If possible i would prefer pick up at the Curve since it's convenient for me.

I've already paid up :} i kept my word.

nah i dabble a little in both

Someone already tried strongvpn they said the speed sux

Try check their terms of service. Their very sneaky sometimes.

Thx klseet.

We agreed on the curve

Klseet, better ask the people give real name. After someone show up is not who they say they are.

the usb port is for easy WDS setup. Its not meant for external storage nor can it be used for that.

Some router offer that functionality however :/

Thank you Klseet. My internet works now using the Microtik RB250GS :}

Very satisfied.


The firmware on the device wasn't the latest so i used Rivzan's file. It still showed the old version, so i pulled out the power plug wait 30 seconds, then plug back in. It then correctly shows the updated version.

I had to change my pc ip address. Rivan's guide didn't say how, so i found a useful guide how to do it
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/25949-42...address-windows

Next i just configure the settings in the switch. Once all done, i unplug and plug it all accordingly based on Rivzan's guide.

Internet didn't connect, so i went to network and click on the internet connection to fix. It said it automatically fix it by resetting back the ip adddress to enable DHCP.

Now the internet works

I see my torrent download speed fluctuate between 1mb/s and 1.2 mb/s

This is better than with the dlink as it's more stable now.


I haven't tested for iptv yet becauz i need to find an extra cable to link the modem and the switch.

Thx klseet, you've done the lowyat community a great service

My combo is

Fiberhome FTTH modem > Microtik RB250GS > ESR-9850 router >

- Water cooled desktop + QNAP TS-659 Pro (Main Server) + QNAP TS-509 Pro (backup)


Connected wirelessly to the ESR-9850 router are...

- Laptop 1 + Laptop 2 + desktop 2


Connected via ethernet homeplug

- Popcorn Hour A100 + TMMNUT Hyptv box


My website got screenshots how it's setup

looks like a switch,


Fuyoo, put the rb250gs on a pedestal some more


@Evirober

Yes it is it's more of a complaint what still needs to be addressed.

My QNAP TS-509 Pro is using 5 x 1tb Western Digital RE3 enterprise raid drives in EXT4 RAID5. This was my first nas, and i may have jumped the gun when getting the expensive enterprise drives.

I recently acquired a new QNAP TS-659 Pro with Atom 1.8 GHZ dual core cpu. It has 4 x 2tb Samsung F3 desktop drives in EXT4 raid5. They work perfectly fine with no errors. This time around after careful study, i got these 2tb desktop drives which work fine in raid. Why pay for expensive 1tb when you can get cheap 2tb that work fine in raid ?

So now i just turn off my 509 since i use that for backup. The 659 is on 24/7 as my webserver, media storage etc

If your getting drives i recommend the Samsung F3 2tb for best value/performance. There is a newer Samsung F4 2tb just came out this month, however it is using the new 4k sector advance format. If you want to go down that route, investigate whether your NAS supports 4k sector drive or will it degrade your performance.


My preference is QNAP, so i would recommend 4 bay minimum if you want to get QNAP so you can do raid 5 or raid 6. I recommend raid5 since the performance penalty isn't as high as raid6.


PS: Remember with good internet you must have good storage, AND A backup

The samsung 2tb f3 drives i use are 5400 rpm. But they perform quite well but uses less watts, makes less noise and heat; and price/performance is the best

NAS is mostly storage so doesn't have to be such a high end drive. Must also consider ownership costs like how much watts it uses.

Of course better drive is always good, but desktop vs nas, desktop you will notice the difference more since you run your games, and applications so access speed is important. For desktop a SSD for your operating system is a huge benefit. For NAS only if you run a server that requires access from many simultaneous connections, yes SSD is great, but SSD is very expensive and the capacities are very small.

For NAS when you say play a music file to stream, the hard drive spins up. So the access time also matters here. Also the transfer speed on your LAN is partly due to your drive performance also. Better drive means you can expect better file transfer speed. For my Samsung i get between 60-110 MB/s which is pretty good for me

no no the speed im quoting is lan to lan speed between NAS and desktop pc.

The homeplug i have is an Aztech HL-109. So streaming is more dependent on the homeplug connection to the Popcorn Hour A100. The Popcorn Hour A100 may stutter a bit for some Hl5.1 mkv encoded videos :/ but that is most likely because of the outdated sigma chip. For streaming i think the speed is sufficient, but hard to test unless you transfer data between the NAS and the Popcorn Hour A100 which i don't because i don't have a hard drive installed on the popcorn hour.

Tm will just play on the consumers ignorance. If nobody has yet noticed, consumer protection in Malaysia is pretty bad

Wow .....


I haven't really been posting in this thread much since i have little to no complaints regarding my internet performance.

Sure the cap thing is uncertain, but i will probably only complain once it's enforced. Until then i am quite satisfied.

Anyway i am saddened why people would try and find fault with Rizzy after all his contributions given.

I can understand why some people may think that exposing weaknesses for tmnuts internet practices may not be a good idea. However i feel it greatly outweighs any bad, because it forces tmnut to act and fix up their problems. Knowing and acting on problems rather than remain in ignorance is my philosophy.

I feel it is a shame that Rizzy has to be driven away by people who feel it is more important to satisfy their own egos by trolling rather than be thankful to all the help Rizzy has done for the lowyat community. If it weren't for Rizzy, most of us would be stuck using the shitty DIR-615 router which sucks for torrenting.



To be frank, i am not too clear what the full story is, but looks to me as if rexio you have been taking shots at Rizzy himself and made him feel unwelcomed. I strongly suggest you put your ego aside and have a chat with Rizzy to make up. He is a good guy if you have a chat with him.

We aren't saying you aren't allowed to give your opinions, however you should avoid taking shots at Rizzy, unless you want to be an outcast here on lowyat. You won't win this cause Rizzy is a well respected member of this community. So make your peace now with him , or it's your funeral, just a piece of friendly advise.

I don't enjoy ganging up on anyone on the forum, so i won't, but this won't stop others if you persist in flaming rizzy.


Thats my 5 cents worth.

*the mob charges at billytong


Just kidding

I must say thx to Tentris for alerting the right channels. Lets hope now something can be done about it.

It's one thing when the user does something stupid that leaves themselves open to attacks (like setting dmz or what not); but it's different when your isp treats your security as if it is of no consequence to them, that is bollocks.

I too wonder why there has not been any group law suits against them for exposing our networks needlessly, if anything like this happened in any western country, there would be heavy fines or what not And remember, it's not just home users who are affected by this, but businesses as well who have a lot more to lose


Anyway other than that issue mentioned above, my Unifi 10 mbps is doing pretty well
