I have 1 noob question, what if the DIR615 died after the 1 years warranty given?

Can we just buy a router out there and installed?

Newbie in Unifi.
Just newly installed.

Currently the cheapest option is to buy TP-Link TL-WR841N/ND ver7.x, option 4 here

Lets hope we have more option when the time comes.

HELPPPPPP!!! i try subscribe online...if i choose from my existing number/address, they say my area no coverage. but if i try like as if i'm a new user, my area got coverage. stupid la their system.

i notice rite.....if i search for area, my area's address will show as USJxx/xm usj xx Subang Jaya.

but under my existing number, it shows as USJxx/xm Subang Jaya. So just coz their system repeats the usj, I cant register.

so what do i do now to get the 1 month free thing?

thanks,

What the requirement for the router enable to hook up with the BTU, apart from PPPOE?

I see little different with set up with streamyx

Streamyx : Modem --> Router (PPPOE) --> PC
Unifi : BTU --> DIR615 --> PC

the btu functions similar to the modem...

the dir615 has a MAIN FUNCTION APPLICATION TO UNIFI.. SPLIT the VLAN to INTERNET and DATA

the BTU actually got also SPLIT VLAN200 for the voice

you just need something to bridge out vlan500(internet) and vlan600(iptv)

any device will do.. but for me mikrotik does it best + tons of features

Thanks, it means basic requirement is to have a router that can vlan500
Biz 5 doesn't have IPTV, only concern about the internet.

I see in the BTU got VLan1, VLan2, VLan3, what is that for?

UniFi uses the following vlans:
vlan.400 = VOIP (handle directly by the BTU)
vlan.500 = Internet PPPoE (handle by DIR-615)
vlan.600 = IPTV (also by DIR-615)

Since you don't use IPTV, beside the 4 options, you may also consider flashing DD-WRT router, prefer Atheros, but definitely not Broadcom chip!

hi guys....

sorry i din read previous post....

just wonder

unifi vip 5 package....

did they cap the download limit?

thanks

ok, whether u like it or not... u need a LAN device that can do VLAN 500,600. The options is explained in my & other members previous post.

VLAN400 is handled by BTU alone so dont bother...

cheers.

wat if i put VDSL and router under TV and astro?

Any news when selayang area will be covered?

I had exactly that problem earlier, they put my house number as floor number also.

When you reach that page where u can click ur add and next, choose search again instead, then search like normal and choose ur address.




I emailed them and they called me the next morning to explain how to do it.

easy.just call tm (unifi) to settle these thing.
mine also had a same problem.

For VDSL should be ok, but I really don't think it's good idea for wifi router.....

Long ago I tried to place Buffalo WHR-G300N wifi router in between Beyond & TV, the signal somehow is really bad.
At first I though it was the router issue, then tested Buffalo WCR-GN, Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N, ASUS RT-N12, all having similar issue.
Then I tried to place it few feets away from Beyond & TV area on a cabinet next to it, then the signal become better!

Of these routers:
WHR-G300N (Ralink - same with TM's DIR-615)
WCR-GN (Ralink)
WHR-HP-G300N (Atheros)
ASUS RT-N12 (Broadcom)

I noticed that 2 Ralink is the worst, Atheros better, Broadcom seem less affected.
Could it be the chip, brand, design, radiation, etc ? I really have no idea .....

In addition, I also encountered few cases when I put my mobile phone next to Beyond box, the TV image disrupted intermittently when my phone ring.

As all these things somehow connect wirelessly, not to implicate the issue further, that's why I always put wireless away from other electronic items for better reception.

Anywhere, you may want to try both underneath or away, then let us know the result !

Just to share Biz 5

Late reply but, you gave me the wrong phone number. I actually called before checking again on Unifi's website. Anyway, today morning their website suddenly have my road name and address registered so I'll just directly apply online.

my result...netbook wif atheros N series received from dir516 router strong..
but my desktop use internal broadcam G series network adapter really sux...
i still crack the head to put gud fengsui for tht router..

welcome on broad bro.

Im also just got my unifi installed this Wednesday.

next question: have you terminate your homeline + streamyx?

its seems that, even you have ticked to terminate your streamyx + homeline in the unifi form, its will take 2 weeks to complete the process as advised by unifi call centre...

if you want a speedly termination, go to TMpoint is the only channel / way to effect the termination within few days.

ps: you have to return the Telekom phone set if you're terminate your old telephone line. (that if you wish not to keep the old number)

Anyone know how to set up the Set Top Box?

I have my UNIFI installed 3 weeks ago and I didn't set up the set top box because it will require a long wiring down to the living room from my room. Therefore, I've told the UNIFI contractor to just leave the STB aside first.

Now I realize that I can actually plug in to my monitor through HDMI cable. I just wonder can I set it up myself because I can't get through the login page.
