Hi guys,


I have just gotten my Unifi installed and I intend to replace the DIR-615 RG with a Mikrotik RB750G router.
I am on VDSL2 (high-rise building).

The plan:

RB750G
Port1 = connected to the ZTE 931WII (VDSL2 BTU) -> PPPoE uplink
Port 2 = connected to IPTV set top box
Port 3, 4, 5 = switched

The progress:

I have created a VLAN interface (id = 500) attached to Port1. PPPoE connection has been set up. Now I am able to connect to the Internet from the router.

I have bridged port 3, 4 & 5 together.

The 2 computers connected to port 3 & 4 (bridged) can ping each other.

The question:

What do I need to set up in order to have the computers on port 3 & 4 share the PPPoE connection on Port 1?

Can any sifus help me out here? Thanks in advance!

New Unifi user reporting in. I can confirm that the RB750G works for the Unifi. As a matter of fact, it works like a charm. You need to set up SNAT in order to enable the private network to acces the Internet.

RouterOS is seriously powerful too. Its like you can run a mini ISP with billing features, QoS, etc.

I have just left my router on for one night. Looking at the logs, I am seeing brute force attacks via SSH already. Prior to this, I had no idea that the Internet was such a hostile environment!

RM310 only. Can get from Landasan in Dataran Prima.

Confirm it works, both IPTV and Data needs VLAN tagging. IPTV on VLAN id 600, Data on VLAN id 500.

I plugged in my WRT310N running DD-WRT into my RB750G. Now I have both wireless and wired access.

If you are concerned about cost, maybe there is a cheaper solution.

Reporting in from Puchong.

IP Phone was down in the morning.

Now it is working fine. :-)

I don't know about the non-G version. But don't you think that at Unifi speeds, the extra cost for the gigabit version would be a good investment?

Yes, no current the GPON unit also cannot on how to use the phone?

Thats why I am keeping my landline in case of emergency.

Have anyone dialed 999 from the VoIP phone yet? I am wondering if it works.

Hi, its actually quite easy, just use the following command:



Then it automatically works like a charm. You can surf and so on!

I would suggest you configure the firewall further as well.

I seem to be getting hostile traffic from Chinese IPs every minute.

Bro,

The configuration of RB250GS is very different from the RB750G.

The RB250GS is a managed switch whereas the RB750G is a full-fledged router as Rivzan has mentioned. Think of the 750 as a standalone computer running Linux with 5 network cards installed.

There is a web configuration interface for the 750G but the options are very limited. You need to configure it via telnet using the CLI in order to access the advanced features.

I have been running Linux full-time for the last 8 years and even then, it took a a good few hours to fully configure the router (rusty firewall skills) to my liking.

As far as I know right now, you can only purchase it in Malaysia from Landasan or you will have to bring it in from Singapore.

Log in using telnet. The default username is admin. There is no password.

I do not have the non-G version so I have no idea.

I am guessing it should be the same.

The logs show a lot of incoming new connection requests, mostly on the SSH port and using all sort of common usernames. I suppose its a brute force attack.

Reverse DNS lookup points it back to China. Are you getting them too?

My installer told me to keep the default settings for about 1 month for diagnostic purposes. Naturally, I did not comply.
