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
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.
and you guys still think Malaysia's IPTV is going to work?
I saw few contractors in Penang are are digging holes, and theres a lorry with 2 rolls of orange line ;O
yeah, i've seen a couple of times around bayan baru area too. And one of them did mention "Jalur Lebar" on the sign. I saw them at : sunway tunas, sungai ara (tunas muda), opposite pesta, sunshine, pantai hospital, krystal point and a couple more. Can't remember the rest.
will there be beta testers for penang ppl though unifi alrdy launched? ...hehe

rizvanrp, how do u know all these stuff? ure my new best friends hehe. im on VIP10 package but my connection is not quite stable. when i did speedtest, on diff times of the day sometimes get 7mb/s dl, sometimes 9 and sometimes 8.
just a few question for u rizvanrp, is the username and password for ur unifi email is the same with the one to log in unifi network on the dlink router? i understand they dont allow to change the pass yet as in for now.
and about the stb, i have full hd lcd can support up to 1080, but i cant change the setting>profile on the stb to 16:9 aspect ratio, it seemed to be locked to 4:3 ratio, do u have the same issue?

thanks.
You on FTTH? Mine on VDSL i only get 16-18MBps only... (VIP20). Upload is quite bad.. Only 13-15mbps.. but no complaints lah. Still get consistent 2MBps downloads..
STB - mine is stuck at 16:9 - had to use expanded mode to get 16:9 - then again, its not as good as "native" 16:9. I believe it'll be in the future firmware update.
Speedtest.net is not accurate for Unifi speed testing. This has been confirmed by the bandwidth graph on my dd-wrt Unifi router and the one running on my PC. I'm on FTTH VIP20 and it shows 11-15mbps for KL servers but when I download from my own servers, its 20mbps. You definitely are getting the full 10mbps on your line. Unifi over FTTH practically guarantees full speed (taking into account protocol overhead of course).. If the speed on the IPTV link were to be lower by even 512kbps-1mbps, your Luxe HD channel would experience a lot of streaming issues.
About the email login, the email username is your unifi username @ unifi.my. You have to check your Unifi confirmation slip, it has a table with all the details you need.
As for the STB, it looks like mine is locked at 4:3 too but you should know that each channel is streamed at its own aspect ratio. I use my 24" LCD (1920x1200 res) to watch IPTV and it plays the HD and SD channels fine without any aspect ratio problems. I'd be worried if the Luxe HD channel was squeezed into a 4:3 aspect ratio due to this STB setting but it's not.

In what way? In terms of physical connectivity, Unifi's Ethernet over fiber > Streamyx's ATM link performance already.
not only when i play games, when streaming videos or surfing, i found that my connection not responding (i mean my connection like short term DC like this) but when i switch back to streamyx, i dont encounter it anymore... weird la btw, i rejected IPTV installation offer yesterday. scare of drilling
You happen to be the network engineer who works for P1? Coz when mine was installed the TM guys were telling me about a certain P1 guy in living in Taman Tun who posted photos of his installation on LYN... and AFAIK at that time there's only you and that guy in the other thread.
Speedtest results is not accurate. I can confirm that. I was in damansara perdana testing their connection. Was able to download more then 1GB of data in a very short time. Speedtest showed i was on a 59kbps connection, upload was 8MB.
Speedtest connection test is not reliable and not accurate.
