After browsing the previous threads regarding Unifi, there are still some details which are unclear to me:

1. Can we replace DIR-615 totally, in which a powerful router with or without DD-WRT manages the VLAN tagging and yet able to enjoy IPTV?
2. If DIR-615 could not be replaced, according to rizvarp, can I use other managed switch besides RB250GS and Mikrotik?
3. If I wish to have dual setup, what router is recommended?
4. I would like to add a NAS (for example, DS111), how would my setup be?

Newbie here, hope could learn something over here, having an appointment with the installers on 31st December 2010. Thanks in advance!

Thanks to outdoorxplorer for enlightening me...I guess I had all the answer and figure out what to get...

So there is simply no way to use your own router as a Residential Gateway like DIR-615 where wireless access point, VLAN tagging are done by ONE device only? 'Cause I was thinking of buying another router to replace the DIR-615 WITHOUT the need of buying an extra switch like what recommended by most, the Mikrotik routers..

Guys, can I get a WRT610N with DD-WRT firmware to replace DIR-615, I'm still consider other alternatives rather than the TP-Link replacement, awesome though...score one for TP-Link...

Thanks for the info, how about DIR-825? It uses an Atheros chip...




Can I use OpenWRT as my firmware, can my IPTV be used?

Problem here.

Just few minutes ago, my DIR615 couldn't connect to the Internet, orange light on the WAN port, Huawei GPON normal, all lights are on, no blinking.

Couldn't connect to the Internet for HALF an hour, before that, around 9.00pm, DIR-615 even DC and could not connect to the Internet (orange light on WAN port).

Any ideas guy?

Hi, we lived near enough, I'm at Desa Parkcity, Kepong, the end of LDP. Aparently, it was a temporary outage of Unifi, service resumed normal at 10pm yesterday (9/1/2011) and now as I'm surfing....

Hopefully it wouldn't happen frequently...sigh...

Hi guys, I was just wondering whether I should enable QoS Engine and Firewall in the DIR-615 using the operator account, from the Unifi.Athena handbook, rizvanrp stated that Firewall may cause issues on torrenting and multiple connections. I did a test by enabling BOTH features in the DIR-615 and try torrent during this morning, results was poor. I could not hit 1.0 MB/s easily like I used to have using my VIP20, by switching the features off and did a reboot, speeds was back to normal, getting 2.0MB/s + on torrent.

Any suggestions? Should I enable the firewall for security reasons and how about the QoS Engine?

Can Buffalo WHR-G300N support IPTV by using DD-WRT firmware? From klseet guide, it can create vlan, but I'm not sure it can support IPTV....a little enlightment please...

Hi, anyone got working DD-WRT settings for WR1043ND ver 1.6 from TP-Link?

Tried the whole day without any luck...still no internet from that gateway as I intended to replace DIR-615 with this Gigabit Router WR1043ND...sigh....

I tried vlan2 tagging of 500 with prio 0, assigned WAN port to vlan2.500, leaving vlan2 unbridged...but it didn't work...

Should I play around with the MTU? Besides that, I noticed my DIR-615 has a vlan priority of 1, not sure whether it affects the setup....

Anyone running DD-WRT with this machine? Any favor would be nice...thanks...

Here are the screenshots of my settings...please correct my mistakes...new to networking...

You sure? ath0 is not refering to wireless??

In fact, by default, the bridging entry states vlan1 vlan2 and ath0....

Thanks for the reply...

Yes, after doing a factory default reset, I found that at the bridging table, br0 is bridge is to vlan1 and ath0, with STP disabled, and WAN port assignment is set to vlan2 by default...

I have set vlan0 interface as ath0 with id 500, prio 0, after that set WAN port assignment at ath0.500 and unbridged ath0, is that correct?

Can anyone post working settings, sorry, I'm really new to this and hope everyone can help me, I just need this WR1043ND to connect to Unifi...

Hard-reset as in 30-30-30? I did unbridged both vlan2 & vlan2.500...but it did not help, I noticed my DIR-615 has a vlan priority of 1, do I need to follow suit?
