I was still typing at v6 just now...

Happy Hari Raya holiday to everyone !

Ok, Calvin, I'll maintain it on the Excel and will update post here each end of the day, thx!



Anywhere, guys, this might be off UniFi topic, but I just want to share this really value for money TP-Link TL-WR941ND 3T3R Atheros 400mhz 4/32MB router which supported by dd-wrt:
http://www.tp-link.com/products/productDet...odel=TL-WR941ND

eventhough the official dd-wrt website didn't list this router, I've tested the latest BrainSlayer's built (941ND hardware version 2/3):
ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V...k_tl-wr941ndv3/
and it's working!

I've been using it for 2 weeks now and the result is definitely much better than my current Buffalo WHR-G300N in terms of signal strength, speed & coverage!

But be careful, this 941ND has several hardware versions, particularly the v3.2 which some cases reported where it cannot save settings:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php...r=asc&start=225
dd-wrt guru LOM confirmed that if v3.2 with "Intel 25F320S33B and dd-wrt can not handle that chip"

Actually I bought a unit few months ago at LY All IT Hypermarket at RM149, it was v3.2, recently I flashed with the above latest built and it works!
Recently I saw it at LY ViewNet [beside All IT] also v3.2, my friends bite the bullet and ask me to buy 4 units, confirmed can flash & working also!
We bargain a bit and the ViewNet sales guy Kelvin sold us at RM139!

So I presume those v3.2 batches sell here are supported by dd-wrt....
and at the price of RM139 for a dd-wrt 3T3R router, I think it's really worth the money man!

You mean you want to pull a Cat cable from RouterA[LAN3] to RouterB?
Is RouterA DIR-615 and RouterB your own?

Currently my setup as follows:
HuaweiBTU[LAN1] ----> WHR-G300N (see below)
HuaweiBTU[LAN2] ----> [WAN]DIR-615[LAN4] ----> IPTV

WHR-G300N[LAN1] ----> 8-port switech ----> computers/notebook/etc
WHR-G300N[LAN2] ----> [LAN]TP-Link-TL941ND ~~wireless access point~~ bridging with ASUS RT-N10 & Buffalo WCR-GN

Both routers are running dd-wrt latest built, RT-N10 & WCR-GN stock firmware.
The WHR-G300N is my main NAT/Firewall + DHCP, wireless transmit turn down to 1 (try to disable it)
TL941ND it's just a AP with firewall & HDCP turn off.

I believe you can do similar setup on the DIR-615 as the main router and either cable link or wireless bridge with another router as AP.

You mean those equipments at TM side or our BTU/router equipments?

Yes, ASUS RT-N16 is another good brand to consider but a bit pricey
I have a RT-N10 stock firmware currently running bridging mode use for Xbox360, but it seem like there are some wireless problem is runs on dd-wrt.

My RT-N12, originally bought with the hope to create multiple vlan tagging, still no luck of getting it to work:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=478309#478309
and dd-wrt guru phuzi0n mentioned that "as the wiki explains, the switches don't support VLAN's over 15"

However, they just confirmed that RT-N16 can do "Port-based VLAN's":
http://secure.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/VLAN_Support
So I'm really confuse now ....

This 3 models are Broadcom base, so you need to take note if you are planning to get for dd-wrt

Yes I connect 1 of WHR-G300N (A) LAN to TL941ND LAN (B).
May I know where do you keep the PPPoE profile? What's your ultimate objective for both routers?

Assuming you setup DIR-615 (say A) as main with PPPoE dial-up, NAT/firewall and also turn on the LAN DHCP, then you can connect it to your own router (say B) either through cable or wireless bridge.

If you use cable to link both A & B through LAN ports only, then B should setup as:
- AP mode, not bridge
- have a fix IP & gateway set to A's IP
- LAN DHCP & firewall turn off

If you intend to use wireless to link A & B, then B should setup as bridge or client bridge (depends on your router feature) and try to locate A and pair them together.

In my case, I use A (wireless off) for main control which will be on permanently together with BTU, and use B for wireless AP only.
So I can turn off B if I don't need wireless and I still can use my PC/notebook through A.

