Could you be more specific please ._.? Fixed the DIR-615 as in.. installed it or repaired it? File sharing.. from where to where.. what protocol? Whats your network setup? PS3 using wireless or wired? Whats a ps4? You have two PCs now?

I haven't had much issues on the internal LAN with the DIR-615 before.. except the occasional wired network being unable to connect to anything on the wireless side.

@moogle

TM applies DNS blackhole-ing on certain political and *ahem* websites on their own DNS servers.. as in the site will resolve to 127.0.0.1 if you use their DNS. I used to use OpenDNS but I switched to Google DNS because its faster (5ms latency > 250ms) and doesn't have those annoying ads when you mistype a URL.

TM's DNS server is also rather unstable at times for some reason..

@kengsim

Are we really going back to this security through obscurity stage again? If you don't put it out in the open, TM isn't going to fix it. If they've started 'fixing' their DIR-615's, it's nothing a re-flash can't settle. It's best to have a secure and open system than this whole "I know but I can't tell you" bullshit TM is pushing on us. Might as well lock this thread + delete all the info since after people have benefited from it, they don't want to share their own knowledge with the community.

@kengsim

First of all, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm not the 'boss' of this thread, I'm just here to help as many people as I can.

However, I believe you're wrong to assume that they can simply just push new firmware onto your DIR-615 to lock you out. It's simply not possible if you've secured your DIR-615 properly. The info you sent me is also not standardized. There's a reason I haven't told anyone and it's not because I fear they'll lock us out.. it's because every technician who does the install has his own method of setting up the username/password combination for both those accounts. For some people, they might follow your install method and for others they don't even bother to change it. That's why I recommended that people ask TM about this user/pass combination because it will be written down on the install slip when they're done. It's more of a personal install method based on who your technician is rather than a new method they're trying to lock people out.

You should know that hitting the reset button on the router resets the firmware back to its default password. Nobody can be locked out simply because TM chooses to do so. If that was the case, they would have already changed the password remotely for every user affected by their remote management issue.. which they have not. Even if they hardcode the username/password into a new firmware, its re-flashable to the current 7.05.

Anyway, it's not the lack of information that's pissing me off.. it's the attitude that you cant say something in public because you fear TM will do something about it.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/867524

Look at this thread, when I posted the information on the new UTP protocol back in 2008 I got flamed to heck because some people said TM will patch it.. they never did and it works till today. Yet, these people were not afraid to use the information I posted to their own benefit.

Frankly, I'm done with Unifi. There's nothing much for me to do and the only reason I'm here is to help people, mainly new users. If people get new Unifi installs in July+ and TM has upgraded their firmware to 7.06+ or are using a new router, don't expect any knowledgeable person who already has Unifi installed to be able to help them out .. because nobody is willing to share any information in the event that 'TM fixes it'.

To me, they've already won because people are so afraid to be locked out of their own hardware again that the flow of updated information to people who CAN unlock it has been completely stopped. You're forgetting that it was because users shared this information on how to 'unlock' your router in the first place that you are aware of the gaping security holes in your TM DIR-615 and are able to use your own hardware with the service.

@moogle

Nope

@kengsim

Thanks for posting that . Here's the deal @ the technical level though, once you've secured your router.. I don't believe there is any secondary application running on the DIR-615 that is able to perform a remote reconfiguration of your router. I have seen their install notes and it doesn't seem to include changing the 'operator' account details, so I'm guessing this is just something they've been told to do by their superiors or other technicians recently (like, after the articles hit the newspapers).

Some use the username backwards, some use 'unifi' spelled backwards.. it's really up to them. Bottom line is as long as it's firmware 7.05, the reset button will reset these to their default values.

They won't be able to change your settings remotely if you've followed the security guide but my main fear is what's going to happen 6-12-24 months down the line. In the event that your DIR-615 fails and you need a replacement, what are you going to do? If you pick up their new hardware and it's fully locked down without any information on the Internet, you're pretty much screwed if you're the average user.

If people are not made aware of what TM is doing, nobody will be able to help each other. In the end, everyone loses and TM wins. If TM wants to take this path.. there's always going to be a new technical challenge and we'll just have to face that. It's really counterproductive to just sit here and hope that TM will not lock down their routers in the future.

I don't even have TR-069 running.. using a custom router at the moment. Been this way for over a month now

EDIT: They should just give the whole locking-the-user out thing a bloody rest. Even if people opt to use their own hardware, most of them will use the DIR-615 as a VLAN bridge. TM's happy, dlink's happy, user's happy.

