Thank you again for your interest in UniFi.

My gf lives in the affluent Bukit Damansara and that green box is right in front of her house; and unifi is not yet available. Upon browsing the area, one can see that the cables are still being deployed.

Even if you see the fibre distribution points around your area, it does not guarantee service availability, this is what unifi cs told me.
BTW, I don't think has anything to do with VIPS living in the area or such.

my place flora damansara got unifi already...

haha..come come..

It's ultimately up to the upper management. Installers are users too.. they don't want the cap either and no ones really sure about what TM intends to cap it at.

I'm staying near georgetown area too, and i find it hard to believe that as a central city in penang it was not selected for unifi....
well i guess it's probably due to the cable laying problem 

rm149 is it whole package for VIP 5? Do i need to pay phone rental etc?

Iphone? really? or do you mean IP Phone?

If it has VLAN tagging support, yeap. But I can't guarantee anything, another LYN-er tried it with a dd-wrt flashed buffalo router and it doesn't seem to be working properly. I'm not sure if he was on VDSL Unifi or Fiberhome though..
Haha, I didn't test it out till today.. I had a spare quad core c2d rig around with 8gb of RAM in it. Hooked up 2 additional NICs (3 in total), tried pfSense on it and the Internet worked fine.. but the IPTV didn't work at all.. I think pfSense blocks multicasts and I'm not too familiar with FreeBSD to fix the problem.

So 'bout an hour ago, I reformatted the system and installed ubuntu server 10.04. System boots in 5-8 seconds and connects the PPPoE link in another 3-5.. brings my home network online from cold boot in <15 seconds. Services and iptables all configured manually from the shell using a script.

Had some issues with the IPTV VLAN <-> physical NIC bridge. If you don't set the IPTV VLAN priority > Internet VLAN priority.. the IPTV stream gets completely screwed up which is funny because I didn't notice any priority bits in my earlier packet captures.

Anyway, everything is working perfectly now. If you ever need a quad core Unifi router with a 1,000,000 connection sized state table + IPTV support.. rest assured you can build one from scratch

Furthermore, I'm just guessing here but I think TM has implemented MAC address filtering for their DHCP server on the IPTV VLAN. Their DHCP server will not acknowledge requests from non-set top box vendors. This means you can't hook up your laptops to view the streams anymore with my playlist unless you spoof the MAC address. Could probably set up a DHCP relay server with a spoofed MAC or something but I really don't care about the IPTV network much anymore.. I'm sick of TM reading what I post here and making changes without even giving any acknowledgment.

Gah this is ridiculous, TM called to say they can't find my house in their system. /facepalm.jpg

Changes that have 0 effect on the quality of their service but discourage power users from straying away from using their crap hardware.. therefore putting those users at a disadvantage.

y unifi don make a guide or giving information to public that wish to use their own hardware? DIR615 is more than enough for many users but still some users who own a better router than DIR615, y unifi wanna "force" us to use their dlink? what is their purpose? im not understand

But, more significantly, the 615 could reliably sustain only 32 connections in the maximum simultaneous connections test. Ubicom questioned these results when they first posted in the charts and said its tests (also done with IxChariot) produced results more like the 625's. D-Link had no comment on the results.

With all due respect to the writer of this review, I feel I must disagree with their assessment of this router.

While cheap, in use this router reveals exactly why it does not cost much: the hardware is extremely weak, only supporting 32 simultaneous connections, with many other N routers supporting in excess of 200. This means that this router is extremely weak with regards to peer-to-peer technologies such as BitTorrent.

I have also found this router will crash if you keep it at that 32 connection limit for long enough.

It may be fine if you have a smaller connection (I have 50Mbit) or don't use peer-to-peer technology, but otherwise I would recommend getting a better router.

dear all,

any unifi users here? I just got the unifi installed in my house here is sect 9 shah alam. VIP 5

I felt that it is faster than streamyx abit only.....I dont felt like really 5mbps.

anyone mind to share? i m planning to upgrade to VIP 10. got differences ma?
thx

Help! My Internet still does not work!

A problem for which there is no single common fix. Understanding some basics about networking, subnets, NAT, etc. would be in your best interest to troubleshoot this issue. You may need to call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for settings that are particular to your connection. Some ISPs not using PPPoE expect the MAC address (hardware address) of to router to match that of your computer, especially when you used your computer without the router to setup everything initially. You may need to use the "Clone MAC Address" feature. If using PPPoE, make sure you use the correct username and password. For cable and satellite users, generally DHCP is the correct setting. For Comcast Cable users, be sure to disable STP. For users trying to share a dial-up connection, you'll need to read the Wiki article Sharing Dialup. At any rate, it's a near 99% chance that the problem is not your DD-WRT firmware, but instead a lack of understanding with networking.

Yeah, my Unifi Dlink router got fried also. I just got free replacement yesterday. The Unifi people said mayb the router get too HOT. (But its 24 hours in the aircond room, I just wonder why, maybe the quality not vy good).

You can wire a single NIC into a layer 2 switch

run the Internet VLAN + your home LAN (192.168.x.x/24) over it

Haha, Yeah Moogle, Rizvanrp is Networking Guru here. He helped me a lot. I am interested to know too.

pfSense is a FreeBSD-based firewall tailored for use as a firewall and router. The project started in 2004 as a fork of the m0n0wall  project, but focused towards full PC installations rather than the embedded hardware focus of m0n0wall.

