my unifi at ttdi area down since last thursday!!! >.< anyone else with the same prob?

I'm under TTDI but mines running well. It's been running fine without any downtime since April actually, lol. Is your VOIP phone or IPTV working?

Bro even when I changed my WAN Port Assignment to vlan1.500 (I'm using Linksys WRT54GS v4.0) still the same I cant seem to connect to unifi.

When i telnet to the DDWRT's console I can see that the TX of vlan1.500 got activity but there is nothing on the RX. Meaning it cant seem to detect the tagged traffic.

this is my VLAN configuration for port assignment. (vlan0 = LAN, vlan1 = WAN, vlan2 = IPTV)

nvram set vlan0ports="0 1 4 5*"
nvram set vlan1ports="3 5"
nvram set vlan2ports="2 5"
nvram set port0vlans="0 18 19"
nvram set port1vlans="0 18 19"
nvram set port2vlans="2 18 19"
nvram set port3vlans="1 18 19"
nvram set port4vlans="0 18 19"
nvram set vlan2hwname=vlan2
nvram commit
reboot

btw, do i need to enable tagging on my WAN port?

nvram set vlan1ports="3 5" to nvram set vlan1ports="3t 5"

the customer support say some configuration at their network "lari" need reconfigure the whole thing :s anyone being connected to that device kena lo... OMG! but how come reconfigure need 4 days!!!!

Hey babybee, I can't be 100% certain what's going on with your unit unless I take a packet capture of the traffic between the BTU <---> Linksys. However, based on what you're telling me it seems the case is either :

1. Your Linksys is sending out untagged traffic on vlan1 despite you setting the WAN port assignment (hence no response)
2. You've selected the wrong port, vlan1 is not your WAN port and tagged traffic is being sent out on something which is not connected to the BTU

The reason I say this is because should the BTU side have received any vlan 500 tagged traffic at all, you would have received at least a single ethernet frame (couple o' bytes) as an acknowledgment to your initial PPPoE broadcast.

Perhaps you can try creating a bridge (br0) and adding all three vlans in (vlan0,vlan1,vlan2).. then set VLAN tag 500 on br0. After that, use br0.500 as your WAN port assignment and see if it can dial in? I would also try to eliminate the possible problems here so its best that while you're attempting to get PPPoE running.. don't set any port based vlans.

yup its confirmed that vlan1 is my WAN. because when i set back my WAN port assignment to vlan1 not vlan1.500 it will dial up perfectly.... but if i use vlan1 i have to use the DIR615 as the vlan switch. but if i use the vlan1.500 and plug in directly to the BTU it wont work.

will try the bridging method and see, but i dont see how creating a br2.500 will work...

Did anyone have a list of modem that had been verify that it is working for Unifi?

modem or routers?

Another LYNer here who uses dd-wrt with Unifi (rogue I think) set his WAN port to a bridge interface to get it to work so I'm guessing it can connect through that (as long as all your interfaces are in the same bridge). A while ago when I was writing my Unifi VLAN forwarder, I basically had to analyze PPPoE auth packet captures for 4 hours straight because my application had to rewrite source/dest MAC addresses as well as add a 4 byte VLAN tag after those MACs.. I pretty much know how the BTU will respond to spoofed PPPoE packets so based on that knowledge I'm making those two guesses above.

But yeah, I can't be sure of anything until I see an actual packet capture. Hacked hardware like dd-wrt does not always function the way we assume it does :/

If you send a valid PPPoE discovery request but it has no VLAN tag on it, the BTU will ignore it. If you send a valid PPPoE discovery request with a VLAN tag, you will get an acknowledgment from the BTU side. If you send a PPPoE discovery request with the VLAN tag but with an invalid source MAC address, you will get an ack but your session will not progress from there

I'm under ttdi exchange and it's working. Only problem is my speed is uncapped. Not stable though, can barely sustain the speed.

i will to use a TAP device and perform a packet capture between the BTU and the DDWRT router later at night...

will pass you the results once i obtain it...

@rizzy
Actually how the VLAN tagging interface looks like, just found that my modem also have the function, I dun have unifi but just to help people, but I can see TM are planting the cable in my area

W'okay but its easier to use an old hub (which mirrors traffic to each port) or a managed switch with port mirroring If you're using *pcap based software like Wireshark, you must also perform the capture in Linux because Windows NIC drivers which don't support VLAN tags (nearly all realtek cards) will automatically strip off VLAN tags from your capture so you won't know what's really going on.

Added on August 9, 2010, 11:18 amThis is an ADSL2 modem+router combination right? I'm just guessing because it has ATM VC based PVIDs

Edit : doh, just saw the ADSL thing up there haha

This can only be used with DSL providers which send certain services over VLANs.. can't be used with Unifi.

This is a all in one router... ADSL, Wifi + Ethernet router

We all currently using the crapy DIR-615 modem.... its suck.
I am wondering is there a list of alternative replace ment for DIR-615.

old hub xda la... donated mine a very long time ago... i will be using backtrack to capture the traffic...

Its only for ADSL based services AFAIK. Like a service provider will be able to do what Unifi does (separate VOIP/Internet/Video) but within an ATM link instead. A VLAN tag is just a 4 byte array of data anyway.. although to you guys it's probably the most annoying 4 byte string since it prevents you from using your own hardware with Unifi

Backtrack will be fine

is the asus rt-n16 a broadcom chipset also? i need to upgrade my WRT54GS soon... its quite aged... haha...

i got my UniFi this morning. Speed test result.




I run speed test again.
