Guys,

Can someone tells me how do I add attachments on PM?
I've been trying to attached the original invoice for you guys but I couldn't find any attachment option on my PM ?!

Hi, you may refer to Soliton's contact & price info at:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1557389

I think something wrong with my PM, I see everything except the "attachment" option :


any idea how to "enable" attachment?

Huh, get a N16 just for the PPPoE+router and a Cisco for AP ....

Honestly, I dare not think about streaming 720P wirelessly, not to mention 1080P ...

Anywhere, I'll lay Cat6 in my house soon for both network purpose & HDMI transmission over LAN

If you are using Huawei BTU & your 941ND is running on dd-wrt, you can create vlan1.500 tagging & PPPoE dialer on 941ND and just connect directly to the BTU for internet:
BTU[LAN1] --> [WAN]941ND --> PC/computers
BTU[LAN2] --> [WAN]DIR-615[LAN4] --> IPTV
Internet & IPTV run independently!

Bro, if you don't need IPTV & your 1043ND is already dd-wrt, you can consider the above setup!
But later if you need IPTV, then you'll still need RB250GS on ZTE BTU

May I know where & when you bought the 941ND?
I first bought it from All IT HyperMarket at LY 4/5 months ago, it was v3.2 can work on dd-wrt.
About a month ago bought 5 units from ViewNet [next to All IT], also v3.2 confirmed can work on dd-wrt.
So I assumed those v3.2 sold here are not using that Intel chip on board which not supported by dd-wrt.

If you really want to dd-wrt, please note that you are doing this at your own risk and may void the warranty.
I haven't tried to flash-back original firmware, but I presume it should work.

If you understand the risk and still want to proceed, then:

1. download latest build from: ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V...k_tl-wr941ndv3/

2. login to your 941ND stock firmware, go to upgrade firmware page and use "factory-to-ddwrt.bin" file to upgrade

3. DO NOT touch anything until you see the dd-wrt page!

4. Once you see the dd-wrt page, DO NOT do anything yet, UNPLUG power supply, wait 1min

5. use a sharp object press the reset button [small hole beside the WAN port], DO NOT release, plug-in power supply, still hold it for at least 30sec, unplug power supply then release the re-set button, wait for another 30sec
[note: some said no need this step, but I still suggest you to do so for a really clean vram to start with]

6. pug-in power supply, open browser type 192.168.1.1 and you should see the dd-wrt page

7. enter a user ID [eg, root] with your password, then you are good to setup PPPoE, vlan tagging, wireless, etc like usual.

So far to me it's pretty straight forward and I can flash all the 941ND without any problem.

You DO NOT have to do anything on the Huawei BTU, just connect like my previous post will do.
Good luck !

That one you are using now is stock standard and is not dd-wrt ....
For first time flashing, you need that "factory-to-ddwrt.bin", the 2nd file is for update from previous dd-wrt version.

Advantage? How do I say..... I personally prefer dd-wrt for it's features, stability, more powerful & robust ....

Ans1. the first time after you flashed, the default dd-wrt IP is 192.168.1.1 it will ask you to enter your desire admin user ID & password in order to proceed further.

Ans2. My 941ND is using vlan1 for wan, you may refer to Riz's guide on DIR-615 dd-wrt, only the part where it show how to create vlan tagging.
Note that 941ND is vlan1.500 as every router has it's own assignment.

Anywhere, if you are not familiar with dd-wrt flashing or if you don't really need dd-wrt, then I won't suggest you to go for it !

Bro, if you are using dd-wrt, you won't be asking me "What is the user ID and password on dd-wrt page?"

Hi Oreomambo,

Follow your guides, I managed to setup the RB750 & RB750G with both internet & IPTV working, thank you bro !!

Luckily MikroTik has the WinBox GUI, lots of features & information, otherwise I don't think I'm capable to configure it at command lines ...

The setup is rather straight forward, just few setup screen out of the box:

Interface – create vlan 500 & 600


Interface – set LAN5 neither master nor slave [to use for IPTV STB direct connection]


Bridge – create a bridge for IPTV


Bridge – Ports for IPTV bridge


PPP – Create PPPoE client for UniFi


Firewall – setup NAT


IP – DHCP server


That's all, internet & IPTV up & running!

Now have to figure out how to tighten the firewall ...

The RB750, which is the same price with RB250GS, is really tempting !
I think it's another item to consider for ppl who want full features router+vlan tagging and also those advance functions.

For me it means another less equipment and also neat since RB750/750G is the same size with RB250GS!

You may try to create vlan?.500, attach it to the WAN Port Assignment, then REBOOT it.
If the vlan?.500 still remain at the WAN Port Assignment, then you should be able to connect it directly with your BTU.

I have no luck to save it on Broadcom base dd-wrt routers on my Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 & ASUS-RT-N12, the moment I reboot, it's gone.
But I have no such problem on those Ralink & Atheros base dd-wrt routers.

You may also want to refer to the following links, which many dd-wrt gurus tested and claimed that some Broadcom dd-wrt routers support vlan tagging:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php...der=asc&start=0
http://secure.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/VLAN_Support
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Setti...ireless_traffic

So far I tried it but still no luck, it's kind of confusing to me, but I still can't find anything which state vlan?.500 connection on Broadcom base.
I was told by a dd-wrt guru that "the switches don't support VLAN's over 15", I really don't know what does that mean either .....

I could be wrong, it seem like at this moment, probably only Ralink & Atheros base dd-wrt routers can create vlan?.500 and connect directly to BTU without problem.

