when u summit termination form that time u have to stat the reason u terminate the streamyx. State there u upgrade to unifi and TM will no bill u for terminate with in contract period

Cheap hardware chipset with custom firmware for VLAN support. It's needed to separate the Internet and IPTV network. They're also refusing to give out the user/pass combination for the SSH and telnet login for the router.

woot.... can iptv be configure on streamyx 1,2, and 4 B package....cause if is i wanna get this!! IPTV

So when is digital terrestrial tv starting?

I hope we can get the same free international channels on digital terrestrial too since it'll be some time before we can get fiber into homes.

in your opinion, is this practice normal or is it standard to all ISPs that offer IPTV and Internet?

really? good to know that. Then there will no reason for me not to enroll into Unifi. Was worry have to pay RM350 for what i just only register the super upgrade thing. Thanks! But my location Melawati will available on Q3, got to wait

Unifi means we will have more quality local peer? xD

If you're talking about the practice of giving users a custom DLink router, yea it is. Based on the DD-WRT forums, all the DIR-615 revisions after C1 are ISP given boxes that perform poorly -- hence the need to put DD-WRT on it. What's not a normal practice is locking the users out of that hardware or forcing them to use their IPTV set top box though.

Has anybody started using this yet?if so do tell me what you think about this as i'm considering to switch from p1 to this

A lot of people have started using this already.. just scroll back a few pages on this thread.

one question for user rizvanrp ( i hope you will read this )

currently i'm using a Linksys WRT310N (dd-wrt)

i'm planning to use my linksys instead of the DIR615 provided by TM..

so... regarding the VLAN tagging issue.. is it as simple as "Setup>Networking> under VLAN tagging > fill in the tag number (i assume is vlan id), interface and priority"??? [these steps refers to the dd-wrt GUI]

thanks for the help.

how's the router performing so far?

torrent on unifi is unthrottled so all local & international peers are higher quality

UniFi ip how?
start with 110?

110.159.xx.xx

thanks rizvanrp...

I can't tell you for sure that it will work because I currently don't have a dd-wrt router to mess around with. However, someone else confirmed that as long as you have the VLAN ID (500) it should work as he managed to get it working on his own hardware. I've probed, retrieved and confirmed the VLAN IDs myself and it appears he was correct. Having dd-wrt firmware means having full control over the router so I'm pretty sure there's a 99% chance it will work as long as you know what you're doing

In any case, they will provide you with a DIR-615 router so you could probably post some screenshots here later and we'll try to help you get it up and running on your WRT310N.

wokay.. then i guess my wrt310n can be used then

as for the screenshots... hmm.. sorry ya.. still long way to go... my area is scheduled Q3

but i will still post up screenshots / how-to when i figure out how to set up using a dd-wrt router...

btw.. an unrelated question...

which router is better ? (in terms of cpu performance)

DIR-615 TM version or Linksys WRT310N?

I opened up my DIR-615 yesterday to take a look at the chips. The CPU was covered with some metal shielding (which I did not want to remove) but the RAM and Flash memory chips were visible. According to Google, the Linksys WRT310N is (300mhz/32MB RAM/4MB flash) and the DIR-615 is (400mhz/32MB RAM/4MB flash). However, since I didn't open the metal shielding I can only confirm the TM router (DIR-615 rev G1) has 32MB RAM/4MB flash.. it has 2x Winbond SDRAM chips. I don't know what processor it's using.

Their performance would be about the same however the Linksys definitely has the upper hand because :

1) It can run DD-WRT whereas the DIR-615 G1 cannot
2) The DIR-615 is completely locked down and lacking many features, DD-WRT is not
3) Linksys WRT310N has Gigabit ethernet ports while the DIR-615 is 10/100mbps, meaning if you have a wired fileserver the wireless would still peak out at 10-11MB/s maximum regardless if you're using Wireless N .. because of the 100mbps port limitation

In other news.. I did some testing earlier after I replied to your question :



As you can see, I managed to connect to Unifi without the use of the DLink router. I just plugged my laptop directly into the Fiberhome modem. Basically the screenshot shows the 8021q (VLAN) kernel module loaded, eth0.500 (Ethernet VLAN ID 500) interface running, pppoe configuration file (dsl-provider), ping test to google.com, ppp0 (established PPP connection) interface status and wireshark with PPP auth/configuration packets and what not to prove its not photoshopped.

The PPPoE connection must be made on eth0.500 (VLAN ID 500) and not just eth0 like Windows dialer normally does. Failure to have PPPoE run through eth0.500 results in no PPP server response. Basically, as long as your router firmware supports PPPoE connections and VLAN tagging.. it definitely will work for Unifi

wow.. thanks for taking the trouble to find out these things....

to make things short i just need to put port 1 (connected to fiberhome modem) into a seperate VLAN, assign VLAN ID 500 and i'm good to go rite??

NICE~~
