IPTV works fine through switches. If you're connecting it to your existing wired network, what I'm guessing is .. IPTV utilizes its own private network on VLAN600 which is mapped out on port 4. You have a DHCP server running for your private LAN on your wired network, STB picks up the private IP from the DHCP server on your network rather than at the TM side and it doesn't connect.

You need internal VLAN tagging + VLAN capable switches to run IPTV + Internet over the same wired network.

u only connect dlink port 4 to the switch? or there are other port from dlink(1,2,3) connect to the same switch as well? if on port 4 is connected then the switch should be running on vlan 600 only. It should be able to transfer the vlan over. Are u able to connect to your PC using the switch port? By default u shouldn't since port 4 from dlink had been separated for other vlan 500 port, unless there are other port connected on the switch and running on DHCP server as mention from riz, then ur IPTV won't know how to get the exact IP from vlan 600.

very cool stuff... what's the estimated price for this unit?

Hey ASAP,

That particular switch is a basic layer 2 switch without any VLAN capability. You're probably going to want to look for a setup like this : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1733801

That setup utilizes the RB750 + RB250GS smart switch but it should also be possible with any other switch that has 802.1q support and tagged VLAN management options. They cost more than the standard switch you're using at the moment. Basically, you keep the IPTV traffic encapsulated in VLAN600 on your home network then untag it next to the STB + TV. Other users just use homeplugs so send the IPTV data around.

As for workarounds.. I don't think there are any other workarounds that you could perform on the DIR-615 router to enable you to use your current setup.
Lol nice seet

u just need to buy/get a switch that says "Managed Switch" .. prefer to have the word Fully/Full Managed Switch.. or a

"Web Smart Gigabit Switch" for tplink.. not sure whey their managed switch in divided into websmart n manage...

another keyword to search is "Supports Port-Based VLAN and IEEE 802.1Q Tag VLAN " on the switch...

please know as we dont know the product we do nt know how the configuration will be.. it will be up to you... to fiddle it urself..

regarding ur IPTV.. possible for SDTV but not for HDTV as i think unifi iptv channel is 8mbits top... and hdtv is already taking 8mbits

it's either the password you provide them during the registration or the password they gave u during the installation.

it's the same password for YourUsername@iptv
yes, u can use normal phone for BTU's line1, i have split it out and connected to 3 phones.
