Musings

I’ve been having a little problem – well, not little when u can’t access Internet signals in my home. I’m on a wireless network using Apple’s time capsule which is both a N router and a hard disk. Altho’ it’s a N router, I get intermittent signals from my study which is 6 walls away in a L-shaped corridor.

Sometimes I’m lucky I get 1 bar of the signal, but it drops often. The best time is at night when the signals are strongest but only when my neighbour upstairs switches off his signals. Why I know it’s my neighbour’s signals? Well, his signals are strongest above my bedroom – so strong that it knocks out my own wireless bubble.

I can’t do without Internet so I’ve subscribed to mobile broadband – really good deal from STarhub in a promotion last month. First 3 months free cos there’s maxonline subscription in my house and thereafter 50 % discount for 2 years. Under $40 a month for internet on the go.

I’ve tried it at cafes and it’s wonderful not having to try endlessly trying to get on to wireless@sg.
