Hi all,

I got my Unifi installed with Huawei and the stupid DIR-615 2 weeks ago. Few days ago the DIR-615 went crazy on me and all the amber lights were on, including the LAN lights. After switching it off and on again, only the on off light remains in amber while the other lights are all dead. I could not access 192.168.0.1 at all from Day 1 of installation until today.

I have since quickly connected to Unifi via the Huawei by configuring the Huawei at 192.168.1.1 (as per its manual) to connect directly to Unifi via dialup. I managed to go on the net after that. A day later, I found out I can't access to 192.168.1.1 anymore. Am I being blocked by tmnut?

A few days ago, I saw that the Wifi light on DIR-615 suddenly turned green by itself, but tried accessing the Wifi but was told that the password provided together with the router (pasted onto the underside of the router) was wrong!?! Switched off and on again, and it was back to amber light.

I currently have an old D-Link wireless ADSL router DSL-2640T from my old Screamyx days which I wanted to use as a VLAN bridge as recommended by Rizvanrp but was thwarted because it uses an RJ11 cable and no WAN ports. Not sure whether I can use one of the LAN ports as a WAN port.

So now I'm left with the option to flash the DIR-615 to dd-wrt as advised by Rizvanrp. Question is, should I just go and buy a new router with WAN port or should I just go ahead and flash DIR-615?

Please be advised I'm not exactly pro at this, just a self-made geek with lots of reading, and some past vague knowledge when I studied comp science like 10 years ago, and hence I seek everybody here for help. =)

Thanks for any advice, tips and/or help! =)

Huh?? How long did they get back to u after logging in a report? Really tmnut lah.

I have a broken d-link as well and thinking of buying the Buffalo WHR-HP-300n. Where did you buy it and for how much? Also, the dd-wrt firmware comes together bundled in the router right, as in you don't have to flash it first? Thanks for any replies. =)

Thanks for the advice! Which VLAN capable switch and IP router would you recommend? And the setup you mentioned above is using the IP router as a VLAN bridge right, with the switch connecting to the RJ11 and subsequently to the wall? (Sorry very noobie). =p

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!

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!

Also another question for everybody, if I use the current firmware for Buffalo WHR-G300N and connect it straight to Huawei's LAN2 port, it will ask for PPPoE ID and pwd. Is this the same as my Unifi ID and pwd?

Tried the guide, but even after restart, the INTERNET_R_VID_500 still can't access to internet, except if I connect the cable to LAN1, which is the pre-configured port for DIR-615. All LANs have been checked at Layer 3. Any help is really appreciated, thanks!

Added on August 17, 2010, 12:05 amHi klseet, I managed to flash the WHR-G300N to dd-wrt firmware with success! And currently can replace the DIR-615 by connecting the WHR-G300N to LAN1 on Huawei.

Now just trying to make any LAN port from Huawei to connect to the WHR-G300N. Tried prodigy's guide with no success, unfortunately. Only LAN1 can be connected to internet, even though all LANs are checked in Layer 3.

Thanks in advance for any help if you know why the Huawei is acting like this.

Okay guys, I think I screwed up the Huawei pretty bad. Anyone has any experience resetting it to factory config? Can't even connect to VOIP (red light). Have also called up TM to have them come over.

Thanks for any replies.

Yeah I did and then tangan gatal and pressed the reset button at the back.

I did back it up but now can't access to admin panel at all. I told them I did a hard reset already. Now trying to figure out how to access the factory default admin panel. Tried 192.168.1.1 but didn't work. Will wait for TM unless forumers here can help me out.

That one is for accessing dlink admin panel. Previously, I can access the Huawei admin panel using pr0di9y's method by setting static IP, subnet and gateway and accessing it at 192.168.100.1. But now cannot access even when using those steps.

Right now I'm at work accessing this forum. My line at home currently is totally inaccessible.

Will do as per what you outlined here once I'm back from work, appreciate the help. Sorry I might sound so dumb and gatal tangan but I'm here to hopefully learn to configure all this and hopefully can get both the IPTV and wifi working together, without stressing the DIR-615 too much. I'll try to be more patient.
