installed unifi vip 20 on thurs. left everything on...FRI morning DIR 615 DIED!!!! It's really a crap router. So here is my plan

BTU--->RB250GS--->Router---->Cisco AP 1252g--->PC

RB250GS configured as per http://unifi.athena.my/index.php?option=co...id=55&Itemid=67

I only need data to work. Not interested in IPTV.

Any PPPOE router to recommend?

Can the above configuration work for my case?

Any idea where to get the RB250GS from Malaysia?

DIR 615 really sucks big time.

thanks guys

RB250GS is just a managed switch? Can't dail a PPPoE connection?

From what i read, DIR-615 is a good piece of hardware, but the original firmware is crap however i doubt the one TM provided is good (mine died in 7 days) got that replaced by TM then ... I went out and bought another DIR-615 (RM130) flashed it with DD-WRT and its has no problems since ... absolute solid thing now ...

Funny thing ...
When I do an upload test with TMs router it max out at 200kb/s
When i do an upload test with DIR-615 (DD-WRT) it max out at 2.5mb/s

I'm trying to order my RB250GS but i don want it if it cant dail a PPPoE, if its only going to do VLAN tagging then DD-WRT can do that, don really need another hardware just for that.

Any comments?

I've done Unifi PPPoE on DIR-615 and DIR-825 with DD-WRT both works fine ...

Just so fed-up with the corrupted downloads now ...

My VOIP not working few days ago, am in PJ. anyone facing same problem.
Thanks.

There are currently no pormotion, but I do heard the Installation Fee is required for... What is it September this month ? or October ? Can't Remember.

Anyway, at night my line is getting worst... sigh...

Installation fee will be waived if you're applying for VIP20 or BIZ20. This is a time limited offer.

Although TM DIR-615 is a crappy router, it is the only one out there can do vlan tagging, ppoe, routing and wireless at the same time. We still need to find a single router that can do all these thing to completely replace DIR-625 without the need of extra equipment.

Guys, what about this router? http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9931/index.html



It has level 2 manage switch. Can do vlan tagging.

Problem is, can't buy this router here.

Yes, RB250GS is only a managed switch and does not have PPPoE dialer.
If you don't require IPTV and going for dd-wrt with vlan?.500 capability, then yes you don't need it either.

However, correct me if I'm wrong, currently for dd-wrt supported routers, Broadcom base seem to have problem keeping vlan?.500 on WAN Port Assignment, it will be gone the moment you re-boot.
Whereas for Ralink & Atheros base, it can create vlan?.500 tagging and WAN connection without problem, but still unable to create another vlan?.600 for IPTV on the same router.

At this moment, I believe the main purpose for RB250GS is to :
- handle both vlan 500 [internet] & 600 [IPTV] concurrently;
- connect any router, with or without dd-wrt, no vlan tagging require to it for internet;
- connect IPTV directly, so can "keep" that DIR-615 for good;
and hopefully, at the very minimum cost involve!

Btw, if I'm not mistaken, those DIR-615 from TM is G1 version, those in the market it's like D1, D2, E...
Not sure whether they are the same makes?

Woah. Thats a RM500++ router there. But nobody knows it will work with our setting... :star:

Is similar to the Linksys RVS4000 model, which I'm using.

everything ok with unifi ?

Yes, I'm using it as a bridge for VLAN Tag. By the way found a website sell the WRVS4400N online.

Hi bros, I have an issue here...I can't seem to connect to the DIR-615 using my PC. Recently bought a Belkin USB Wireless N adaptor. Manage to connect, surf & even download but almost every 10-15 mins my wireless adaptor goes crazy and can't connect to Wifi anymore.

So I bought another Wifi Adaptor, but this time a PCI one from D-Link. Also having issues, because I can't seem to obtain an IP address from DHCP. Weird thing is, with my iPhone & iPad & laptop, don't have such issue.

So me and my itchy hand, I did a hard reset of the DIR-615. And now I totally can't connect at all. How do I re-configure the DIR-615? What parameters do I need to set to get it working again?

Also, any other bros having issues using the Belkin USB adaptor with

Edit: just to clarify, I only hard reset the DIR-615 and nothing else. Tomorrow I will try to configure the router by directly using LAN cable to connect to the router and attempt to re-create the Wireless network.do I need to set any PPPoE settings on the router? The PPPoE password is the one sent to us during registeration, right?

I have issue with corrupted download especially zip/msi/exe file. Also, Video on Demand only last few minutes and it will turned to garbage (as in picture).

without dir-615 and iptv still preserved?

IPTV is working, but I'm not too sure about the WRVS4400.

It is the same thing, if u guys wanna view all the datasheet it is here

Infact the non-gigabit version RB120w can map Vlan tag up to 4094 (base on conversion it is about RM450+)

RVS4000 is a good choice too

Yeah, RV120w also have the same layer 2 switch function. A lot cheaper than WRVS4400N

http://www.cresdo.com/computers/networking...s/product/16136

Price at RM349.

WRVS4400N is ridiculous pricing. It is the same thing over RVS4000 but it cost so much extra, the difference is enough for you to get a decent wireless N router to convert into AP.

RVS4000 not even N.... why not couple a mikrotek with an N router like tp link? it would cost less than that... we are just home users... dont need such an advanced router lol

RSV4000 don't have WiFi feature, it is just a smart switch
