Ok 2nd day since I installed DD-WRT. Everything is a-ok, but still a little bit too early to tell.
Anywho;

Hi covetous, your house must be semi-D or bungalow where there is no backlane access, hence the telecommunication infrastructure are from the front.

Usually, there should be an underground uPVC or PVC duct connecting telekom manhole/handhole outside your house until telephone pit, so usually there's a draw wire inside the duct to allow TM contractor to tie to the draw wire and draw in the fibre optic cable into the telephone pit and telephone distribution box.

Like most of the forumers, fibre optic to home was laid from backlane telephone post (1 block from my house <5 m); two types of fibre optic cables were used, external was black (armour) fibre optic cable mounted on backwall with cable support (hook) and internal was white fibre optic cable laid through first floor ceiling (roof space) and dropped to my 1st floor family room along the edge of wall with u-clip, since the fibre optic is white and tiny, it's hardly noticable. All IT equipment, i.e. Huawei BTU, TM DIR-615, TL-WR941N were installed at corner of family room with a notebook fan connected to USB port of DIR-615.

Dear all, any idea if Palm Spring Condo @ Damansara available already? The address is Jalan PJU 3/29

Thanks!

hey bro, yeah my house has no backlane access. You're right about that PVC duct thingy, unfortunately its blocked by my shoerack (cement n brick put over the thing already). Only way is to hope another TM contractor can drill or create a new passageway for the cables to reach my telephone pit. They could actually make a new lubang to connect the manhole to my drain..but the contractors i had weren't very willing to do the extra work i think



When my parents made the shoe-rack, the contractor said no problem! its not blocking anything!.. lol gg. Now i cant remove it unless I destroy it Even if i break it up, the contractor said the cement might sumbat that PVC duct thing. Aih! I hope TM can get back to me soon. I hope they dont charge the RM200 installation fee if i get mine installed after 30th September. To those out there thinking of installing Unifi, be sure to check where your telephone pit is and if there's anything blocking it!

Try to negotiate with them, you may get some 'surprise'. I had mine 'surprise' with good negotiation with them as my fibre optic cable was supposed to come from the ground floor and hacking involved which is not possible at all.



Is your shoe-rack removable? Usually those cabinet type shoe rack or book rack are easily removable and get it fixed back, even they can move and reinstalled at new house/room.

Just for fun. Showing my unifi setup.

BTU : Hwawei
VLAN Switch : HP Procurve 1700
Router : Asus RT-N16

I have set up the Mikrotik RB250GS per rizvanrp's instructions. Everything is working fine, except the IPTV is jerky. Is it my wrong setting or is it because the RB250GS is not powerful enough for the IPTV bandwidth?

wow thats very messy..

Do you have jerky issue for IPTV with the Procurve 1700? I am thinking may be Mikrotik RB250GS is not powerful enough for IPTV?

Jerk in IPTV also happens but not often.

Added on September 20, 2010, 10:34 pmCan't avoid that. The cable connection of the HP switch is at the front.

anyone from usj subang perdana courts 3 already install unifi at their unit?
how is the performance and stability?

I think it has nothing todo with RB250GS performance, RB250GS is a gigabit switch, you only need 8mbps out of 1000mbps that RB250GS has for IPTV. Something must be wrong at your side.

I notice that port 2 (configured for IPTV) will flash and then stop intermittently, but the BTU keeps flashing rapidly. It looks like it is not switching quick enough? When I switched back to the DIR-615 everything back to normal.
Can anyone using RB250GS comment if they face the same issue?

I will do a comparison when I receive my RB250GS next week. My HP switch got jerk when watching IPTV, but its very minor and doesn't always happen.

Which revision do you have?
Mine is C2
I have also done a D1 for a friend

Depends on the revision number, sometimes you need to edit the bin file with a hex editor so that the router will take the firmware.

damn.... i think my DIR-615 G1 router going to die soon.. no more wifi, internet connection now you see it now you don't & iptv same thing. Tried switch off router for 10 min then restart... got connection dee then after awhile watching gone... can see the internet connection blink very fast but no more iptv connection (no light on Lan4). Are this the sympton of the router problem??

Note: Just installed Unifi on 18/09/2010 that's 2 days ago...

Got my unifi VIP5 today... speed is pretty good.

Test download commonly shared torrent ( debian netinstall 150MB).. Was d/l at around 4Mbps constantly...

One thing I notice is that the BTU is very hot compared to the Wireless Router when I touch it ...

Is this normal ??

Thanks

Mine was down since a week or so before Raya! Still waiting from someone on their side to call me up and come fix whatever problems I'm having. Called them up last week on Wednesday(already made a report before raya), and until now still nothing even though it's twice now I've seen the TM van in my area going out from it. Kinda frustrating but I'll wait a bit more and see how things go in the next few days.

Hi Yushin, where did you get your Asus RT-N16?
How much was it?

Any disadvantage of switching off the n mode then?
