I don't know why people can change here and there is quite troublesome to be honest also come mobile.
If you intend to stick with Singtel until death do us part, then ok lah. As for me I dun like to get hold by someone, if service no good I change the telco......
Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge

If you need a replacement for your faulty Singtel equipment, such as Optical Network Terminal (ONT), Optical Network Router (ONR), Router, Set-Top Box (STB), or Singtel TV Remote Control, visit any of the following Self-Replacement Centres for an exchange:

unlike those wall-fixed routers used at home, the mobile router come with sim card slot for use outdoor so that your laptop has wifi access
another way is to use yr phone as a mobile router by turning it into a wifi hot spot.

Don’t keep Turning ON and OFF your router too frequently. It may damage the power unit inside the router due to high current flow during initial power up.
Router uses minimal power.
If router spoilt due to power unit failure, it is silly to get a replacement router, Time and $$$ wasted…
I would recommend if you die die want to switch it off. May be switched it off once a week.
For me. I have never switched off my router. None of my current and old routers has ever spoilt before. It may be a very painful experience you can’t surf net at home due to router spoilt.

I haven't bought one for a number of years so I wouldn't know where's the best place to buy. If you're not in need of one, you can wait for black friday and buy from amazon or one of the online sites. If urgent of course go to sim lim liao.
It is best to get it from Challenger. They are more and reliable and trusted source.

I have never turned it off since day 1.
Until now still ok, touch wood firmly.
Was also told not necessary to off to save electricity as usage very low.
Not sure how much we can save if off it when not using.

Is not turn off complete, i mean is turn off and on again like reset
as mention i don't know Singtel tech guy told me the default modem not say good is like CPF got ram inside sometimes if you have slow or what will reset clear the memory etc likewise same for the default modem.
He told me of course those expensive one no need like that just like once in blue moon if you noticed internet speed seem not right etc.

If still can’t work then buy a new router to replace it.
Now no more give free modem for Singtel and StarHub , got to pay for wifi 6 router modem monthly even if you subscribe the new lines…
Now telcos become very cheapo…
May be you can try viewQuest, got free modem, if I am not wrong.
many thanks, bro...............
