Video

Hi there, it's a 2 year old video but still very relevant for new homeowners like myself! I am getting a old 4 room resale house (~early 2000s flat) and the DB Box is in the bomb shelter which is situated in the kitchen, what would be the best mesh network configuration for someone who is planning to have a home office in bedroom 2 (just beside the master br), but also want consistent and strong wifi signal across all bedrooms + living room?

Excellent video! Easy to understand and detailed explanation! Thanks! 😊

Hi, when you close your DB box, did you still get the wifi signal?

Thank you for the informative video! Simplified for noobs. Question tho, when setting up wired mesh , you mentioned need to connect the mesh to db box then to modem. However in my modem, only one port is enabled. The other LAN ports are disabled. How is it setup? Do we need to get Lan splitter?

Very informative.. this is so useful.. Can i check whether your present set up can be done for Mesh set up as well?.. I intend to set up Wifi 7 using Mesh (2 or 3) for my new BTO.. Thanks in advance

Amazing guide! I just signed up for whizzcom's 2.5gb plan, and they provide a ONR. Was planning to connect ONR to the HDB switches, then ethernet cable from the switch in the study room to a mesh router. Does this work?

Hi. Can I ask. Is there any need to configure the router that was connected to your modem?

Thank you for sharing! I kind of understand how these things work but not too sure about the terminology. This video helps a lot!

Thank you for the video, it is very informative. If you put your main router in the DB Box, will the WIFI signal be degraded when the cupboard is closed? If i want to put my main mesh router in a central area of my apartment, does that mean that I need 2 ethernet ports at that location? One for WAN and one for Wired backhaul

with a 3 part video, i dunno why i was expecting you to bust out a full on network rack LOL! but this is barely overkill, no router can cover 1 full house entirely. is the d1 to d6 a patch panel to the different rooms?

Thank you

When I put my router in my room. It doesn't have Internet although it has WIFI damn confusing.

12:06 Just by looking at the Line8 track height i headache already… the contractor really never thought of the dangling wires when she suggested..? and if unlucky some appliances might not even reach

oh my GODDDD, it is very frustrating how the husband kept playing down the wife’s concerns. The issues brought up are real and affect daily living. Respect her concerns and willingness to share with viewers!!!

With your current setup Asus Mesh, do you have separate wifi signals for DB box router and the common room router? I am just curious, what happens when I go to master bedroom from my living room. does my cellphone gets transferred to common room router seamlessly or not.

Hi, thanks for your guide. May I know router connect to the modem inside the DB box need any configuration setup?

I know this is 1 year ago, for the wired mesh. Let's say without ethernet splitter in the study room. can 1 PC used lan, the other tap wireless to the mesh?

Hi, thanks for sharing - I looked for THR because of your video - however before committing with them, just tot a last check to see after 2+ years, would you still recommend them? Is their carpentry long lasting, any problem? Many thanks again!!!

Hi, may I know the company/contractor for your sliding door? Thanks!

Can I connect ONT to a switch in the dB box. The output of the switch will connect to each of the input of D1 to D3. Router will be place at the output of D1 which will provide network for TV and Wifi. Output of D2 and D3 will have wired network

Bro may i know what cat ethernet cable you using? Its slim. I like it, easier to manage. TIA

Epoxy grouting is expensive issit? What about the aircon piping? Is yours concealed with carpentry works?

Thank you for the super useful tips! May I know if the port thing at 5:21 is provided by ISP or HDB? If not, how much does it cost? Thank you 😁

Thanks alot on the informative and easy to understand explanation. Really helps alot to plan and maximize connection throughout the whole house.

Thanks for the guide man! I was on the verge of tearing my hair off coz idk how to set up my home WiFi, now I have a slight idea... Looking to get the 2.5gbps connection from whizzcomms, gonna buy a wireless router which supports 2.5gbps, put in my db box, connect it to the ethernet port(D1 to D5) thingy to my main bed room and put a deco wireless mesh in my main room, so my main room has WiFi and my one PC can use ethernet lan connection from my deco wireless mesh in my main room... Thank you for the clarifications and guide bro!

hey i recently faced an odd issue where my router RT-AX56U LED lights all are not turning on but according to the APP, the device is connected. I tried using the APP to force turn on the LED, turning on/off the router and even pressed the reset button, but the LED lights are still off. Anyone encounters this before? :/ have been using only for 7 months..

Hi my current house is using 2 router. if i walk out from main bedroom to living room, if I'm taking a WhatsApp call, the line will break., Because I will lose WIFI signal while waiting to connect to the living router. Will this happen to mesh network as well? cause it's the same thing from main bedroom node to living node. thanks

BTO is easy as there are ports in room

Bro what type of LAN cable u used. They are so slim and thin

If you put Router in DB box, does it lower the wifi for living room?

