After 4 week of waiting tommorow they will come to install it was hoping all going to be ok

Wow..nice...how u do that...as Im using the same BTU ZTE too..mind sharing with the community here...

Can we do all these on RB250GS?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought those firewall setting it's for RouterOS like RB750/750G?

Wooah, I didn't know ZTE BTU can create both vlan500 & 600 !
That is interesting, mind to share how you do it? I guess ZTE users would be interested to know!

I'm using Huawei EchoLife HG850a BTU, can create vlan.500 & PPPoE as per pr0's instruction, but I didn't use it because of double NAT.
So far still no luck & don't know how to create vlan.600 for IPTV ...

Speedtest done in pangsapuri mutiara subang, seksyen u5/9 shah alam..so far so good...5th day since my unifi installation...package 5mbps..

nice lolx how long does the installation in ur house?

Silencer, this is what you need to do.

Connect your laptop/pc to Port 4 of your ZTE BTU 931

Manually set your laptop/pc I to 192.168.1.2 subnect mask 255.255.255.0, you may leave the gateway blank.

After that login to your BTU, via 192.168.1.1 and type in username and password = admin

After that, follow this screenshot below.

Disclaimer, I am not liable for any damages/down time caused to anyone. Do it at your own risk.

Port 1 (Connects to your router's WAN port)

Click on Advanced Setup > Vlan Trunk Setting

Then follow this screenshot.



Click Save/Apply

After this, click on the LAN Interface Select pull down menu on top and select LAN2

Tick vlan Trunk Enable and configure as per screenshot below

Port 2 (Connects to your IPTV)



Click Save/Apply.

Reboot your ZTE BTU and IPTV and Router.

Where does the converter plug into? The black one to green hole?

on wednesday 6th oct..they reached around 10.15 am...finished installing everything around 2.15 pm...4 hours...the technician actually nothing much configuration...when they called the unifi centre to activate the unifi line..the centre don't cooperate too well...i guess among themselves also got a lot of miscommunication....the centre ppl lazy to do their part.... thats y took so long...mine high rise by the way..

Im staying at 5th floor subang u3/2..
wah almost 4 hours quite long tommorow need take leave rolf i thought want take only half day hahaha...
how many ppl come de? just want to belanja minum if all goes well rolf

Nice guide there. If you're using your own router e.g WRT54GL, you can follow this guide.

If you're using back DIR-615 for the PPPoE, you need to set LAN Port 1, VLAN ID=500 and PVID=N/A. Then you can connect back your DIR-615 to the LAN Port 1 of the BTU without changing any configuration on the DIR-615.

Not All Unifi Installations Are Born Equal

This is what my installer told me (very nice guy, a TM supervisor-level fella, not just a random installer).

The first time they came to my house, they checked the signal strength at the telephone pole and found the DB to be at 39 points. (i have no idea what DB stands for, i assume it has something to do with signal quality from the main exchange which is about 500m from my house).

The second time they came, the signal was still 38 points despite them already having checked and made some minor adjustments at the main exchange.

Both times, they cannot proceed with the installation because the maximum signal threshold is 28 points -- any higher than that and the signal quality will be so poor that unifi will be unstable and/or have very poor performance.

Then TM checked what the problem really is and found that some fiber cables were waterlogged and had to be replaced. So they replaced it.

Then the third installation attempt, the signal was 15 points. This is considered very very good.

And after using Unifi for the last few days, the quality has been excellent. Very stable, constantly hovering 4.9UP/4.9DOWN. Played xbox360 FIFA11 and Halo Reach online like crazy over the weekend, and it was perfect every game. Downloads hitting max 500-600 and averaging 450+ via BolehVPN. IPTV is perfect too, while i'm gaming wife is watching SyFy, and dad is Skyping with sister.

This is on VIP5. Landed property, not an apartment. Kota Damansara, Section 5 (near the mosque).

So consider that 15 points is quite a difference from the 28 point maximum before installation will proceed. This may explain why some of us have no problems, and others have unreliable service.

Say your signal strength is 27.5 points -- the installer will still proceed with the work. But that's damn close to the 28 point threshold already, and could indicate that there are problems with your line and/or problems at the main exchange.

So, i think this is something the community needs to be aware of -- the installer will sometimes write in the signal strength numbers on the top of your Unifi installation receipt (the one you sign to accept that the installation is successful). See what your DB signal strength is.

I'm not sure if we can insist on a signal strength below 20 points, since their standards is 28 points. But what i can say for sure is signal strength of 15 points is really god-like. Super stable, consistent and enjoyable. I don't feel like a single sen of my rm149 is being wasted.

Hope this info helps you all, especially new installers.

i did enquire about that..but usually they will test ur existing copper line if it is sufficient to sustain the speed...in my case vdsl2 is more than enuf...so no need pull...they charge for pulling the cable or not ??

hi guy,

is playing online games using unifi is better than streamyx 4m? cause most of the online lag issue are due to malaysia user connect to US user.

Yes, its true.
My first unifi installation was not successful because the BTU can't establish connection even tho to SN is only 27db.
After 3 weeks TM come back and this time the SN is around 21db inside my house. The BTU connected right away after powering up.
I never encounter any data corruption problem.
The speed is usually around 17Mb at night and 22Mb at 6am.
Did have some problem with the DIR-615 but its solved now.
I downloaded a lot of thing after I got my unifi.
Now dunno what to download already. 20Mb line idling
