there is minimal concrete from router to wherever you expect to use the wifi.I have a maximum of 1 concrete wall in between router and device, except in kitchen and toilets.Also, make sure the signal line is relatively perpendicular to the wall. Avoid diagonally crossing a wall, or it could be equivalent of 2 or more walls.In your case, if your router is in the stairwell, and below the level 2 floor, it could be diagonally cutting through the floor before reaching your device. Try standing where your router is and look around, imagine a line between router and your device and see how you can move things around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking of getting a dark hood (preferably black) and wanted to know if this is what the rich silver will look like. Appreciate your help if possible. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soichiro 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2014 An update regarding the paint job at my balcony.The original painter used Dulux Weathershield on my balcony walls. The wall stained badly after just a few months, and seemed to dissolve in water when I tried to clean it. I could see the cement beneath the paint already. I told my contractor since it is covered under the 2-year warranty. He sent a different painter, and he said it is normal and regular repainting is needed. I asked why HDB exterior can last a few years, he said those are special paint not available to us. (???) He then quoted almost $200 to paint that wall (which just uses about 1 litre of paint).Eventually, I obtained some spare primer and leftover paint from my friend, and painted that wall myself. It has been almost 2 years, and still looking good!Conclusion? The painter didn't use primer, used lousy/expired paint, or diluted it with water? I'm not sure. But he sure wasn't honest about the condition of the paint on my wall. The left, right and back side of the walls of my balcony are still using the inferior paint job. Not too badly affected as the rain doesn't really reach there. Might consider repainting those areas some time in the future! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus a bit scary closer towards the exterior edges... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
