There is a time and place for both technologies and as
such, we see that they actually compliment and not
substitute each other.
With this in view, we would like to highlight certain aspects
of wireless technology so that our broadband users in
particular, can be better aware, understand and appreciate
the implications surrounding wireless technologies.
What should I be aware of?
First up, consumers should be aware that when using
wireless technology, you might not be able to receive
the same broadband access speed when compared with
the speed experienced through wired connectivity. This
happens with any service subscribed to and provided by
any service provider.
Wireless access performance may be affected by a number of
factors, such as,
1. The thickness of internal premise walls.
2. Interference from the presence of electrical equipment.
3. The actual positioning or distance of the wireless
router, etc
In the case of TM’s High Speed Broadband UniFi service,
both wired and wireless Internet access connectivity is
offered through the installed router, commonly known as a
Residential Gateway (RG).
Some facts about your TM Residential Gateway (RG) ;
1. The RG is compatible with computers that are
wireless enabled.
2. If you do not have a wireless-enabled computer, you
may be able to upgrade your computer by purchasing
a wireless USB adaptor.
