You need the 2Gb speed meh ?

Good question. I think this question been around since the 1gbps fibre broadband started. Do you need it? Answer for 90% of SG house is = NO.

 

1) Does your device (laptop, iPhone, iPad) support 2gbps speed on wifi? No.

 

2) Can your router support 2gbps speed on wifi with multiple devices? No.

 

3) Ethernet LAN cable. Do you even use it? No.

 

4) Most websites, Netflix, YouTube, streaming sites don't even need that much bandwidth to stream HD. So no need.

 

5) How many tech-savvy ppl in your household constantly heavy usage simultaneously? If not, then no need.

 

Summary. 300mbps - 500mbps is more than enuff for majority households. You may experience slow speed at certain corners room of your house, not because of brandband speed not enuff, but because your router cannot reach that spot. So go work on solving the networking problem than go subscribe the fastest speed.

 

My 5 cents.

For few times I nearly buy the cheap 55”...but were put off after peeking at the back panels...placement of input slots were odd and only 3 HDMI ports.

 

Panesonics ones are really good deal but worry that they might be exiting the tv business...

 

U only need 1 HDMI port only.

[Blueray]

Yeah, for some they are just concerned than can surf in toilet.

I’m lazy and spoiled by my good old tv with 4 ports...1 each for my SH, android, DVD and lappy.

With AV Receiver, 1 enough liao.

200mbps is not good enough to surf in the toilet 

 

actually i learn something, fiber comes in dual band and by default will connect to the faster 5GHz one, so when i am inside the toilet i will switch to the normal band

Do you mean HDMI splitter or switcher? My console is already filled with devices including soundbar and woofer.

My Singtel router is auto 2.4 or 5. And yes, its 5 at most parts of my house. 

 

I reckon for most of us, 1,300 - 1,500sf household, the standard router should be able to cover the whole place with 5, including the toilets.

That why I don't use sound bar.

 

AV Receiver + 2 front + 1 center + 1 sub.

 

With AV Receiver, TV only need 1 HDMI.

2.4 has bigger area coverage instead of 5

oh i learn another thing today, no wonder the signal getting weaker after i put the cordless phone next to the router, also a big bluetooth speaker beside it      Time to move them away.

Yeah, most of the stuff at home runs on 2,4, so traffic could get a bit cluttered. 

 

So have you done a speedtest in your toilet after the reorg at home ?

Ya, 2.4 has further reach. I also get more bars on 2.4 when in the toilet.

[Blueray]

Hmmm ... I think next time should tell openet termination point should be the toilet. :-)

[Freemen]

Yeah, for some they are just concerned than can surf in toilet.  

 

When i an using a normal router with 2 antenna, i am not able to get signal when i am in toilet. Bought an expensive Asus Tri band router with 6 antenna & i can continue to surf when i am making cake

Sorry...I didn't mean at this IT show but at other expo or road shows by BD or HN etc. Their prices are competitive against Philips... Edited March 16, 2018 by mersaylee
