Depends on what u want to do with your internet. Mean while u could try go for 4MB streamyx at the cost of rm140 and still keep your landline number, no drilling more simple then unifi setup.

U get unlimited download but throttled on downloading certain things. It will be like this and TM will come up with new ways of doing it as they give u unlimited cap.
Upload speed is limited to 512
Simple setup mean u can easily use your own router. TM give their ADSL router as well but didnt hear much problems with it.

Unifi on the other hand
Currently unlimited in future some sorta limitation will be put no1 know what yet.
Ping is very excellent 7MS good for gaming, skype
Upload + Down is same speed so 5 Mb both directions
very poor CS if u get problems with this unifi. U get plenty of headache trying to get them to do something.  If all is fine u should be ok

One last thing u can go for 4MB streamyx and switch over to unifi when u feel like as its considered an upgrade so u are not tired to any contract. BUT not the other way round or downgrade back to streamyx.
*
you are referring to the blockbuster deal right? i'm currently using 1mb. so i need to upgrade to 4mb. i believe the contract is 2 years right? can i upgrade to unifi later during these 2 years?

Guide as requested,

Any other questions kindly drop me a PM.

Also I will not be held responsible for any hardware problems in which would occur if somehow you screw up on the steps. So please at least have some knowledge on how to configure your personal router before hand.

Or just read the manual of the devices before proceed with this guide.

Good luck have fun tongue.gif

Thanks for the tips pr0di9y, so the IPTV still cannot connect directly to the Huawei BTU?

Hi klseet,

I am trying to flash my WHR-G300N right now but I'm failing miserably (sorry I'm such a noob). Followed the flashing instruction on http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WHR-G300N and it seems that the TFTP I used installed the firmware (do I use the file labeled firmware or webflash? In my installation I used the file labeled firmware and renamed it to firmware.ram as per instruction) but after that when I tried accessing 192.168.1.1 it could not connect. When I accessed the default Buffalo's admin panel at 192.168.11.1 I still can access it. What did I do wrong?

Thanks for any advice!

I didn't have to use tftp, just use the buffalo interface to upload firmware, works for me.

If you get the WHR-HP-G300N [Atheros], there is way to flash-back even to the original firmware.
Buffalo also has it's own version of dd-wrt for this model [I believe it's from BrainSlayer also], but I would still recommend the BS's latest built.
If I'm not mistaken, DIR-615 from TM is G1 model running on it's own firmware for TM's UniFi.
Those retail outside I think it's D1, D2 model.
Not sure whether the same or not, but I think might be different, otherwise TM no "special deal" with D-Link to provide UniFi customer "exclusively" liao .... wink.gif

Well at least mine isnt dd-wrt for now. Just hope the 615 I am getting is the one behave as it should be biggrin.gif

Nope, I tried it today. Cannot make it to work.

@ Jarod

If you are worried about the DIR-615 router breaking down on use not even a week or so, then you can actually be prepared or get ready the other routers to replace it. If not just use the DIR-615 as the VLAN tagging gateway and use your other routers to bridge onto it. Other than that you shouldn't worry so much on the DIR-615 from TM.

Also, remember this. Don't fix what is not broken. Unless you know what you are doing then by all means go ahead with those FW upgrades from those open sources. If not just stick with the one you're using right now and pray hard that it won't break down on you for the DIR-615. Or maybe you can get those same DIR-615 available on the market and try to use the TM special FW on it lulz...

May I know which "firmware" file are you using to flash directly from Buffalo interface?
So far I haven't found any file which allow me to flash directly on WHR-G300N, currently I'm using the TFTP method [tftp2.exe], quite tedious though .... sweat.gif
Appreciate if you could share where to get this file, thanks in advance! notworthy.gif

Hmmm, sound like no luck to connect IPTV directly to Huawei liao ...
Btw, may I know where to get the TM special FW file?
Might consider getting a market DIR-615 to test ....


This afternoon, I just saw a team of 3 from TM bring another new DIR-615 to replace for my neighbour --> his UniFi just installed 1 day earlier than me!! blink.gif shocking.gif
And mine got replaced 2 days ago ....shocking.gif
This DIR-615 from TM really tak boleh pakai loh..... doh.gif

Lol is available to download from riz's website, if you do decide to try it out. I suggest you use the factory fw upgrade method which the steps are also available at riz's website.

I think this DIR-615 H/W G1 WiFi tak boleh pakai lol...

My DIR-615 has been working fine for 4 days when I am using it as vlan bridging. So I think if anyone use DIR-615 as vlan bridging, it won't break that easilly.

Thanks to pr0di9y's guide, I now can connect my Asus RT-N16 router directly to the Hwawei BTU.

Next will be on how to do the IPTV VLAN 600 tag...

When the TM ppl left my home right after they completed the installation, I immediately setup the DIR-615 [as per Rivanrp] since day1:
1. as bridging mode only
2. turn-off the wifi
3. use AVR power supply
4. put on top of a cabinet with clear air-ventilation + notebook fan blowing on it

Still, the WAN port died [others all still ok] on the 10th day...... rclxub.gif
Hopefully yours will last longer .... sweat.gif

Any alternative hardware to replace DIR-615 since it's so fragile and not durable.

Thats what many of us been finding out, it seems the only drawbacks is the STB isnt gonna work with regular custom router you bought from IT shop.

Yup a contract of a certain time period with TM means that u cannot totally run away from them during that period of 1 or 2 years. does not mean u have to stay on that all e.g. 4MB all the time and u are able to upgrade to unifi anytime.

Agree with what Calvin said.

If it wasnt my area didnt support Streamyx 4mbps, I would not even consider Unifi for the hussle of drilling especially my house is a 3 storey ones. But then given the ping advantages the Unifi has, I would still be "ok" with the cap they implement in later stage as long as they keep the ping rate quality @ 1st class category.

atm it would seems to me the streamyx is a more matured service until they sorted out the problems in Unifi user is having now.
*
Yup Streamyx 4MB give users a special IP addrress range which other lower package streamyx will not get. this IP is better and fast then those other IP and get better speed to international sites. Just like unifi also another special range of IP. i think is because of your IP range they give u which makes the difference in ping time not the actual technology just because its fiber better then copper but not too sure on that some1 correct me if u think otherwise. in the UK i use ADSL 2+ 20Mb speed getting 17Mb and ping is around 20 in comparison to streamyx with 90 ping
