madcat 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Another busy day to shop for our new house: Bought the below WMF stuff for my wife... so that she has no excuse for not cooking at home regularly 6 pc knife set with Kitchen helper WMF 30 pc set After that, we went to Lifestorey at Great World City to check out rug for living area.... but the price of rugs there is kinda out of our budget.. those 1.6mx2.3m on sales are minimum 560++.. but we cannot find the color we like. Rugs on regular price tag is 950 before GST..... My wife and I took another look at each other before leaving lifestorey Think we have to settle with HAMPEN rug from IKEA, which only costs 149 for 1.6mx2.3m size.

I will pay a visit to jacksons design hub in next weekend. Rugs with price tag of 500++ is way out of our budget. Even though IKEA one is not the ideal choice, we got no other choice at the moment. Hopefully we can find the right one in jacksons design hub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggy 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2010 Sort of... prepare in advance mah it is also partly due to my past experience with wireless router. very inconsistant when playing game or watching streaming movie online... so might as well setup the LAN network at home to solve it once and for all Hi madcat and Neo please enlighten me as I am no good with this IT stuff. When you say LAN cable whole house, do you mean running the cables along with the electrical cables? So with this, no need to use wireless modem? In my old place, we have a wireless modem. Whens surfing the net,sometimes speed ok sometimes very slow. some parts of the house always get disconnected also. Is doing this LAN cable the way to solve this problem? And how is this related to the open net? I thought for open net, just need to run a separate conduit for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And how is this related to the open net? I thought for open net, just need to run a separate conduit for them? 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 Edited July 25, 2010 by madcat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
