What are the improvements to Wireless@SG?
Answer: The access speed has been increased to at least 5 Mbps per user. The speed is sufficient to meet today’s broadband needs, such as email, social media, and video streaming.
We have also been making efforts to simplify the login process without compromising security. Automatic login for SIM devices was introduced in April 2014, and it allows users to automatically connect to any Wireless@SG hotspot without the need for registration and passwords.
The same convenience has now been extended to non-SIM devices. Users can download the enhanced Wireless@SG app, which will guide them through a one-time setup process. You only need to key in your Date of Birth and your local mobile number, and a one-time password (OTP) will be sent via SMS to you to complete the one-time setup.
What if I already have an existing Wireless@SG account?
Answer: Your current Wireless@SG account will still be valid until 31 Dec 2017; after which it will be deactivated. Users are strongly encouraged to download the enhanced Wireless@SG app to have their devices configured to connect automatically to the Wireless@SGx network.You may download Wireless@SGx from iOS store, Google Play Store, Mac App Store and the Windows app from the IMDA webpage and follow the step by step instructions to setup your devices.
