So I guess in other words u are saying indirectly the person who wrote TM firmware are idiots? hehe

I just signed up Unifi today. May be in 2 weeks someone gonna drill my house......

Well I cannot really stand the ping time the streamyx offer. It is really pathetic. Hopefully Unifi is a lot better.

Describe "Bad thing" you experience in the router. I hope u dont mean the "bad" router adding significant ping time, as i do not see this often happen.

The ping time I mentioning here is oversea.

Ok puts the router problem aside. Still waiting from the Technician to come tho. But I still cannot figure out how they gonna lay the fiber cable to my second floor. (concrete ceiling somemore)I am on 3 storey house. So it can be really hard There is no back street behind my house it is a neighbor area, still wondering where they gonna lay cables coming from. There is no poles around my area too. all telephone lines are underground. *cough I got a feeling that I need a couple of homeplug really soon.


Just curious where u guys put ur BTU, routers? Right infront of Living room?

And then there are 6 phone sockets in my houses. I guess it is pretty much become useless after I install Unifi and cancel regular phone line?

is that ugly thing sit infront of your house. Unique for each house?

I just did a search, there is no green dustbin in my street. How they lay cables to your second floor? Cables climb the wall and Drill a hole on the wall behind your house? *usually most house have a small back Jalan(*street) behind them but in my case I dont have any street. Behind me is my neighbor lol

This is soo "lucky", when you finally know that ur non-modem Router finally become useful.

I found my non modem Router, but does not have wireless, then I found another wireless non-modem router, but I couldnt find the Adapter

Well still couldnt find my adapter for my wireless router. But I do have another router without wireless.

Possible to do something like this?


BTU
|
|
DIR-615(as wireless AP) <-...wireless connections....-> multiple notebooks.

.......

.......

|.......L--> STB
|
|
L---RJ45/home plug-> Custom Router <--> PC.

So whats ur best suggestion? my Unifi havent come yet... but I know that.


I might have my BTU @ Location A

then All my Desktops @ Location B

then all my notebooks @ everywhere else.

EDIT: My Desktops are dealing with online Forex where ping time is extremely sensitive.

Damn... where the heck is my Adapter when I really need it.....


oh well, anyway thanks for tips, looks like I gonna use the Homeplug to connect my router to my BTU+DIR-615

yeah more guide would be better.

Just found my Adapter for my wifi router. (finally.... Jeez)


btw, Can we use custom router directly to BTU as a backup router in the event of the DIR-615 burn? (just internet only, no IPTV) Anybody tried that b4?

Did u install @ Commercial area or Residential? Because I did asked them to offer me BIZ5 to my house despite saying I have company name to register, but they rejected it saying requirement is commercial address.

Damn that woman from TMpoint Kepong say no.

But then I applied the VIP5 package, kinda too late now...

Well yeah... not that I would bother with the "unlimited" tag from BIZ 5 package, but more like I am thinking BIZ5 package would come with better IP range, bandwidth allocation in the event of SWS4 goes down, which is rather common.

Which TMpoint is that, that allows you to applied BIZ5?

You know I am rather worry with the DIR-615 issue after seeing so many guys here having problems.
Tmnut can offer lifetime warranty for lease equipment like BTU, but DIR-615 is 1 year only under a 2 year Unifi contract. In other words every single one of us will get rip off by Tmnet after 1 year if our router fail.

The retail DIR-615 is about RM130-RM140. I highly doubt Tmnut gonna sell us @ that price.

Would be nice to have a guide for custom router to access Internet only, in the event of DIR-615 Fails.

I really cannot bare with being disconnected from net.

Eh brother, must be strictly dd-wrt router? Flashing router void warranty. not something i want do to for now.

Well btw guys, I just asked my friend who is using the retail DIR-615 he bought from shop. It seems to be rather decent router. Pretty much a complete opposite of Tmnut unifi DIR-615 that everyone else is experiencing now.

it is either Tmnet get the reject stocks of DIR-615 from D-link or their firmware screw up the router.

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.

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

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.
