Kemuning Utama area here UniFi down again after downtime from last wednesday to saturday.. What the HELL?

unifi at subang usj down again..
few days ago was down for 2 days..and now again!!!
@!%@#$^%%@#

hey guys, after waiting for half a year, unifi finally available at my condo. coming to fix on this friday I was wondering whats the mikrotek thing on the first page?

switch replacement? sorry for my ignorance but what is it actually? i tot the btu connect to the dir 615 router then i do vlan tagging to my custom router right? where does the switch replacement come in place.

thanks in advance

Guys, for the VIP packages, the STB is compulsory to be installed? I know there won't be any price reductions but what if I really don't want it, still have to be installed?

wait... i still have to pay for IPTV even though i dont touch it? o_o

any source for this news?

Anyone can tell me How to prevent Lightning Strike thru Fiber Optic ? How to protect the BTU unit?

i got a Belkin Surge Protector... I plan to use .. Is that adviseable to use that to protect it?

belkin surge protector didnt protect my router last time when there was a thunderstorm.
it fried my belkin n wireless router even though it was plugged into the belkin surge protector..

edit: plus, it also fried my desktop pc's motherboard at the same time it fried my router.. it too was plugged into the belkin surge protector.

1. Configure the DIR-615 as bridge mode, then you can use any WAN router, just setup PPPoE (like Streamyx). IPTV can still be watch through the DIR-615.
Please refer to Riz's guide at: http://unifi.athena.my/custom_routers.html

2. Get a MikroTik RB250GS to handle the vlan tagging for both internet & IPTV, then you can keep that DIR-615 as spare. You can use your own WAN router, just setup PPPoE (like Streamyx) and connect to RB250GS.
You may refer to Riz's guide at: http://unifi.athena.my/mikrotik_rb250gs.html or http://klseet.com/index.php?option=com_con...e&id=6&Itemid=4

3. If you are advance user and require more complex setup, then you can consider 2-in-1 vlan+full fledge router MikroTik RB750 or RB750G (Gigabit).
You may refer to: http://klseet.com/index.php?option=com_con...e&id=5&Itemid=5
Please note RB750/750G does not has WiFi, so you may need to setup a WiFi AP

4. TP-Link TL-WR841N ver7 - a complete 3-in-1 vlan+router+WiFi total replacement for DIR-615 !

Eventhough TP-Link has not official release the custom UniFi firmware, the latest beta firmware I've tested is working, few others also installed no problem!

wait, DIR-615, TM's giving that to us Unifi users too right? Getting Unifi tomorrow, they're gonna install it tomorrow afternoon. Or I'll need to get my OWN ROUTER?

Damn you bro  , should have post it earlier those geeks from Landasan sold me RM30 higher than 82USD.

Anyone guys, it cheap

I started with RB250GS, then RB750 & RB750G.
My comment:

For RB250GS
- almost no change to your current network setup
- just connect any of your current WAN router, change PPPoE user ID & password
- then enjoy !

For RB750/750G
- it's full fledged router gateway, advance users and complex network will appreciate this
- may need to change network setting to suite your current setup
- for junior (like me), need some R&D effort to setup proper firewall, port-forward, QoS, etc ....

For me, I still prefer RB750, I don't think i'm going to have over 100MB load on internet side on next few years, also it's lesser heat compare to RB750G.
For LAN speed concern, can spend another RM100 something to throw in a 8-port gigabit switch for LAN transfer/streaming!

sorry, I didn't quite get that, does it mean I'll get a DIR-615?

I am not sure what kind of power usage u are gonna be in. but I think the RB250GS more than suffecient to serve as a bridge if u have better router behind it.

Power users would probably more appreciate to use any commercial routers or RB750/RB750G or even RB450G. Its really depends on usage.
RB250GS = Basic replacement for DIR-615.
RB750 = Same price as RB750GS, but it is a full fledge router with tons of advance technical featurers using Router OS. Downside it has older CPU than RB750G and it is not gigabit lan.

RB750G = Same as RB750, just better CPU + gigabit. IMO power users would probably like this option.
RB450G = it is a next level of RB750G with 128MB RAM.

those RouterOS may sounds and look scary from setting up for average user, but with dummy guides from klseet, it shouldnt be hard. Right the only missing part is a dummy guide for port forward, QoS, filtering,firewall etc. It might get tricky for average user to try understand from Mikrotik wiki site.
