Hey guys,

Wanna ask something regarding network

(Group A)
BTU <---Router A(NAT/firewall)--->
<---LAN port 1---> Desktop 1
<---LAN port 2---> HTPC/Desktop 2
<---LAN port 3---> WAN port of switch/bridge with wifi - (was a router with disabled DHCP)
<---LAN port 4---> IPTV

(Group B)
Switch/bridge with wifi
<---LAN port 1---> Desktop 3
<---LAN port 2---> Desktop 4
<---Wifi ---> a couple of Notebooks


Is it possible for setup like this? with all PCs/notebooks with internet accesses and also able to network up each other in both direction?

I assume that you connect the WHR-G300N to one of the LAN on TL941ND instead of WAN?

yes I did a test yest make DIR615 as main router/switch, my own router change to bridge. It work flawlessly even I connect to the WAN port. All PCs on main router and the secondary bridge/switch/AP able t o connect to Internet.

The only problem is the PCs connected on the main router(615) could not connect to the secondary bridge/switch/AP.

Desktop 1/2 cannot access Desktop 3/4 at all.

I suppose it is related to WAN port, can ur computers on the main router WHR-G300N able to connect to notebook that is on to TL-Link-TL941ND

(Group A)
BTU <---Router A(NAT/firewall/DHCP on/Wifi off/unifi pppoe Dial)--->
<---LAN port 1---> Desktop 1
<---LAN port 2---> HTPC/Desktop 2
<---LAN port 3---> WAN port of Router B
<---LAN port 4---> IPTV

(Group B)
Router B (Disabled DHCP/Wifi On)
<---LAN port 1---> Desktop 3
<---LAN port 2---> Desktop 4
<---Wifi ---> a couple of Notebooks


I did a setup like this yesterday.

All PCs is able to connect to internet. But the problem is the computers on Group A & B do not talk each other. For ex, I cannot Ping Desktop 3 from Desktop 1.

Why I wondering all these mess?

because I if it work I might go for the full fledged router RB750G.

So I guess with all that, it should work?

Looks like I am going RB750G, Well please drop me from the RB250GS list

Well the thing is I was using router A(DIR-615) + Router B to do testing to see if this kind of concept work or not, b4 I go and purchase RB750G.

if router A/B work, then RB750G should work, because it will be my router A

Sorry for the RB250GS list.

Thats right if my VIP 5 got that kind of speed, I wont even post here lol

the speed test doesnt really should true speed somehow... I tested mine @ 5mbps/4mbps up. But when I torrent i am reaching 580kb/s sometimes.

Still think the RB750G RouterOS too good to ignore.

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

Cisco product range
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/solutions/s...ters/index.html

Data sheet
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9923...heets_list.html


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

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.

the different is about RM100 only. Mikrotik RB750G is about RM310. It still more powerful, but it's routerOS advance features dealing with command line base.

but still, the manage switch from mikrotik RB250GS is the cheapest of the cheapest solution. Nothing beat this one.

Just curious did you connect your FTTH BTU to the WAN port mapped with Vlan 500 tagging pppoe dialing like 615 or you are making RSV400 a switch?

Do you have any suggestion of router for pppoe over vlan? or these thing doesnt exist?

Really want a router like 615 with pppoe + vlan.

EDIT: the only other solution I can think of right now is swift my router to sit side my side with RB250GS, and turn another router to switch/ or add another switch in my room.

According to the RB250GS guide, this RB250GS job is only splitting the vlan, I am guessing it probably can support up to 2 Unifi Internet link, as it got 5 port to do the job, 2x BTU, 2xVlan500, 1xIPTV. Problem is not sure how to map those 2 internet link as separate link,atm i am guessing the forwarding tab in the Web UI.

Any router that can dial pppoe via RJ45 WAN port.

I am currently re-using my 3years old Aztech WL830RT4, it is about RM45 only, not a powerful router, more like a basic router but even all that it is still more resilient than the 615

for RM200, u might wanna try Linksys brand routers or the TL-link ones. I cant give u any specific models as I never use all these.

General rule of thumb is most RJ45 WAN port router should work.

Same here, but his budget is only RM200.

infact I still need comparison between its cpu with Atheros 680Mhz ones.

Dont worry buddy, I'll bring another RM140 during collecting my RB250GS in-case if that problem exist. I got 1 more unifi user under me that might want it.

Just make sure the details you PM are 100% correct. *double check lol

Happy that you picked Curve as Collection location quite near to my place.

I am curious does this 7.05 firmware work in other router, especially the retail version 615.

I dont have retail ver. 615, I was just suggesting
