What is going on with your Fibre broadband services?
I have been disconnected more times than I can count in a day and this has been happening since last week. Plus it has been really really sloooooooooooooooooow.
P.S. Please don't tell me to change my router again because that was what your technical helpdesk claimed was the issue the last time and I have the NEW DUAL BAND router now...

The comparison was done with routers placed at the same location. Tried
Eric's suggestion but problems persist. Firmware is the next thing that I
will be checking. You link came in time as SH has not replied my email.
Btw, anyone know if 5GHz signal is weaker than 2.4GHz signal? This is what
I observed on my Samsung Tab 3.
Thanks to all...!! : )

Yes, 5Ghz as comparing is actually much weak in wireless coverage. It will be recommended to use 2.4Ghz if the distance is further to have a better and stable connection.

You need to check with Starhub (Technician dept) on the devices they recommend.
Singtel and Starhub are using different network & signal.
When you sign up as 'new' subscriber on Starhub, i recommend that you need the Starhub devices.
This way, it is safer as to avoid problems in the future.
As you had mentioned it was because of the signal, then it is the compatible issue.
To avoid future with similar issue, get Starhub modem & router.
This will solve all your problem, including signal issue.
There are many signal frequency and network.
In the past, i did had a router.
When i hook and use it, it did not response.
On checking the specs, then i noticed that frequency was for Singtel only.
Regards,
Eric.

An update:
My router is likely the cause of the inconsistent wireless signal and intermittent connection, as advised by the technical support team.

Kai Boon,
I did. Changed to CH11 and CH161 for 2.4GHz and 5GHz respectively as advised by D-Link. No improvement. Restored to factory default and changed the channels also did not help. It is really a bad experience for not able to get this technical issue sorted out...

Supporting this.
Few months ago, SH fibre always frequent DC from network. (About 10 mins and it comes back)
I complained and nothing was done.. always push back to the Router issue.
Then suddenly one fine day, it was working fine until this week.
This time round, its not a DC from network, there is no/ slow network, As my Router and ONT is outside, i did not check the LED lights as well.
But this time round, issue happens usually 8pm to 12pm evening time (Peak hour i know)
My area bukit panjang.
Just Hope starhub can just be frank. If there is a fault, just tell us.
If somewhere the overseas cable break again, can also tell us. Not knowing anything but keep on restarting the ONT and router doesnt work.

Kai Boon,
SH has not been forthcoming and I have to self help, writing to SH Sales, SH Technical and D-Link, since the service activation late last year. My problem has taken too long to be addressed and it is still uncertain if it can be addressed, untill I exchange the router at D-Link servicing center and test it out in the next few days. The experience is bad...
