Spent half a day the next day to digest and understand rizvanrp's blog, and changed the DIR-615 G2 (firmware 7.09) to VLAN bridge mode to connect to my existing WRT54GL. I decided to try on method 2 without downgrading my firmware to 7.05, and it's working perfectly thanks for the guide rizvanrp ! Installed VIP5 sunday. So far ok but I got 2 questions: 1. Why is the speed using LAN cable is lower than using wifi? When I connect directly to modem via LAN cable, it register 100Mbps and when wifi it register higher upto 130MBps. Is it due to cable limitation? I always cable will always be faster. 2. The technician mentioned that if the fiber cable has too many bends (ie. more than 3), the speed will be slower or might face connectivity problem. I can't get the answer whether is it true in the internet. Anyone got any idea? Fred

The difference is that wifi speed can vary.. sometimes it may fluctuate to < 100 Mbps depending on your location or how much data you are transferring or how many devices connected or your neighbour's wifi interfering. 2. It is true that you should not bend fiber too much because it increases signal loss. However I'm not sure of the spec of the cables TM provides, but generally the bend radius should be at least a few cm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber Thanks for the info. So the standard LAN cable has its limit also no matter how fast is the broadband speed.

You may consider the RB250GS or RB750/750G if you want to re-rag or re-map ports. Well, whether it's beta or custom, that firmware is good to use for UniFi now I don't really bother whether it's released officially by TP-Link and/or certified by TM Assuming you are talking about the Huawei HG850a GPON for landed property, there is really nothing much to play around, it's TM's property, better don't around or mess with it. If you still want to go-in, do some search on past postings I have my unifi since April 2011, so far ok but I don't monitor the speed every day. I am suspicious whether TM guys really uses fiber optic from the TM box to the house because in my connection they pull a black cable from the TM box to a "connection box" before connecting a white fiber cable. I scrape the covering of some thrown black cable and found white metal inside. see my picture attached: Pic1 is the black cable (sorry blurry, snap with my h/phone) and pic2 is the external box. Does anyone know anything?

I subscribe the VIP5. so far whenever I test I got 4.5 to 4.9Mbps download and upload speed.
