hi guys..

just to share with you my experience of configuring my rb750 & rb250 so that
my tv downstairs connected via homeplug can also connect to the internet so that my xbox/network media player/ps3 can online

this is how the network is....

and this is my RB750 configuration

the reason the dhcp is sitting on the bridge Local so that both ends can get the dhcp traffic

while my rb250gs configuration is
PLEASE NOTE THAT BY DEFAULT THE RB250GS IP IS 192.168.88.1 WHICH IS SAME AS THE DEFAULT FOR RB750
SO CONFIGURE IT SEPARATELY THEN ONLY CONNECT THEM

somehow i feel that this isn't a very efficient configuration method, i might be wrong and this might be the only method to configure it..

hope this will help some of you with unique.. problems like me.. and happy cny holidays...

here is the rb750 cfg in case you wanna see it in details..

To be honest I still have no idea how those checkbox "from port X" works in the Forwarding tab in SWos RB250GS.

I just ticked all and it work flawlessly with my RB750G as router, RB250GS as switch. But I still interested to know how it work. Someone can explain that to me please? tongue.gif

actually the "forwarding" tab is like a cross flow path..

if you check port 1 to port 2 and 3... then port 2 and 3 can communicate directly with port 1 and vice versa...

cause sometimes you want to split ur switch to different segments based on port you can use the forwarding section..

hmm that makes sense now... but well kinda pointless for a 5 port switch for spiting dont u think? tongue.gif

if u split into 2, u are into 2 +3 port segment. so if u have 1 port router for each segment, that leaves u 1 left for one of the segment and only 2 on the other. more like a bridge to me now if u split into 2 tongue.gif

There's quite alot of ppl very interested on the settings on the both device.

The RB250GS is very clear already.
Kindly post up the settings for Th RB750G.
Just needing the ADDTIONAL STEPS after the basic settings as the as posted at klseet's site.

I just got my UniFi two weeks ago and I've almost exactly the same setup. The only different is your RB750 router is my homebrew gentoo box. Seems to work very well but took me the whole week to figure out how to replicate the functionality of the RB750 on my gentoo box. I'm curious though.

gentoo box ? using an old pc ? isn't the power consumption a little higher than those little specific routing boxes ?

unless ur making ur box a NAS/BT downloader and etc etc multifunction then its only worth it for my opinion

I think the complication is not your setup but with the VLAN thing TM implement. However, it does seem that many ISP that provide IPTV in other country does the same thing. So maybe it is a standard. Who knows. I've done extensive research into the VLAN, IPTV thing while trying to configure my router and know for sure one of the Australia, ISP implement VLAB for their service. I think the only way for you to make it simple is to have two home plug pair on different ID, then you can remove the RB250SG. But using more home plug network tends to complicate things on another front. It is my opinion that your setup is perfect. tongue.gif

I'm using my old P4 which does contribute quite a bit to my electric bill but well, it is the center piece to my home network and yes it does more then just routing. Besides, it let me do unusual thing like VLAN and bridging. LOL Having full control is a wonderful thing. Also, I did remember you wrote in some other thread that you do need to reboot the RB750 once a week. I can keep my router up indefinitely, especially useful if I go on long business trip and the home network will stay up while I'm gone. Don't want to be getting support calls from wife when I'm working abroad. wink.gif

BTW, can I ask how come you need to reboot once a week your router?

oh that was the initial stage, when i was setting up to, rebooted cause wanna make sure the everything performs at 100%..

now days.. didn't even touch it already, uptime is like 1 month plus, the only time it reboots is when there is a power trip.. else its smooth sailing all the way.. to terabyte heaven ....

Humm... OK, I will keep in mind that the RB750G is a viable option for me in the future. Thanks for the info.

@klseet,

looking at your guide, you mentioned using the TD-W8960N. Does that mean that it wouldn't work for the TL-WR1043ND? Reason being I would want Gigabit access for my from my PC (in room) anc NAS (next to my TV).

hahah .. great to be able to help.. just borrowing from /k/ aren't u a little slowpoke ? aahhahahaha

its good for those that have networked media players/xbox/ps3 and so on.. smile.gif if its downstairs you can even throw in a wireless for a solid wifi signal down stairs and upstairs smile.gif

oh just saw ur guide, you used it with "TD-W8960N" well that would be a better options as it has WIFI build in

since rb250gs is kinda hard to get ....

Yah, I also saw your posting even at MikroTik forum months ago, back then wanted to try out but no time ... recently want to trunk to hall via 1 LAN cable, that's why quickly search your posting again ! tongue.gif

I tested on the TD-W8960N is just to confirm it can also work, beside I don't really need gigabit and it has wifi also, another option for others to consider smile.gif


@ADJ
To achieve this objective (meaning to trunk both IPTV & internet over 1 LAN cable from the RB750), the devices must be able to handle vlan tagging at port level, eg the RB250GS, TD-W8960N or others.

