I think some expert here said that Unify provide a router that is VLAN-ed, normal router won't be able to use unify line unless using the Dlink router.

Did anyone here ever install a PC with 4-5 network cards, dump a linux, configure the VLAN and test the internet?

Hi rizvanrp,

yes, if you were mentioning about the DIR-615, you use back DIR-615 and u enjoy the both IPTV and ur broadband connection and the VOIP services, as i read through all the posts, if you'd flash to DD-WRT, u lost the VOIP & IPTV, this is not what we all want rite?

So in the case of limitation of DIR-615 and DD-WRT, why not we dump a linux box, with extra LAN cards (since PCI lan is cheap!) and setup the VLANs ourself, in linux, everything is configurable.

Thanks rizvanrp. My wife is using Cisco VPN ver 4.8.01.0300 and XP Professional SP3 and like what you said I also think it is the problem with DIR-615 as she has never faced this problem before when she used streamyx at my parents' and also in-laws' house during balik kampung. is there any other setting that I can change in DIR-615 to test ? I already change the wireless mode to B/G only but it doesn't solve the problem.

Will try to use wired connection today to test but she still need to use wireless as her "office" is at upstairs but the router is in the lviing room. if I can confirm the problem is coming from DIR-615 I will complain to Unifi.

Hi there,

I think mostly is your DIR-615 problem,
because cisco vpn is using IPSec, ur router needs to handle the timeout and keepalive for it.

you will not lose VoIP as it is not handled by the DIR-615

Well, this is really a process of elimination so you'd really want to remove all possible variables to ensure that it is infact the DIR-615 G1. One of these variables would be the wireless link, maybe there's a device operating on the same frequency range causing interference at certain intervals.. who knows sad.gif ? Best way would be to use a wired connection to ensure that this disruption is happening at the DIR-615 G1 <-> TM's side.

If possible, log into the DIR-615 G1 and ensure that the LAN to WAN and WAN to LAN firewall are completely disabled. I've seen these settings interfering with IPSEC site-to-site VPNs on Unifibiz setups and even the TM staff couldn't figure it out doh.gif

If this doesn't help, I really doubt TM will be able to help you. Some of their techs aren't aware about how their own hardware works because VLAN tagging is all performed in the background and hidden from the web interface. Not to mention the whole web interface is pretty much locked up and advanced options are kept away from being modified.
These are some of the advanced options available to DIR-615 G1 dd-wrt flashed systems that might help out with your VPN situation.

@eddie_lim

You won't lose VOIP because VOIP is handled by the Fiberhome. You lose IPTV because the firmware I used to reflash the DIR-615 G1 does not completely support the new switch chip and cannot allocate the IPTV port to a separate network interface.. so there's no way to separate IPTV + internet traffic if you enable VLAN 600 on it.

You can use a Linux box with 3 hardware NICs, then have it act as a machine to bridge the VLAN interfaces to physical interfaces (thus removing the VLAN tagging). I'd do this but using a full desktop just to strip VLAN tags is kind of wasteful, would rather just use a VLAN aware switch/router to do it (less power consumption).

I wish TM would have just used no VLAN settings for the PPPoE connectivity, at least everyone would have a choice on what hardware they wish to use. Unifibiz (corporate) users are basically going to get screwed over because they're given the exact same hardware and setup as home users. The only difference is they're allocated 2 static IPs. If their hardware firewalls don't support static PPPoE connectivity over VLAN interfaces, they're going to regret switching over to Unifi.

Hi rizvanrp,
Thanks for explaining, overall cost for running a full desktop PIII box with normal everage load, would be +RM30 per month to TNB.
but the outcome you will see it quite diff, you would have max NAT half sync connection of 65535 without any problem while, i tried WRT54G <-flashed DD-WRT as my router, my streamyx connection will become very bad, even i overclock the WRT54G from 200mhz to 400mhz, the router still load pretty badly with only simple function of DD-WRT features turn on. Maybe because i'm using bittorrent which hogs all the router resources to MAX, because of that, if i am planning to switch to unify, I would like to use back my linux box as my ROUTER as my linux box still the best compare to any router box out there. biggrin.gif and i would not like to loose the IPTV features that provided by TM.

@defari

Haha, like I said.. it's the Unifibiz corporate users who are going to get screwed over here. With a VIP20 line they expect to serve >100 nodes at once, no way this router can handle that connection load easily for a long period of time. Can't even set up VPN links properly since it doesn't handle port forwarding correctly. Stock firmware is pretty crappy, they're better off flashing to DD-WRT since they don't need IPTV support.

Btw, they released new firmware for the dir-615 g1? Any idea where to pick this up?

Yes, if home Unify line can't even support the load, business package like VIP20 sure is a rclxub.gif job
if the authentication for unify is using P-T-P dialup, any linuxbox will easily replace the DLINK 615

rizvanrp, so the connection is using pure PPPoE dialup? the PPPoE interface need to be tag as VLAN ID 500?
unify login is anything like username@unify?

@Sting Ray
if u use bought a local branded notebook with intel chipset, u are not able to scan channel > 11
those channel are not licensed to use in malaysia. but some AP/router still have those channels in their firmware.

those channels are used in japan etc.
