First connection: Wireless@SG

Today I was at the Scoopasia office in Raffles City (a.k.a Starbucks) testing out our new wireless infrastructure (a.k.a Wireless@SG). Since IDA was nice enough to provide tax-supported WiFi for those working and playing in the area, why not get on and get some work done?

Up till now, it's been 3 hours and no drop out. Not bad despite not having a full bar on this sofa in the corner. This is what it's made of:

  • SSID: Wireless@SG
  • Channel: 1 (At least in Starbucks)
  • No login, but there's a splash page with a button to click.

But there's one thing I didn't like about it. The network appears to only allow Web (HTTP) and email traffic. Which could mean that many ports are blocked. Skype worked, but MSN didn't by default. I had to route my MSN traffic through HTTP for it to work.

You might want to use Web-based IM clients such as Meebo when you use Wireless@SG .

Apart from the usual work, reading, and writing this blog post, I did download the latest version of AdiumX (20MB) and it felt as if IDA did keep their promise of 512Kbps per user. Thanks again guys, I think you'll see me around the area a bit more this month!