At this moment the TL-WR1043ND does not have custom UniFi firmware (yet) and it can't handle vlan tagging.

so technically speaking, I would be able to use the standard DIR-615 instead of the TD-W8960N in this setup?

If you are referring to JinXXX's vlan-trunk with RB750+RB250GS, I doubt you can replace the RB750 with RT-N56 as it does not have the feature to tag both vlans over a physical port.

On whether can replace the TM's DIR-615 with RB250GS, not sure, you have to find whether it has the feature to untag both vlans from a physical port.

The RB250G it's just a vlan tag/untag device, it's not a router gateway, I doubt you can setup PPPoE session on it.

Hi klseet,

I am planning to have the similar network as JinXXX but for the down stair I would like to replace the RB250GS with DD-WRT running on WRT54G/GS/GL (this WRT will not run as Wireless AP with VLAN tagging/trunking of VLAN1 & VLAN600).

Added on January 6, 2012, 6:44 pmUpdate...

I am able to achieve the following using Mikrotik RB751U-2HnD (PPPoE client) and Linksys WRT54GSv4 (with IPTV). I put the Mikrtotik RB751U-2HnD upstair where my BTU is installed and Linksys WRT54GSv4 downstair. Both Mikrotik RB751U-2HnD and Linksys WRT54GSv4 is connected using TP-Link Homeplug.

At upstair I have PC connect to Mikrotik RB751U-2HnD via wired and notebook connect via wireless.

At downstair I have media server connect to Linksys WRT54GSv4 via wired as well as UniFi IPTV and notebook connect to wireless.

My simply diagram as below: -

UniFi BTU Connect to Mikrotik [Port1] --- Mikrotik RB751U-2HnD ~ Connect to BTU [Port1] ~ PC [Port2 to 4] ~ Trunk [Port5] --- [Homeplug] --- Linksys WRT54GSv4 --- Trunk [Port1] ~ PC [Port2 & 3] ~ IPTV [Port4]

I will be sharing the complete setup. rclxm9.gif

Does it mean when trunk down from Mikrotik, we need to use VLAN500 & 600 for connection to BTU as required by Unifi

My question can it use VLAN 1-15 range for vlan trunk from Mikrotik to WRT610nv2 ddwrt router?

Sure.. Just bridge vlan 600 to said vlan 2.. Than trunk vlan 1 & 2 down to WRT610nv2.

Hi Guys,

I know this topic is a lil old. But I got to share some of my crazy findings.

During the weekend, I pulled out my STB which I have not touch before since UniFi is being installed (for almost a year).
I wanted to find out what is in store for the HyppTV, So out of itchiness and curiosity I read your posts and found some idea to play around with the STB.

This is my current home setup

Attached Image

HyppTV worked! *But on conditions sweat.gif blush.gif

1. Let HyppTV run before plugging in the Internet connection LAN cable from PfSense to the Switch.
2. Keep HyppTV on at all times, to retain the IP address given by the DIR-615 VLAN 600 (IP is 10.x.x.x).
3. Both Internet and HyppTV can work along side, even without any additional Managed VLAN switch in the room.

Forgot to mention that the DIR-615 from TM is configured to run on VLAN Bridge as thought by Rizvanrp, sourced from KLseet.com (THANK YOU!!!)

My next idea of upgrade would be to get another Managed VLAN Switch for my room, so I can separate the VLAN 600 out from the switch, so I do not have to unplug the LAN cable from PfSense before turning on HyppTV STB. biggrin.gif

Hi guys,

I am also trying to setup this configuration (1 ethernet port having VLAN500 & VLAN600), but unsuccessful. I am trying to set it to port 4 (instead of port 5). Problem is i am not getting an IP address on port 4.

Port 4 is connected to an Asus rtn13 router (has been config to NO PPOE and use automatic IP from WAN). Please see my attached screenshots and advise.


thanks

Maybe I was confused with this picture, https://forum.lowyat.net/uploads/attach-97/...-1296103466.gif

I thought by setting the bridge to DHCP server, I would get an IP address over the bridge (and also Port4 as it is on the bridge ).

So, are you saying I won't be getting an IP address on Port4 from Mikrotik ?
I need to set a static IP on my Asus (e.g. 192.168.88.100) ?



I tried that but I couldn't get internet access after that. Here's my settings on Asus.

I am using Mikrotik as router (this is connected to Unifi).

The Asus RT13 is connected to the Mikrotik router. It is to extend internet + IPTV to another location.

I am trying to setup pretty much what you have here :
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...post&id=2017663


So, the Mikrotik will have its own network (lets say DHCP 192.168.88.x) and Asus will have its own network (let's say DHCP 192.168.1.x). Asus WAN connects to Mikrotik ethernet port with fixed IP (e.g. 192.168.88.2). When I setup like this, i am able to access internet on the Asus.


As for IPTV, that's a question on how to setup.