Btw, yes I can see all the routers since there are on the same LAN submask.

You should connect A's LAN3 to B's LAN, not WAN.
Assuming your A's IP is 192.168.1.1
You should give B's IP as 192.168.1.2 and gateway setup to 192.168.1.1
then all computers can see each other!

Btw, this is assuming you are using A PPPoE to dial, not B
There can only be 1 PPPoE connection.

Er, I'm not sure what do you means by "...it should work? Looks like I am going RB750G..."?
I thought we were discussing A & B routers? I don't know about RB750G at all so no comment ....
Ok I'll remove you from the list !

Yours is VIP5? If yes, speed not bad er!
Btw, your 941ND is it ver3.2? you run dd-wrt on it?

Bloodly ... you guys are so lucky man ... mine constantly around 5MB only ... TM really cap me gao-gao la ..

Not sure whether you are aware that TL941ND latest firmware TL-WR941ND_V3_100609:
http://www.tp-link.com/support/download.as...TL-WR941ND&h=V3

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?

Guys, I've just PMed you the actual cost & payment detail already, kindly read & act on it!

Sure bro!

For TP-Link TL-941ND, you may refer to my post & the correct dd-wrt download link:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=36218556
If you buy from ViewNet LowYat 3rd, look for Kelvin and nego with him, he can let go at RM139.
The last I bought was v3.2 and dd-wrt can support it.

Yes, you may configure the DIR-615 according to Riz's guide to watch IPTV only, you may also want to turn-off the wireless.
If you are using Huawei BTU and intend to flash the TL941ND dd-wrt, then you can even create vlan?.500 and connect directly to Huawei BTU for internet without DIR-615.

I have a N12 which is Broadcom flashed with latest dd-wrt, however I'm having problem to keep the WAN Port Assignment, so still unable to use this unit to dial internet at vlan?.500.

Compare this 2, I would choose TL941ND, it has 3T3R and it's cheaper than N12!

Unless there is buyer willing to swap with you, honestly I really hope there won't be any drop-out at this junction .....

Er, bros, this is not COD la, I'll have to collect from you guys first before transferring & place order with Soliton .....

I'll inform you guys earlier when to meet!

The link is for v4, are you sure?

If it's TL-WR941ND v3.2, then the correct link is:
ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V...k_tl-wr941ndv3/
use file "factory-to-ddwrt.bin" for 1st time flash.

That's right, if you have a Huawei BTU and planning to get another router and flash with dd-wrt [either Ralink or Atheros base], in the absent of RB250GS, you can configure as:

Huawei BTU[LAN1] ----> [WAN]dd-wrt router (create vlan?.500 & PPPoE dial-up) ----> computers
Huawei BTU[LAN2] ----> [WAN] DIR-165 (configure as bridge)[LAN4] ----> IPTV

Please read Riz's guide on how to:
Setup & create vlan?.500 for internet on your dd-wrt router, read the section "Setting up VLAN tagging and the PPPoE connection"
http://unifi.athena.my/index.php?option=co...id=53&Itemid=65
Setup DIR-615 as vlan:
http://unifi.athena.my/index.php?option=co...id=49&Itemid=61

Payment status update as of today 15Sep 2pm 52% paid already.

For those who has not bank-in, appreciate you could quickly do so before tomorrow 16Sep noon, so we can quickly remit & place order with Soliton within this week.

To be honest, this thing has taken too long and I really want to move-on and settle with it, also to be fair for those who had responded earlier & faster, therefore I'm sorry I have no choice but to either transfer to others or cancel your order if no payment is received by deadline.

Thank you for your understanding & co-operation!

Ok put you onto the Standby list!

Sure, include you in Standby list!

Before this, may I know how do you connect WGR614v9 and how do you compare after configuring DIR-615 as bridge?
Are you running WGR614v9 stock standard firmware or dd-wrt?

Didn't know this is how to see YouTube video speed info ...
I like to test using this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFSPW7cAlOk&feature=related
