Setup Singnet 2 Wire Modem

Singnet does not provide a detail instruction on how to setup the Singnet 2 Wire 2701HGV-E Modem. I am providing you a detail explanation on how to setup your modem for Broadband Connection. It is specially created for all novice Singnet Broadband users. You do not even need to use the CD they provide as you will need to disable your anti virus and firewall program in order for it to work.

Setting up 2 WIRE Modem(For First Time User)

You will need to start with the hardware setup first.

1. Connect Power Adaptor Cable to the Power Port on the Modem
2. Plug your telephone cable to Phone Line Port on Modem and to your telephone socket point
3. Connect LAN/Ethernet/RJ45 cable to LOCAL ETHERNET port (can plug to any port) and the other end to your computer
4. Power on your Modem

You need to wait for it to load up and the Broadband Light turns Stable. If the Broadband light is blinking, please contact Singnet. At this point, the Internet light will still be RED .

The next step is to setup the Modem so that you can start surfing the internet.

Modem Setup Configuration

1. Modem and computer is now connected via LAN Cable
2. Open your browser like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Opera
3. Type 192.168.1.254 in the URL Box
4. You should see INTERNET CONNECT/DISCONNECT on the left hand side
5. Click on the link
6. Fill in the following information
   USER NAME: user id@singnet (provided by Singtel)
   PASSWORD: broadband password (provided by Singtel)
   CONFIRM PASSWORD: broadband password (provided by Singtel)
7. Click CONNECT
8. Internet light should turn from Red to Green

You should be ready to start surfing the internet once you got the Internet Light turn to Green. If Internet light is still RED, it means broadband password is wrong.

Cafe World Guide

There are a lot of different social games on sites like Facebook and MySpace. I’ve seen a dozen of them in the last few months blow up and frankly I didn’t get it at first. I saw people playing very simple and free games and while they looked interesting enough, they really weren’t all that engaging considering what they were.

But, then I started playing Café World like the rest of the Facebook users. Don’t ask me why it was Café World. It could have been any of them probably. They’re all the same generally, and in that they are extremely addictive. But, it was Café World and now two months later I’m a bit of an addict – I love this game.

So, when I heard there was a guide coming out for it that would help to speed things along, I was first in line to read it. I wanted to know exactly what it was that this Café World guide could offer that I couldn’t figure out on my own. Having play the Cafe World for 2 months, I was roughly 30 levels into the game. I would play about 5 days a week. I always time when my food will be cook and serve on time and get the cash.

The Café World guide, however, showed me exactly how to outline and master the process of what to cook, when to cook it and how to set up the café before I logged off each night. Turns out you can actually make quite a tidy profit while not even logged in – for days on end if you want.

I couldn’t possibly touch on all the cool things that this guide does right, but here’s the bottom line – Café World is a tough game without some guidance. There are dozens of dishes, possible combinations and ways for you to mess up with. This Café World guide, I was able to create the perfect combination of tactics. I’m now at level 45 and have way more cash than I’ll ever need – and I’m having more fun than ever. That’s what a good guide should do.
