Hi klseet,

I will answer ur question number 3:

Yes. It is possible to attach the DIR-615 to AP router, and IPTV to Repeater Router. I have done this setting by using 2 DD-WRT installed router (WRT54G).

My Setup:

DIR-615 ->WRT54G (AP) -> WRT54G (Repeater Bridge) ->IPTV

Okay guys, I've spent the last 2 hours doing this ._.

And I have *very* good news

Not only can you run Unifi through your DD-WRT router, you can run DD-WRT on the TMnet DIR-615 G1 router. After looking at some FCC documentation, I realized the chipset (CPU, RAM, FLASH) were exactly identical to the D-Link DIR-615 D1. I took the plunge and reflashed the TM router and YEAHHH I spent over an hour getting the DDWRT PPPoE daemon to connect over VLAN ID 500. I know how to do this however I'm still testing the stability and VLAN support.. so no guide yet (I don't want you to screw up your router). If this is going to be used by other Unifi users, IPTV has to work flawlessly with the dd-wrt firmware.

Will continue my testing later

UPDATE @ 2.00AM : This is f**king sweet

UPDATE @ 2.06AM : MRTG graphs, full Linux console, SSHd and telnet support, bandwidth graphs, full control over connection limits, system load and status information.. AHHHH Unifi 20mbps + DD-WRT on TM DIR-615 G1 == *orgasmic*

it is impossible for dd-wrt to make it work at the same time for both the internet and iptv?

IMO experience, the Buffalo series routers have some issues when running with PPPoE over VLANs while running on dd-wrt. You may experience connection drops or websites not loading.. there's a script to fix that though.

It should work fine for internet connectivity but as for IPTV.. it requires the Port based VLAN page to be fully accessible. I think Linksys dd-wrt flashed routers may fully support this but I was never able to get it to work properly on a DIR-615 dd-wrt flashed router since this function did not work properly. Try it out when you get Unifi, it may work

It's to perform the VLAN tagging/untagging so you can replace the DIR-615 and still have IPTV + Internet access. No need to rely on TM hardware

...Anyway, how about using your own wireless router if TMNet's suck? I recommend WR1043ND by TP-Link. ..3rd party flashable, either to OpenWRT or DD-WRT (I prefer OpenWRT though)
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd
Heck, the one given by TMNet is DIR-615? That's not too bad! rizvanrp, can you tell me what hardware revision it is?
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-615
RaLink not supported for OpenWRT, and I like openWRT better than DD-WRT. More customization possible, although there's simply no help file and you will have to somewhat live with ssh, winscp, putty, etc to a certain extent. The web interface exists of course.

..so when Unifi Come to Perak?!?

@klseet:-
The reason why I'm asking regarding DIR-615's hardware revision is because not all hardware revision is supported by OpenWRT. Just because it works with dd-wrt, doesn't mean it works with openwrt. Check the links I gave you, it tells you which revisions are supported by OpenWRT.

OpenWRT might support IPTV, who knows. Just ask the openwrt.org forums, or take a look at all the available software that you can add to openwrt.

What I can say about OpenWRT is, it is very, very modular. I can install, uninstall softwares to add functionality that other users add (like multi-wan) with just typing a single line into the console and reboot, etc. In case you run out of space, or ram, you can also just setup swap space and also make the router install it to your external.
In fact, OpenWRT is so much better at setting up swap space and setting up a network storage . Hell, you can even set up a BITTORRENT CLIENT, right into the router itself. Then connect a network fileshare, or connect it to your external hard disk. There's just so many things possible with OpenWRT, I can't possibly list them all. My next plan is probably a http server on the router. I need to set up some leet routing so that I can access my internal torrent page by port 80. I can't really do much about the bittorrent client, I don't have an external right now. The best way to torrent with OpenWRT is with a NAS attached to it.

A few things I have on my OpenWRT and WR1043ND (no router can compete this baby in terms of best bang for buck. It's so great that I just have to spread the word. What a waste for this router to not be known):-

USB thumbdrive
Wireless Client (router acts as a client for wireless bridging. Good for stealing someone's line and share it for everyone to hoarde, especially with the hardware's powerful antennae. Oops. Currently not enabled. I used it for testing)
File sharing
Realtime bandwidth (pretty much the same as DD-WRT)
Bandwidth statistics (non-real-time data, and to view much more, you probably need more linux skills. Takes up a lot of space too, so the USB thumbdrive is handy)
Even a printer is possible... although I can't really do this, the printer is 3-in-1.
Yes, I believe you'll need to learn a little bit with its command lines, however. There's the wiki for help, and also the users. Don't worry, it has a user interface.

@rizvanrp
Bro, mind to share how you create VLAN?
I search through DD-WRT, I only manage to create 0-15 vlan.

Any idea?

-pWs-

I don't mind at all. It's good to have more OpenWRT users  .

