THE BROADBAND RANT SINK V3

yongkailoon — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:16:07 +0800

Alright it has been more than two years since the first and second Broadband Rant Sink topic has been created and it has more than 2,500 replies in both the topics which shows that there are a lot of frustrated broadband users here in Malaysia. Before this topic was created, there were many topics that just rants all day long about how bad or slow their Internet connection is. To combat this problem, a Broadband Rant Sink topic was created so that forum members of Lowyat.NET can rant about their connection without having the need to create a new topic. So, this V3 will be a continuation of the first and second Broadband Rant Sink topic. Feel free to rant about anything and everything about your Internet connection here.

Project Unmasked

yongkailoon — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 23:22:08 +0800

[attachmentid=924165]

I've tried searching in this forum and have not found any details on this event yet and here I am promoting an event done by my college, Institute Advertising Communication Training.

QUOTE

The Story behind HIV/AIDS is a Corporate Social Responsibility project organized by the final year students of the subject Corporate Communication (IAA 65 and 66 of Institute Advertising Communication Training-IACT). Project UnMasked, reveals the ‘real’ stories of discrimination and fear experienced by people living with HIV/AIDS. Our aim is to break the stereotypical ideas of the situation, realizing that there are no physical differences between someone who is HIV+ and who is not. Thus, the tagline for the project, “Eradicate Stigma, Asserting Empathy”.

There will be performances by local artists like One Buck Short, cheerleading from Sekolah Sri Bestari and many more. Join the fun this Saturday at Jaya One from 10am to 7pm! More details can be found at the official blog for this project here.

My Proton Wira is jerking

yongkailoon — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 11:05:22 +0800

My Proton Wira 1.5(A) is jerking and I'm not too sure what's the problem as I'm not so good with cars. The issue happens when I accelerate it really slow (light foot on the pedal) and it tends to jerk. Another thing to note is that this problem only arise when I went up to Genting on New Year's Eve and it was a massive traffic jam going up and thus the car was left hanging most of the time. Any idea what is wrong with my car ?

3) No flame baiting be it starting a flame bait or joining.
4) There are at times posts related to downloads via P2P programs, discussions on this must not go over the limits especially discussing on illegal/copyrighted materials.

Buffalo Routers User Club

yongkailoon — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 21:50:17 +0800

Buffalo Inc., based in Nagoya, Japan, is a leading global provider of award-winning networking, storage and multi-media solutions for the home and small business environments as well as for system builders and integrators. With three decades of networking and computer peripheral experience, Buffalo has proven its commitment to delivering innovative, best-of-breed solutions that have put the company at the forefront of infrastructure technology.

Buffalo routers became a hot selling product somewhere around last year when it is known to be using the Broadcom chipset which allows it to be flashed to a third party firmware such as DD-WRT and Tomato. It was the WHR-G54S model that became one of the most wanted router at that time because the price of it was as low as RM145 and best of all once flashed with a third party firmware, it performs like any other expensive router with rich features. The price then were raised by most shops because it was on demand and the stocks are very limited at the moment due to the supplier not having stocks to supply.

Below are the Buffalo routers currently confirmed to be compatible with third party firmwares and are available in Malaysia :

Buffalo WHR-G54S (DD-WRT and Tomato tested to be working fine)

Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 (DD-WRT and Tomato tested to be working fine)

Buffalo WHR-G125 (Requires at least DD-WRT v24-build2007-0516, Tomato not supported)

The Buffalo WHR-G54S and WHR-HP-G54 are still based on the Broadcom5352 chipset which is the one used in Linksys WRT54GL so it is compatible with most third party firmwares. The Buffalo WHR-G125 on the other hand is based on the newer Broadcom5354 chipset which has a default clock speed of 240MHz, for DD-WRT you will have to flash it with DD-WRT v24-build2007-0516 as the older ones do not support this chipset while Tomato isn't supported at all.

Above is a screenshot of my Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 flashed with the latest Tomato 1.17 firmware. After flashing to a third party firmware, it performs really well and the QoS works like a charm so the word lag has been erased from my dictionary.

So users of any Buffalo routers, come on in and have our own discussion regarding our beloved "animal" that will be serving us ! Discussions can go from general discussion, third party firmwares on Buffalo, troubleshooting, market price, where to buy etc.
