Matrix bro, how is the TL-WR1043ND ??? Good ???
I am also planning to purchase both the devices u purchased...including TL-WN812N

TL-WN812N for desktop

Dlink DWA-140 Rev 1.3 for WDTV

and TL-WR1043ND as the middleman

Any comments?
Tks.

I haven't test yet...will only test the performance with my Aztech 150N tonight...but i bet it'll be sucky...300N barely enuff, much less 150N...

I'll post the results later tonight.

As for the USB WIFI adaptor, i found a good review for the ASUS N13

http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/3441/asus...ter/index6.html

So far, i haven't found any good reviews for the DLINK DWA-140...only some bad comments. So i am leaning more towards the ASUS.

Maybe if you find some other reviews, pls share.

ASUS...awesome...unfortunately, can get WDTV compatible Asus N13 in Penang
Will try searching some more...already searched 1/2 of Penang !
Garage Sales also don't have ... maybe i missed some, but can't find.

Sure sure...will await ur test results...i can't wait for the finale on the whole setup...

Thanks bro. u have been kind...

Just download this,extract and place in the root of your usb

http://wdlxtv.com/download/1.02.21_WDLXTV....IVE-0.4.3.1.zip

WDTV should detect a new firmware and just update it.

For the NFS share, I think you can actually use it with the official firmware as well
But I'm not really sure how you can get WDTV to detect those shares.

You have searched for it?? I just went to a few shop just now....and found 2 shops carrying it. The problem is, THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL WHAT VERSION IT IS. The WDTV chart list as ver 1.10. But those boxes don't have any indication of what version...(unlike the TPLINK, which shows the version). One of the shop even open the box for me...cannot find any version number anywhere....*sigh*...dun dare to buy already.......

Maybe i go to Digital Mall next few days and search.

Added on December 13, 2010, 5:08 pmThanks bro. I'll try to update the firmware once i fix the wireless streaming...one at a time...later too stressful....haha.
For me, i just on the TVERSITY to stream in the PC server. Then the WDTV Live will show PC-NAME:TVERSITY in the menu...no need configure anything...so i just select the folder and files only...

Yesterday also very stressful for me...configuring the TPLINK router/wifi to my Aztech modem/router/wifi....configuring a router/wifi to a modem is straightfoward, but 2 routers is different story...spent 3 to 4 hours on that....if any of you guys have problem fixing router to router, pls ask me...

2 routers? I thought you were only using one
Hermm, I wonder how difficult it is to configure that
There's plugins option available once you've installed wdlxtv
So you can just download directly using your wdtv, be sure to have usb device plugged coz that's where all plugins are stored.
I recommend [SVN] Tools Menu,MediaNavigationV3, SubDownloader, CDManager
Some are not available, so you can just get the plugins here

http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewforum.php?f=48

With [SVN] Tools Menu, you can change the background for your wdtv, change sheet mode and other options.

You mean i need to have a hard disk/thumb drive plugged in with free space?

Yep i got 2 routers..the old one is Aztech modem/wifi/router. The TP Link has no modem, only router/wifi. So i need to plug TP-LINK to the Aztech....the main mistake i made was connecting the TPLINK WAN port to the Aztech modem/router. That is only meant for pure ADSL modem only. I should connect from normal LAN port to LAN port, disable the TPLINK DHCP and treat it as a WIFI AP and Gigabit Switch. All DHCP is from the Aztech. Somemore i screw up the Aztech modem, and then forgot my Streamyx password and have to call those incompetent fools at TMNUT to reset my password....haiz....it was NOT a good day...

Yes bro, went to so many...4 or 5 shops...everyone carry D-Link, Linksys, and TP-Link...no one carries Asus adapters. OMG !!! Yes yes, TP-Link has version numbers...Asus doesn't? So not cool. I too dare not buy. Thats the only reason i got the DWA-140...because it is the only available adapter from the list that WD provides. There is a TP-Link, a compatible one, but the version is 2.0, and WD has tested version 2.2...so can't buy that one too. But i need one more adapter...and was searching high and low for Asus....cannot find !Well...lets see...hopefully u find the same one with the same version number.

