D-Link DIR-615 WiFi is not draft, its 802.11n finalize with up to 300Mb/sec, but the problem LAN and WAN only support 10/100Mb/sec

i see i see.. good news loh.. but bottleneck exists in LAN to wireless or the other way round....

btw from the pictures posted by other forumers, the DIR-615 is not the one shown in D-Link website right?
because (despite the colour) the size appears to be smaller than the actual 615, and there's a USB port in front of it...
hmm...

There is no USB port for DIR-615, you can refer the spec from http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=565

yup.. thats the reason why i said its not the actual dir-615 from the website.. i remember few pages back one forumer posted a pic of the
wireless modem (orange colour) given by TM.. the model number is DIR-615 and there's a USB port in front of the router...

since the router is a must, guess most of us will hv to sell our existing router when it's available and may be coz most router brand sale decrease...

The router is a must for the beta testers since the settings/configuration for it is still not known yet. If you can get your hands on it then you should be able to connect with any other routers.

If I'm not mistaken, we can still use back our own router if:

1) You have an existing Wireless Router
2) Wireless router enabled (but not DSL modem router enabled)
3) Dialing streamyx from Wireless Router

from the router level, instead of choosing PPPoE, we should select "Ethernet DHCP" (Corp should select Ethernet Static)

---------------------

Hmm... I forgot about the IPTV... Any beta tester able to confirm set top box are connecting directly to the FTTP ONU or Dlink wireless router? xts mentioned before IPTV and Internet are using different VLAN.

Then it is not DIR-615 model as mention by manufacturer website, its another model that exact to DIR-615.

back to basic..

CAT6 UTP cable FTW..

not necessarily, u could always use it as an access point and extend ur wireless coverage
that could work, provided that ur router has VLAN and TR-069... TM uses that to ensure the CPE is up to date with the ACS... also remote troubleshooting uses that..
from the router level still using PPPoE.. a bit like streamyx, username@hsbb and password... my last chat with hsbb technician says set top box will be connected to router..
router custom made for tm with custom firmware.. usb port maybe for dlink's SharePort feature... hsbb tech told me.. so if he tipu me, then i tipu u.. hahaha 

saw some people fixing wires around my area, Cheras, since last month, that was on the town main road (Cheras Perdana) just 3 days ago i saw 2 men digging and doing something at my housing area, it was weird, since usually if TM people doing maintainence, they would just open up that giant cylinder shaped thingy, but this time they dug and had a construction sign about jalur lebar pantas internet this and that. Asked the, it was noisy, i said is it HSBB? they said yaaaa

yeah! at last... upgraded to fiber optic. hope to view a good result soon.

Highlights from low-tier Draft-N roundup (disclosure: affiliated, though interpretation/conclusions may not reflect stated views):
-Only 32 simultaneous connections, compared to 80 for the next lowest device. This is not a router you want to use BitTorrent with.
-50% throughput loss when using WEP/WPA.
-Shorter range than comparable devices. May be sufficient for small apartments, but you may experience problems w/ multifloor locations.
-On the bright side, you're likely to be using G clients. Wireless throughput is within 30% of reaching performance provided by high-end equipment.

Auto-QoS wasn't supported at the time of the review, but was added to the latest firmware (for hardware revision B2). It's not a bad router, as its overall performance, although lower than everything else, is only behind by a small margin. The dismal number of simultaneous connections is a step back to 2003 though; for this reason I wouldn't recommend its use in anything more than households w/ 1-2 concurrent users.

Basically it's worrying to use this router for torrenting :/
