I don't think homeplug itself is the problem. It is in the network itself.

I m using TP-Link homeplug.

In the wifi router itself, there are 2 network profiles, 1 for data, 1 for iptv. If you plug homeplug to one of the lan ports in the wifi router, it will only connect to the internet. if you connect to the iptv port then you can only get iptv, it's separated.

So to solve this problem instead of connecting the wifi router to the BTU, i connect home plug to the BTU in 2nd floor. 2nd homeplug i connect to the wifi router WAN port in ground floor. Then i connect iptv to the dedicated lan port in the wifi router.

It solves my problem for now

So in short i only have my BTU and phone on 2nd floor and my wifi router and iptv is downstairs, connected to my tv.

I believe if you buy another router TP-LINK etc u can solve this problem? I'll read more from athena website

How are you connecting your homeplug? i m curious how it works. Because my case if i plug home plug to the router, it cannot find the ip address for the IPTV. Maybe the new black RG from tmnet setup differently?

I am aware of the different IP settings if you were to plug your cable to a wrong LAN port on the router. In both cases, the LAN cables were plugged to the homeplug on the correct LAN port .... one type did not work and another worked.

I cannot remember the actual specs of that cheaper homeplug. I don't understand how can this happen myself.

Trust me this is not the case.

So you mean you just plug the homeplug to any of the lan ports and both ur internet and iptv will work?

That's weird. I just found the admin password for the black router and there's no special settings for the iptv.

Which homeplug are u using btw if u don mind telling

Thanks.

No ... a misunderstanding there.

If you plug the cable to the LAN4 (aka IPTV port), you can only use it for IPTV. And likewise for other ports it can be used for surfing only.

Oh then it's the same case for me.

If i plug into the iptv port i can only get iptv. I thought i can bypass that by plugging LAN1(normal internet) and LAN4(IPTV) into another hub. Then plug homeplug into that hub.

But then same case, the internet works, and IPTV doesn't. If i unplug LAN1 from the hub, then IPTV works again.

There seems to be some clashing on the network.

But now i just plug wan into homeplug and it's working without problem.

Now i wonder if i plug another homeplug into the wifi router can i use another homeplug in another room? will it clash with the WAN?

hmm...

some noob info, probably u guys already know.

for the IPTV STB if its on before the router is up..it not able to get the IP and hence cant connect to IPTV even though u wait for the router to be up...so u need to restart STB box..hehe

so router and modem must be up first then only on the IPTV to put it in another way.

is unifi active the 60GB cap limited already ?

what its mean by dat? extra charge for overuse or cutting the speed?

hi everyone,i know this is not really related to unifi,but.....

i applied unifi months ago and i terminated my streamyx somewhere around 07 June.to me surprise,they still send me bill asking me to pay for rm110+rm4(local call which i didn't make).
anyone face such problem before?

i went directly to tm point there to terminate.my streamyx bill date is usually on 7th everymonth

did u call streamyx whether ur termination request has been processed? sometimes they will send the bill bcuz the termination not keyin to their billing system yet. so u must know when is ur effective date and wait for the last bill.
the last bill should have credit i.e -xx.xx amount which they should pay back by cheque..

i recommend calling TM every now and then to make sure they really terminate your line which is what I did. too many horror cases. My collegue need terminate 4 times only they stop sending the bill..

i didn't call streamyx because i thought it is safest to go to tm point to terminate.i didn't know that they are so bad i'm gonna call them tomorrow morning to argue with them

wanted to know if they will charge me any call fee if i call to 100?

100 should be free i think. u did it right by going to TM point.. calling streamyx after that is just to follow up..just make sure they process ur termination

dun wan to find out after 2-3 months still pending

really lesson learn.haiz.last time terminate dial up also not so ma fan.same procedure also.

hope they won't give me lots of excuses and want me to pay the bill.

24 hr passed by after installation... so far so good.. the torrent speed is awesome at 300KB/sec..

Dear all, what does it mean by unifi packages free 1 month subscrption? i just called the agent and he said it's just a gimmick, still have to pay 1st month subscription. only that it's not advanced payment. we use for 1 month only use?

does it make sense?

thanks

what package you using now? if VIP5...you can get around 500kb/s if i not mistaken

it is up and down as usual.. but to hv at 300k avg is great..only 30 min or less to download a 700MB movie.. last time took 2 or more
days mah..

Lol... It's "Awesome"

Only for first month is not advance. The first bill include first month+2nd month advance.

300k average only? ur torrent not healthy enough. Now download 8GB FHD movie like last time download 700MB file on 1M streamyx xD

Because the IPTV and Internet uses different VLAN, an extra step will be required if you would like your IPTV to be connected through a homeplug. For all the computers using the Internet with a homeplug, you can just use the auto-setup feature commonly found in most homeplugs these days. For IPTV however, connect it to your computer and use the provided utility by the manufacturer, you will need to setup both the homeplugs that will be used for IPTV to be on its own private network.

Reason is if you don't separate this way, both VLANs for Internet and IPTV will clash and that's why the IPTV won't work.
