Yes you can. Mine is install upstairs. Have you think where you want to put your TV or you do not need IPTV at all?

streamyx maybe going to be like unifi already on 2011 with volume cap, make no diff    TM sure know how to screw all of us

Yes, you can either use the Belkin in WAP mode or the DIR615 in bridge mode to the Belkin. You can also get a Microtik switch/router if you wish. Refer to http://unifi.athena.my/ for more info.

Not necessary, there are several ways you may consider, depends on your requirement/budget/setup :

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).

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!

For your current Belkin wifi router, you may consider option 1, for other choices, your decision!

Standard UniFi uses vlan tagging for:
vlan.400 - VOIP (by BTU)
vlan.500 - internet (by DIR-615)
vlan.600 - IPTV (by DIR-615)

Whether you require IPTV or not, you need to have a router which can handle vlan, at least vlan.500 internet.
The fact is those normal retail routers in the market do not offer vlan tagging feature, include your current Belkin.

So, you need to find a router which allow you to create vlan.500 for internet, got that?

I pay around RM130 (including phone rental, tax, etc) for 1MB Streamyx ONLY.

I pay around RM150 UniFi I get:
- 5MB down/upload
- Additional 8MB IPTV
- A dect phone with new number call any Telekom fixed-line nationwide FREE

The lousy DIR-615 already got alternatives, what's your concerns ?

why not  go use home plug?? i using now...i jus turn off the crappy wifi function

nope you won't be able to maintain that number for your UNIFI line.

they will give you a new number.

heck, even if you have NO phone lines at all, you can still install UNIFI if your area is under coverage.

You can terminate both line as unifi will give you a new number. Unless you really need to maintain that number and willing to pay the normal line rent to keep it.

Yes, get the homeplug for the IPTV.

RB250GS and DIR-615 in bridge mode do the same thing

Once this is all done, enter your Unifi username and password into the web user interface of your own router (not the DIR-615). The mode should be Dynamic PPPoE (if you're on Unifi home packages) and it should be setup the same way you would setup your Streamyx/Jaring/Other ADSL connection. If you did everything properly, it will connect fine
