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

hey guys,

am i correct to say that we can get any manageble switch with 802.1Q VLAN? egress/ingress rules to/from the router wlan port?

data would be vlan id 500 right?

thanks you guys have been a great source of information

I am also using Asus RT-N16 for pppoe and ap functions. works perfectly, coverage for wifi is good (at least better than airport extreme). No issues so far after a month of usage.

Now I need to buy a .1q manageable switch...any suggestion?

knowing unifi ppl..two similar ids are possible (but very remote)...but 2 ids with the same password? come on...we are not STUPID!!!!

dir 615 replaced. eveything looks ok

hulu and netflix works GREAT!!!! now to setup her up in av room...superb unifi...(let's see how long it works...)

i am in the midst of renting a us ip server. will configure pptp vpn. confirm speed sucks at highmyass.com.....1.5mbps only. Fed up. I will keep you guys posted. I tried Hulu and Netflix with highmyass...it's watchable but halfway get "hulu detected your connection has slow etc etc etc".

hope for the best...

tried Hideipvpn proxy...HULU and Netflix cannot work..

if after this weekend cannot find vpn provide...i will set up my own server in US for VPN purposes...

does unifi throttle p2p? my torrents goes up to 978 kb/s and then go down to 2kb/s, it just swings from up to down. more down than up i am using utorrent on mac.

anyone knows what is going on?

Got the rb250 this afternoon. 8 pm, the whole thing was up. Follow http://unifi.athena.my/index.php?option=co...id=55&Itemid=67 to the LETTER and you will have NO PROBLEMS. REMEMBER upgrade firmware to 1.2.

I checked speedtest and ping test and everything checks out.

But when I surf (maybe it's me), I feel it's abit slower than the stupid DIR615 configuration. - i completely dump the DIR 615. Its now BTU -->RB250GS--> Asus N16 --> Cisco AP 1225G --> PC.

Things that I might do if I am TU LAN

1.replace the Asus N16 with a Cisco 26xx (the 2611 with FREE IOS) for establishing PPPOE connection
2. replace the Asus N16 with a Cisco VLAN Manageable switch - i know the 37xx does it, but it cost a BOMB....any suggestion people? for .500 tagging and un tagging.

Utorrent (MAC) is now at 1881 kb/s - not too bad - i am on VIP20

a big thanks to KLSEET!!!!

typo...it's a cisco 1252g dual radios. N16 radios are turned off, so it's a ethernet PPPOE dialer/router. the 1252 are a gem. does not saturate when i load her with 720p materials (using PLEX), most wireless ap i tried just saturate when 720p are loaded but not with this baby. 1080 materials are still a no-no ....still need a CAT5e cables - i am not sure whether I wanna wire my home with cat5e...maybe...just maybe....

any ideas to stream 1080 wirelessly?

Added on September 27, 2010, 12:06 amMoogle Stiltzkin - I am also quite interested in this home plug ethernet, can you stream 1080p through it without saturation? Does it work over a 3 phase wiring scheme? Purchase from? hehehe

thanks for your forthcoming answers.

regards
