Yesterday, I configured TP-Link TD-W8960N; my favorite ADSL modem AP, to connect with Huawei BTU, for UNIFI biz20 package.
We just got UNIFI last week. As many of us repored here, the Dlink DIR-615 is just a nightmare... It just disconnected or cannot be connected just like that.. (Ikut suka hati saja), and need to reboot. How many times it needs to reboot in one day, especially in office envjronment, where we need to have very reliable Internet connectivity. BTW, I also connected it to main switch, for users who want to use ethernet cable. Wierd thing is, even the Wifi is 'blank' but, still usable on ethernet. I sniffed the wifi inteface in my GNU/Linux MBP, and not packet at all, even though I succesfully connected/paird to the Dlink 615 AP.
BTW, I have the TP-Link TD-W8960N lying around in the office, working as normal AP. Since the TP-Link model is a ADSL modem with 4 ethernet ports, I am don't think it can be used for UNIFI, but after few googlings, I am wrong....

This is a very special modem, where I can configure one of the ethernet ports as a WAN port.
Steps:
1) Enable virtual port
2) Setup ETH-WAN, fill up the info, and put VLAN ID to 500
3) Set it as a defautl gw
That's it. I reconfigured SSID same as the Dlink-615, switch off, diconnect the Dlink modem and put it aside as a backup modem...So, if something wrong with the TP-Link modem, just swap it to the Dlink modem.
Once I connected the TP-Link modem to the Huawei BTU, it connected to Internet after a few seconds,... and the rest is history...

I am very happy with the unit. After about 24 hours of usage, no problem yet, and hope it serve the purpose well.
Actually the modem is my first TP-Link modem, which I used for my Streamyx at my home. But, the phone/DSL port got problem after lightning strike, andm guess what, I bought the SAME model again, because I really like it. Since the 'broken' unit was not doing anything, so, I brought it to office and using it as an AP, a much relaible AP. Here we also have other modems, such as Dlink and Linksys, but, still the 'broken' TP-Link has better stability.
Thanks to KLseet for the setup's pointer.