Common Deployments

Although mainly deployed as a perimeter firewall, pfSense is versatile enough to fill many types of deployments. Here is a short list of common deployments:

    * Perimeter Firewall - As discused earlier, this is by far the most common deployment for pfSense.
    * Router - Due to the ability to load balance connections and provide failover capabilities, pfSense makes for an ideal choice for a DIY Router for the SMB market.
    * Wireless Access Point - With the ability of Captive Portal within it, pfSense can easily be deployed as a wireless hotspot solution.
    * Special purpose appliance - Some users have decided to utilize pfSense in a unique way to help fulfill their unique needs.
          o VPN Appliance
          o Sniffer Appliance
          o Dedicated DHCP server
          o Dedicated DNS server


Features

pfSense includes almost all the features of expensive commercial firewalls, and more in many cases. Here is a list of features taken from the pfSense Features page.

    * Firewall
    * State Table
    * NAT
    * Redundancy
          o CARP - CARP from OpenBSD allows for hardware failover. Two or more firewalls can be configured as a failover group. If one interface fails on the primary or the primary goes offline entirely, the secondary becomes active. pfSense also includes configuration synchronization capabilities, so you make your configuration changes on the primary and they automatically synchronize to the secondary firewall.
          o pfsync - pfsync ensures the firewall's state table is replicated to all failover configured firewalls. This means your existing connections will be maintained in the case of failure, which is important to prevent network disruptions.
    * Outbound and Inbound Load Balancing
    * VPN - IPsec, OpenVPN, PPTP
    * PPPoE Server
    * RRD Graphs Reporting
    * Real Time Information - Using AJAX
    * Dynamic DNS
    * Captive portal
    * DHCP Server and Relay
    * Live CD Version Available


Minimum Hardware Requirements

The following outlines the minimum hardware requirements for pfSense 1.2. Note the minimum requirements are not suitable for all environments, see the Hardware Sizing Guidance page for information.

CPU - 100 MHz Pentium
RAM - 128 MB

Most important part of the new setup will be to turn off all the routing features on the Linksys router.  You need it to be in AP only mode.  You can still use it as your switch, but I would suggest getting a gigabit switch.  Either way, never plug anything into the WAN port of the Linksys box.  pfSense will now act as your DHCP and caching DNS server, so if you have any special configs on the Linksys be sure to program them into your pfSense.  Same goes for port forwarding, etc.  The only thing the Linksys will do from now on will be to act as an Access Point.

Install pfsense with LAN and WAN, just follow the onscreen instructions.  Make sure you can access the net from a normal PC client on the LAN.  If it works, then hook up your AdTran switch.  Hopefully at this point all the PCs will have internet.  Now try the wireless, you should get an IP from your new DHCP range on the pfSense.

THANKS Rizvanrp. You are really networking Guru.

I can smile like never before now. Hehe. Your work was funtastic.        , will throw my ciplang Dlink DIR 615 :-P

If you have more than one device on your network, you probably have a switch. A switch is a simple device that operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, forwarding data frames from one device to another based on their hardware or MAC (Media Access Control) address. The basic Layer 2 switch does not care or know about IP addresses, which operate at Layer 3.

Your switch may be a few ports built into your router, it may be a small unmanaged (non-configurable) switch such as the D-Link DGS-2205

An unmanaged switch  can support VLAN  tagging to do prioritization but it doesn't support  dividing ports on separate VLANs.

Any trunking protocol supposes that switches on both sides are aware of it and run it.

The DGS-2205 and DGS-1005D are the same unit, they just have different color housing and different model numbers.

The board and chipset are the same in both units.

Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports recognition. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts itself for optimal performance. 

Well, I really shouldn't have said 'layer 2' switch because all switches are layer 2 switches and now you're confused ._.

5 port 10/100mbps switches only cost around RM40+ and its good enough for the job. If you have an old router with 4 LAN ports around the place, you can even use that. Basically you just need a switch, nothing special.
Yesh, that's how it works. The internet traffic from the fiberhome <-> switch <-> router PC is all on VLAN 500 so it doesn't affect any non-VLAN traffic.

And the bug with the Buffalo is probably unique to that particular dd-wrt firmware which is running on it. It's just an iptables issue so you have to set a script to flush the FORWARD-ing table. Not sure about using Tomato, never tried it before Still, the Buffalo doesn't have port based VLAN tagging either which means you can't set up IPTV on it.

1000 Mbps = 125.00 MB/s theoretical max speed.

100 Mbps = 12.50 MB/s theoretical max speed.

That's double NAT'ing...YUCK! The inside network suffers performance, some online apps can get quirky...plus the inside network can actually find and browse the outside network. Not visa versa though.

Port Based VLANs are wicked easy.
Take your router...plug it into port 1 on your managed switch.
Take Network A...and plug them into..say....ports 2-8. Make ports 2-8 members of VLAN1..and also make port 1 a member.
Take Network B..and plug them into say..ports 9-15..and make them VLAN2...also adding port 1 as a member of this VLAN.

Done. Network A computers cannot see Network B computers..and Network B computers cannot see Network A computers. They both share access to the router via port 1.

Todays managed switches are just as easy to log into and configure as your regular old Linksys router...through a web management interface.

@rizvan nvr realize u got elite tag 
congrats!