The shopkeepers were amazed and puzzled at the list i brought along...ha ha !

Lets hope for the best !

What i suspect is ..if there's no indication...usually means ver 1.0....no revision number...
Btw, ur DLINK DWA-140...is the version number specified anywhere? All the TPLINK i saw now is version 3.1....

Yeah, the shop assistants were puzzled too...."What version number?? This is usually latest version!!!"...haha.

Yeah, you'll need that
Good thing you can use a usb hub with wdlxtv
LOL, that's exactly the same problem I had when I first setup my wireless router.

Good News!!!

Just watched Alice in Wonderland....1080p 8.3GB file....watched for em...20 minutes++ NOOO LAGGGGGG!!! Woooo hooo!!! Tears almost stream down my eyes after all those hard work (and $$$$ spent)! I've even fast fowarded 10 minutes during play...still no lag!!!

I am using the cheap RM19 Aztech modem i bought earlier.....will do more testing later.

Keep watching this news. Brought to you LIVE by Matrix....hehe..

Yes bro, version no was published on the box, and thats the only reason i bought it.
Wow, KL all 3.1, Penang many shops still 2.0 (clearing old stock?)
I also think the very same, that the Asus maybe a v1.0, but its a close to RM 100 risk...

Added on December 13, 2010, 8:18 pmWWWWWWWWWWWWaaaaaah !!! U give me hope...using TPLink Wifi? would love to hear the hardware...RM19 N150 adapter did the job ?
I have some hope now, all will be well

Bro, congrats and Kudos U Rock !!!

Well I did say it would work well with 8gb files
Time to amp it up with bigger file size and bitrates

Yeah, but your TPLINK is N300...my Aztech only N150! Btw, i want to ask, the firmware and version of ur TPLINK modem router.

Mine is like this: (Under the firmware upgrade menu)

Firmware Version: 3.12.2 Build 100820 Rel.41891n
Hardware Version: WR1043N v1 00000000

I've flashed with the lasted firmware from TPLINK website....but why the hardware is WR1043N and not WR1043ND? Is yours the same?

Added on December 13, 2010, 9:48 pmMore Updates:

Avatar Extended Edition 1080p...16GB++......watched for 1 hour plus, very smooth! It only lags a few second in one part, dunno why, maybe my server running something. Not sure.

Some HD Documentary 720p...2GB+......no problem

Youtube=no problem.

The Ultimate test:
30GB++ uncompressed Pirates of the Carribean = Finally the N150 is beaten...it'll lag and buffer every now and then. I guess this is one file that really needs N300. Hey Alucard, have u tried such files before in your setup?

Verdict:
For my purpose of watching mostly 8GB movies and sometimes <15GB movies, it pass!! Finally, the dream of a wireless networked home streaming HD movie is a reality! Look ma, no cables!!!

I think i'll take my time to hunt for a N300 WIFI adaptor. Vikas, this WIFI adaptor is only RM29 currently (normal price). Ok, gotta go enjoy more streaming now.

Same like yours, never really bothered with TP Link's firmware version
I tested it with N150 too, not Aztech, it's Oz Technology.. ever heard of it?

Haven't try bdiso/bdmv files yet, I do have some bluray movies
But I'm just too lazy to rip with AnyDVD..

Alucard: The b-rad firmware u posted earlier needs id and password. Also, is this the latest b-rad firmware?

I saw the latest 1.03.39_B here. Which one is better?

http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2058

That's actually for WDTV Live Plus
So just go with the previous firmware
Here's another link

http://ul.to/llqpie/1.02.21_WDLXTV.COM_WDL...IVE-0.4.3.1.zip

Anyone knows where I can easily find the digital cable? Planning to connect the WD TV Live straight to my home theater system via the digital cable.

Amazing really. Enjoy urself bro...deserve it after all the trouble. ))
Noted bro. Will share my joy when it happens with you all...

Rock On