You get a 2GB email account with a different pass than the PPPoE.. then there's the 5 digit 'password' for the VOIP line, might be the voice mailbox or something. Have to call them and ask for it if they didn't give you the install slip

@moogle

Probably yeah, I don't bother using their email anyway.. have my own domain + gmail account which is 10x bettar.

Anyway, I doubt TM is ever going to be able to lock us out again. Finally got around to hooking up my RS232<->TTL converter board, and yes.. those are recycled SIL connectors from old PC cases

Ha ha ha

@hpteh

Seeing as they won't even release those details to some customers, I doubt it's changeable at the moment

@vickyrao

First of all, unplug the WAN cable from the TM DIR-615 and make sure your network has no internet connectivity. Then disable all the firewalls on the TM DIR-615 through the web UI (http://192.168.0.1 -- un-tick everything in the firewall section) and disable the Windows 7 firewalls (turn it off completely).. then test the connectivity between your PCs and PS3.

If its still not working, use your own DIR-615 and see if it works. If it does, then the TM DIR-615 is the issue lar

Make sure you turn on the Win 7 firewalls after you're finished testing.


@Neptern

@moogle

homeprug may not work cause of IPTV quality issues, and that speedtest server seems to be capped at 5mbps tops

@cannavaro & andydemarco

Google DNS unblocks most sites but some have a HTTP level filter on them (totally drops all HTTP traffic), need to use an SSH SOCKS proxy/VPN for that as even a http proxy will not work

DC++ HUB WHEN ?!

@scirwode

Everything you need to accomplish that is on - http://unifi.athena.my

Apple airport's and most home routers don't support VLAN tagging on their firmware by default.. so you'll need to either buy a managed VLAN switch or use the DIR-615 as a VLAN-physical port bridge. TM will not help you with this.

You could probably set this up in 5 minutes though

@mewgle

Check the wireless settings on the PC.. make sure its not attempting to use the same key or something after you've changed it on the router. Never had this issue before. Try changing the wifi network SSID too after you change the key perhaps?

Uh, whats the dir-655 plugged into besides PC B? If it's not plugged into anything and you want it to connect to the DIR-615 wifi network, it has to have dd-wrt + set on wifi client mode + placed on a different subnet than 192.168.0.0/24. Complicated setup brah.. just get a wifi adapter for PC B or something.

@andydemarco

I think its after 30th July? You can only cancel your streamyx then.. they won't let you terminate it now cause you'll be getting free internet access..

Not repeater mode, client mode

@soul

What's your IP? Some of you think that because speedtest.net chose Indonesia as your closest server, that you have an Indonesian IP. That's not true.

Get you IP from whatismyip.com/org and check it against the apnic.net database.

inetnum: 110.159.0.0 - 110.159.255.255
netname: ADSLSTREAMYX
descr: CORE IP DEVELOPMENT,
descr: TELEKOM MALAYSIA BERHAD
country: MY
admin-c: SM135-AP
tech-c: EAK2-AP
status: ALLOCATED PORTABLE

As far as I know, all Unifi users so far have been put on 110.159.x.x and this entire range is a Malaysian IP range. But some sites think that Indonesia/East Malaysia is closer to this range so they select Indo as your speedtest server.. no **** your speedtest will be slow.

And yes, the Indo server (PT Telekomunikasi) which it defaults to (yellow star) has terrible connectivity.




These are my own Unifi speedtests.. as you can see its the ISP field which matters because it tells you what ISP/IP range you're on. The server field is what server you're running the speed test against. When I change between MY/Indo server, the 'server' field changes but the ISP field remains the same.

Don't simply make reports if you don't understand what you're looking at, lol

This is an issue with the GeoIP database speedtest is using, not your line. There's nothing to fix here :/

@soul

Read my V4 post about speedtest accuracy for Unifi :3

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=33261734

@sting

As in, when you attempt to connect to some sites.. the DNS resolves the correct IP and all but the site returns no data, just a blank page. Can either be a block by TM or by the site operator. But I think I've tested it with a HTTP proxy before (can't really remember) and it has the same results, which leads me to believe its a local HTTP filter done by the ISP.

@soul

Like I said, the GeoIP database is screwed up ._.

And if you read my post I linked earlier, it was to show that speedtest.net isn't that accurate. If you want to test your lines max capacity, multiple connections such as those made by bittorrent will do the trick and max your line out for you.

Speedtest.. not really. I can't pull over 6mbps on it with my VIP20 connection but I get 20mbps easily using torrents/multi-threaded HTTP downloads.

EDIT: I think my keyboards 'R' key is spoilt

Streaming uses a lot of bandwidth you know

Same ):

I think its the maintenance thing they mentioned?

Pretty much anytime they feel like releasing a 100mbps package? :/