I have a pc that always gets packet loss issues while gaming…. It has always been directly connected to my range extender…I’m sure that the range extender messes up with my pc somehow…I don’t have a ethernet port in my room…I have old phone lines which I plan to switch to ethernet if can…

Yay！Hi！I wanted to do the sliding door like your kitchen too, how much for this sliding door har? :D

Hi, thanks for the great videos .. so is getting a 1gb plan over kill in the senario if i dont use LAN at all since your test results all resides within 500mb. Thanks.

Could you have two ISP services in one house? Would the Wi-Fi interfere?

1. **Modem:** - A modem (short for modulator-demodulator) is a device that connects your home network to your internet service provider (ISP). It translates digital data from your network into a format that can be transmitted over your ISP's infrastructure. 2. **Router:** - A router is a critical device for managing the distribution of internet connectivity within your home network. It connects to the modem and directs internet traffic to different devices in your home. 3. **Access Points (APs):** - Access points are devices that extend the reach of your Wi-Fi network, especially in larger homes or areas with poor signal coverage. They connect to the router and provide additional wireless coverage. 4. **Ethernet Switch:** - Ethernet switches are used to expand the number of wired Ethernet ports available in your home network. They allow you to connect multiple devices using Ethernet cables. 5. **Ethernet Cables:** - Ethernet cables are used to establish wired connections between devices such as computers, gaming consoles, and smart TVs and the router or switch. They come in various lengths. 6. **Wi-Fi Extenders/Repeaters:** - These devices are used to boost Wi-Fi signals in areas with weak coverage. They capture the existing Wi-Fi signal and amplify it, extending the range of your wireless network. 7. **Coaxial Cable and Splitters:** - Coaxial cables are used for cable TV and cable internet connections. Splitters can divide the signal to connect multiple devices. 8. **Phone Jacks and Filters:** - Phone jacks and DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) filters are used for traditional landline phone connections, allowing both telephone and internet services to coexist on the same line. 9. **Fiber Optic Cables (Optional):** - Fiber optic cables are used for ultra-high-speed internet connections. These cables transmit data using light signals and provide extremely fast internet speeds. 10. **Network Adapters:** - Network adapters, such as Wi-Fi adapters or Ethernet cards, are used in devices like laptops or desktop computers to connect to the network. 11. **Network-Attached Storage (NAS) (Optional):** - A NAS device allows you to store and share data on your home network, making files and media accessible to all connected devices. 12. **Firewall and Security Devices (Optional):** - Firewalls and security devices enhance network security by monitoring and filtering network traffic to protect against unauthorized access and threats. 13. **Structured Wiring Panels (Optional):** - These panels are used in more complex installations to centralize and organize all network and communication connections within a home. 14. **Smart Home Hubs/Gateways (Optional):** - For smart home automation, hubs or gateways may be used to connect and control various smart devices like lights, thermostats, and cameras. 15. **Powerline Adapters (Optional):** - Powerline adapters use your home's electrical wiring to transmit network data. They can be useful in areas where Wi-Fi signals are weak.

what does messing with the router settings do?

Hi! Would two routers with antenna better than two mesh routers? And i understand it's cheaper than mesh router right?

just share with us who is your contractor ...

Hi great video! For a 4 room bto layout, but with most walls knocked down such that there is only one large living/dining room + one larger master bedroom, would it better with 2 mesh nodes (1 in the db box and 1 in the master bedroom) or better than with 1 router in the db box (say, ASUS RT-AX3000 with more ports) and 1 mesh node in the master bedroom? Assuming the mesh nodes are all via wired backhaul

Hi may i ask how much is the sliding door pls? Thanks

Hi bro. If I put my AX-3000P in my db box and connect it to D5, then D5 to Mesh Router (Asus XD5) in Mbrm, can it work? Then rely on the AX-3000P for wifi in living rm

care to share what kind of doorbell/sensor your uses?

hi could you share where did u get the solar film?

I have a 2gbps M1 fibre broadbandd (2x 1gbps). I connect LAN 1 port of ONT to my ASUS router. Does LAN 2 of my ONT can be used to connect straight to say, D1-D6 ports?

can share your id? would avoid it. money is paid but doesn't seem meticulous to notice the small things that cause inconvenience.

Hi, may I know if the common bathroom's shower glass sliding doors are difficult to keep clean? Is it difficult to clean the overlapping areas of the 2 glass panels?

Actually, balconies, a lot of people got it because the older HDB can seal it up with windows to extend their existing rooms. However, the BTO balconies are not allowed to be sealed fully resulting in many hitting this gotcha at key collection / renovation. Those who want to make full use of the space either use as outdoor dirty space or go around the problem by "sealing it up" with blinds. As such, ZipTracks / ZipScreens 1% open is a popular choice to "by-pass" this in a way that is inline with regulations (That it cannot be completely sealed) Some secretly install those 0% transparent ones and basically keep them permanently shut and from far nobody can tell anyway.

Hey! Thanks for the video! What type of tiles did you use? Are they laminate wood?

The shower thing, i think with a screw driver will probably take 5min to turn the thing around.

Is it means that if I was using mesh,one of the node must be in the DB box ?
