Which option of modem and router installation is more practicle and cost savings ? Please discuss.

Option 1: at the tv cabinet in the living area.
Advantage : No need to buy home plug or usb wifi dongle for future iptv or other tv set top box. Better latency and speed using lan cable.

Option 2: Home pc work station in the study room, away from main tv in the living area.

Advantage: ?

your installation apa macam? try get near to tm & maxis. how they setup the fiber ONT & thompson route. this is very important. at least if minor prob u can resolve on own. do share it out incase if you forgotten. can refer to old post.

i choose option 1. my study room is just beside the living room.
and i use my laptop in the living room.

cost saving wise.
if you not going to add-on the IPTV then pasang at study room.
if you opt for IPTV then pasang at living room.

practical wise.
depends where you use your internet more.
for me living room~

Video capture everything with your Camcorder

LOL.. you make ppl stress only...

later they pasang wrong cause of stress~
but you recorded their face lol.

Video capture in secret... spycam

Haha. later thy though u put in youtube, stress then install the wrong thing.

yes, they do. hopefully they don't drill the power line & pipeline on the wall. frankly speaking it is messy. after they drill they cover it with plaster. so you need to repaint on 2 sides. and if inner your wall is tiled.. do expect crack tiles which need to be replace.

btw, MAXIS haven't call me. already a week...
last saturday i call to check my application status, they say will call me back. until now a call also x de. WTH

Mine is here too. Installation is completed

what is the ?dBM value at end point to your ONT. how was the init when device power up. u know. you can omit if too technical.

So how thy drill the wall? urs is high rise or land hs?

Anyone of u here change VOIP number before? How long does it take for new number to activated?

High rise here. No drilling needed, just reuse the existing port + existing ADSL wire = job done
