Performance wise, the hardware for the dir-615 g1 is pretty standard. 400mhz processor, 32MB RAM and 8MB flash. Only problem here is that it's draft-N and lacks gigabit support. The WNDR3700 has a 680 MHz processor and 64MB of RAM. The WZR-HP-G300NH uses a 380Mhz RAlink/400Mhz Atheros processor which is identical to the one in the dir-615 G1 TM gives.. though it has 64MB of RAM. Right now, when I torrent on the dir-615 G1 with dd-wrt.. I always have around 15MB of free RAM available. System load stays below 0.10..

If you really want some heavy duty performance (say >4 P2P users on your network), I still recommend getting a Mikrotik router. They're cheap and powerful. The RB450G has gigabit support, RouterOS (its like DD-WRT), 680Mhz CPU, 256MB of RAM, 512MB flash and is built to fully support embedded router distributions.

There's really no point in looking for a RM500+ router that has to be hacked in order to support DD-WRT when you can buy one with a fully working router OS on it for rm250-400.

Anyway, enjoying torrents on my dd-wrt TM dir-615 G1 at the moment.. will try to get the IPTV working soon

In what way? In terms of physical connectivity, Unifi's Ethernet over fiber > Streamyx's ATM link performance already.

Nope. Not at all.

@riz

Mikrotik router i've heard these mentioned a few times though not sure why.

RB450G what is the difference with the 750g ? I couldn't find any mention of that :/

found out.






Apparently it supports ddwrt

But is router os any better then wrt :/ ??

RB450G and RB750G both have gigabit ports and have the same 680Mhz Atheros processor. However, the RB450G costs nearly 2x more because it has serial, comes with a nicer metal casing and most importantly has 256MB of RAM vs the 32MB of RAM on the RB750G. The RB450G also has 512MB of flash memory while the RB750G has around 64MB I think.

OS wise, Routerboards can use their own RouterOS or OpenWRT. Both of which are as capable as or more capable than DD-WRT, simply because the RouterBOARD was designed to run those operating systems unlike most dd-wrt routers.. which have to be 'hacked' in order to run dd-wrt firmware. Everything on the RouterBOARD works.. such as full VLAN support and PPPoE connectivity which is required for Unifi.

I actually spent a few days searching for a replacement for the TM DIR-615 G1 router till I managed to get DD-WRT to run on it. Among what I discovered were Intel Atom based systems (with only 2 Ethernet ports), Jetway motherboards with Atom chips (4 Gigabit LAN ports but using the Realtek chipset) and this RouterBOARD series. Measuring performance and power consumption to price ratio, the RouterBOARD series is perfect for being a high powered TM DIR-615 Unifi replacement in my opinion.

This is based on all the forums I read up on RouterBOARD, their own website and the given hardware specifications. Though, I'm starting to doubt the need for such a high powered router if you have less than 5 P2P users in your household because dd-wrt on the TM DIR-615 G1 is quite capable of handling heavy network loads. RouterBOARD's would be ideal for corporate Unifi users if they're being forced to use the DIR-615 I think

Rizvan, thanks for all of your hard work. Haha I'd gladly donate some money for you to further develop methods to use 3rd party firmware on TM DIR-615

Using DD-WRT download torrent better ah?

man the lame attempt at censorship on the iptv is bloody annoying.
the other day they simply freeze the channel (the Mok show), today I see a new one - a beige box on a cleavage. It was a bloody long shot btw. And the show is Extreme Makeover:Home Edition on BBC lifestyle.

they might as well remove the Fashion TV channel since there are many tits in there.

If there's anything TM hates more than P2P traffic, its boobs

Put the jokes aside.

Did you know that in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea the isps there are sometimes using porn to promote their packages?
They promote with ideas like "view your porn movies smoother with our high end packages as such.."
If you surf to their isps sites somettimes you see very interesting banners.

When will we have such kind of openess?

In your dreams, our internet is stone age, our telephone line quality is stone age, our radio FM signal is stone age, our paid TV is stone age, cut out when raining, our leader mindset is stone age, our public transport is stone age, our Gov online website/system is stone age.

welcome to the middle earth.

Taiwan's MOD IPTV via FTTX



Uuummm choose me uummm~

How you flash the modem? throug JTAG?

Emergency boot, used brainslayer's latest dir-615 rev d firmware from dd-wrt FTP server. I really do not recommend anyone doing this unless they know what they're doing.. or they will be cut off from Unifi until they figure it out ._. It's also irreversible at the moment because there's no DIR-615 G1 factory firmware out to my knowledge

DIR-615 G1 has no JTAG btw, just a 3.3v TTL connector for serial interface.

You are the man. Everything just looks awesome
Is is possible to help to set it up on WRT610? It's flashed with dd-wrt.
DD-wrt wiki says wrt610 has no vlan support as yet.
I am happy to advance a fee for a token of appreciation.

we are the flintstones after all , man I really envy you guys having such fast connection
when will they implement unifi at penang

Not necessary here. Because the users upgrade and pay for higher packages on their own either because their current packages do not provide the expected speeds, or they want to download more or faster, or get premium IP etc... no need for promos from ISP.

Yes they are outsourcing contractors, about 12 people came to install in my house (yes im not kidding), 4 ppl for outside work, 5 for inside work (different contractors from outside) and 3 TM staff to monitor and setting up the connection.

Added on April 19, 2010, 2:51 ami dont think so. they told me all the other 3 port on the FiberHome BTU are locked except for port 1. plus the iptv set top box have been configured to run only on the designated port (red colored) behind the d-link router.

Linksys WRT610N?

According to this page : http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT610N


I doubt its possible then. Technically, you don't need to preserve the VLAN tags when you forward packets. It just needs to be able to read and reply with VLAN tagged packets on the WAN interface (vlan2) only. But if the switch is just passively stripping off VLAN tags (much like what Windows does), nothing will work

It will not work.. but not because the ports on the Fiberhome are locked. The IPTV STB does not understand VLAN tags, the DLINK router does this 'translation' for it by listening on 2 VLAN IDs on its WAN/Internet port. Its configured to be aware of VLAN's 500 and 600. PPPoE connections are pushed through VLAN 500. The last port on the DLINK router (IPTV port) however is bridged with the WAN interface on VLAN ID 600.

You can wire your Dlink router to any port on the Fiberhome modem and it'll work. In fact you can wire any VLAN enabled Linux computer to any port on the Fiberhome modem and have it connect to Unifi for you

anyone from duta KL got FTTH ?