EDIT: By the way, why are you guys trying to set up VLAN? For isolation purposes? Or to set a few devices to have the same ip without conflict?
EDIT2: Looks like you guys are trying to get IPTV to work.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Setti...ireless_traffic

If the guide does not work, ssh into the router using putty (username is root, pass.. is your pass), key in "ifconfig" (without '') and post the output here.

Sigh, my 20MB unifi installation is not successful. Signal too weak
Looks like I have to use my streamyx longer.

Pulled these old screenshots from May 2010 ...

vlan2 in these screenies refer to the physical WAN port on the router but its different for each chipset. Yours may be eth0/eth1/vlan1 so you'll have to test it and figure it out. After you've done this properly, your router should be able to establish the PPPoE connection with a direct link to the GPON/VDSL unit.

Ok. This is how it goes. I was offered by TM to be their beta user until the end of June. They promise me to call me the the end of June to ask me whether or not to continue their service. then few days before 30th of June, i receive a mail regarding the special price for VIP20 if I continue to use Unifi after the trial period and also come with a form for me to fill if I want to continue however, there is no single information about rejecting their offer. When I turn on my computer on 1st of July, I was surprise that my Unifi still able to connect so i assume they need sometime to settle other beta users that's why my line still can be used. However, on 1Xth of July, I stop using Unifi and switch back to my Streamyx (I didn't know whether or not my Unifi is cut) and the sametime, I'm still waiting for them to call me as they promise they will do. Today morning, I received a bill from TM and I was shocked when I look at the amount I need to pay. I need to pay RM199 instead of RM88. I admit my mistake for not calling them to cut my line after the trial but hey, they promise me to call me and I already stop using it. So guy, is it my mistake for not calling them or theirs for not calling me?? Now my parents are mad at me Hopefully i can settle this problem on next Tuesday.

i think you need to throw a hub in between and test.. and capture the packet flow and see is it really tagging at vlan500
cause i heard ddwrt vlan tagging got some "kecacatan"

@ klseet
Try reboot the router. It will turn back to VLAN1. Not VLAN1.500
I got two DD-WRT router which is Linksys WRT160N and Asus RT-N12.
Same issue which is for Linksys, I set to VLAN2.500. Reboot and turn back VLAN2.

As suggested by bro rizvanrp, maybe u can try on manually set the command at the Startup command in DD-WRT. Not yet try for this.
But FYI. If u replace w your router, you will sacrifice your IPTV.

Can you surf any websites by using this Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N ?, based on my experience it can only connect to google. Other websites seem barred. This Buffalo router got some issues -drop connection & you need to set some script on it, Should ask Rizvan, he did once for me.

Hi, where do I get the Brainslayer Aug 10 version ya? Am gonna go and buy WHR-HP-G300N today, hopefully. Can't afford the Cisco switch Rizvanrp recommended, and don't know where to find the Mikrotik in KL. Thanks for any tips and advice!

There was a bug with some of the previous Brainslayer firmware versions causing TCP connection drops for some reason. You had to run 'iptables -F FORWARD' in order to fix it I suppose its been fixed by them already

This WAN port assignment disappearing only applies to VLAN interfaces on Broadcom chipsets. I did some testing with prodigy last night and apparently, even if you hard code it to vlan1.500 it will refuse to send out any tagged PPPoE traffic. It might have something to do with the nvram variables or maybe broadcom chipsets just dont allow VLAN interfaces as WAN ports, lol

It's a crap router. Just replace it. My replacement only cost 270 and that is shiping included. The router spec way better then dir-615 and home consumer router except pfsense of course.

@klseet

Don't think you're able to set the IPTV to work with the routers you're using. Seeing that you don't have  VLANs tab under the Setup tab. Or maybe you have to use OpenWRT.

What I did this morning, I've setup a WAN profile for PPPOE and route one of the port in the HUAWEI fiber modem to host the internet connection. In which I manage to did it and use another router to host the internet via Static IP under the WAN Connection Type. This also can be done by isolation on Layer 3 to the LAN ports available on the modem via LAN1-4 if unchecked it will act as per-normal packet connection to the TM exchange but of course VLAN tagging is required i.e. 500/600.

So right now my setup would be

BTU (HUAWEI)@LAN1*  => HUB/SWITCH@LAN8
HUB/SWITCH@LAN7 => DIR615(Stock FW) => IPTV STB
BTU (HUAWEI)@LAN2** => WRT54GL@WAN
BTU (HUAWEI)@LAN3*
BTU (HUAWEI)@LAN4*

Legends :-
*No routing to PPPOE WAN connection
*With routing to PPPOE WAN connection.

If you guys need any help on the HUAWEI setup just drop me a PM. ...

Ralink and Atheros can support PPPoE over VLAN interface fine but Broadcom doesn't. Port mapping (or port based VLANs) depends on whether your router can support it in the first place. It's two different issues and it's very hard to find a single router model that can do both of these things at once with dd-wrt. If you really need IPTV, just go with a VLAN switch.