Been busy lately since my last setup on RB750, just did some firewall setting according to oreomambo's link, then tested it last night:

with uTorrent only:


with both uTorrent+IPTV [HD channel]


It seem to me that the throughput is slightly better than my current Buffalo WHR-G300N dd-wrt.
Also the IPTV doesn't seem to affect the internet traffic load.

Any other RB750 users here can share more experience in terms of connection/load/tweaking etc?

I've been using Pana Dect for a long time, currently I have this 2 models:
KX-TG7202ML http://www.panasonic.com.my/web/pid/7057 [been using for 2 years]
KX-TG6512ML http://direct.panasonic.com.my/Products.aspx/Details/1290 [new model just bought in Aug10 PC fair]

I can pair the TM's Dect to both without problem, but I noticed model 7202 still produce slightly better voice & hands-free quality.
Whereas model 6512 seem to have some problem on hands-free and occasionally the other side can't hear me.

I just sent the 6512 set to Pana Service Center few days ago [under warranty], apparently the base unit rosak liao, got power but no signal sent out !
I not sure whether it's the model problem since both TM's Dect and this 6512 is considered Pana's latest "Eco" model range .......

I like 6512's keyboard, screen size & the small & light power adapter; but I still prefer 7202's voice & signal quality.

Wah bro, you really looks like running a mini server room !
Btw, didn't see your NAS?!


Bro Riz, you did it again, bravo man!!

Apparently TM never learn, I'm really puzzled on why they keep wanting to enable the Remote Management over their already messy yet vulnerable network .....
True enough, whoever that person, I guess his head is indeed squarish one!

If the network is down, they can't connect through remotely; and if the network no problem, why they want to connect for??
Not to mention how lousy built that DIR-615 is, I don't think looking at that 615 remotely can do anything better to either support or trouble-shooting

This really sound bad & worry enough
Really wonder what kind of security officer over there can even think about such "security" design

Can you share more on how do you setup your Tomato & connect to the BTU directly?
Are both internet [vlan.500] & IPTV [vlan.600] runs concurrently on your WRT54GL?

I think you can just change the RB250GS Admin password [under System tab] will do!

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 ...

It's interesting to know ZTE BTU itself already can create vlan tagging, that means no need for another device!
How I wish I could do the same thing on my Huawei BTU ....

It has been quite sometime didn't access this forum since my RB750 been running perfectly so far, hope I didn't miss out any interesting topics

Anywhere, just an update that soon there will be a replacement for DIR-615 on retail market!

Recently by chance I met the TP-Link MY+SG sales manager, we talk a bit on routers and when we talk about UniFi topic (especially on the DIR-615 problem), he immediately offer to pass me a beta test unit TL-841ND
http://www.tp-link.com/products/productDet...odel=TL-WR841ND

They have actually customised a special firmware for UniFi to have both vlan.500 & 600 tagging on it, my initial test on my 5MB Huawei BTU seem to be very encouraging:




I have yet to test out IPTV and WiFi, so far it seem like I'm the only end-user to test out the unit, been busy lately ....
Since I'm not that technical enough, would really appreciate any sifu here can let me know on what else need to be tested, telnet to check or whatever need to be improved on the firmware. TP-Link developer has committed to work & support all the way, their main purpose is to allow consumers to have flexibility in choosing/replacing UniFi routers.

According to him, once the beta firmware tested & confirmed ok, they will release it on their official website solely for Malaysia UniFi users.
Later users can either buy the product and update the firmware, they may also release a pre-pack package for UniFi Malaysia.

Further tests last night:
- WiFi is good, can get around 4~6MB/s through WPA2-AES (N) access
- uTorrent up/down around 500kbs
- online xbox360 gaming very smooth
No disconnection/change IP throughout 5 hours duration testing, overall performance feel just like my RB750!

But IPTV still cannot watch yet, somehow the STB can get the IP address from host but it cannot load channels.
I can see from the TV screen, after it passed through the DHCP and get the IP, it keep showing "Searching....." and there is no "Network error" message.

I've captured some Wireshark data, since I'm not technical, I'm totally lost by looking at those Wireshark data
Anyone can help here?

I've also sent those data for their developer to trouble-shoot, hope they can fix it soon.

No sure whether TM will change to other brand/model or not, but at least we know there will be alternative out there!

Their developers are super busy now, their main focus now is to get at least a model to work first.
Once working fine, there's plan to do it for other models, may be even for 450MB WiFi product later.

One of my friend from Kepong complained UniFi slow last week, after checking, he was shock to see his IP became 175x and not 110x anymore
I remembered my office Streamyx IP is always 175x, so I suspect he was assigned into non-UniFi network.
His problem only resolve few days after he complained few times.

And guess what, now the problem started in my area, since Monday, I noticed my IP also became 175x, when I use PingTest.net to check, I was shock to see I'm in Brunei!!

The download/upload speed vary between 0.8~3MB on these Brunei's 175x IP. At first I tried to disconnect & reconnect, power-off wait few min & on again, sometime I get back 110x, but few hours it goes back to 175x !!

The situation became worst yesterday evening, irregardless what I did it always give me 175x
I really tak boleh tahan liao, call them complaint gao-gao, insist to get my technical fault report#, capture screen and email them.

I actually told them if they still put me on non-UniFi network in the next 24 hours, I'll have no choice but to refer this case to MCMC as this amount to breach of service contract.

This morning someone few calls from them, they promised will get technician to resolve soonest possible. This evening I came back, the problem seem to be resolved, tested few times connect/disconnect and I still get the same 110x IP, hope it won't happen again.

I could be wrong, it seem to me something could be wrong at their back-end, may be they mix-up Streamyx & UniFi users. So better the IP & SpeedTest, if it's not up to your package, better call and complaint to them and make sure they create and give you the technical report# for tracking & monitoring.
