want to ask about unifi installation.

based on unifi website, they recommend all installation devices (gateway, IPTV, Phone) to be near the TV.

if my computer located at my room, so meaning i've to access to the gateway using wifi? can they configure to use cable plug into my pc?

if cant, then i have to get a wireless devices so that i can connect my pc to the wifi router there. am i right?

... The phone is now running on VoIP. Voice over Internet Protocol. It needs the BTU/VDSL modem to be ON in order to function. Not like ordinary phone. You can off the router(dir615/tm RND/other router) no prob.
*
in other word, meaning have to switch ON 24/7 all the times?

It's not necessary to install all equipment near the TV. Like mine, the fiber cable is close to the telephone pole behind my house and there is a thing called homeplug if you really want to connect IPTV and your router placement is too far away.
Homeplug is the better option IMHO.
There is no way you can setup the STB with wifi adapter and as far as I know, you HAVE to connect it via ethernet cable. Use homeplug la.

do you mean that we need to purchase the homeplug ourselves?

Yes ... Homeplug you need to purchase on your own, it's not part of the bundled package.
I'll suggest to get a good homeplug.

Thanks. Will get a good homeplug.

The speed was normal this morning. I think it's slowing down again right now.

im using aztech homplug also. when u buy, it comes in 1 unit, so u must buy 2 of it sad.gif

do not forget that the homeplug that comes out from router must directly plugged into the wall socket
*
thanks for the info. i going to buy it tomorrow at digitalmall, section 14 PJ.

anyway, have one question. since the homeplug using wall wiring as a data transmission, wouldn't the neighbour be able to tap into our line (by using another homeplug) since all electric wiring connecting to one another housing (from main source)?

my house - whole row using same electricity cable (main) connecting to one house after another. e.g. house 1 getting from main source electricity pole, then it flow to whole row of the houses. just that it split the connection to each individual house like splitter. if one house power trip, the rest still got electricity. if main source trip, whole taman no electricity.

so is it safe to use homeplug?

Homeplug is not actually that "unsafe". Unless your neighbour steal electricity from your house else it won't happen( what i mean steal is that kacau kacau ur cabling and connect to their house then they use it but you got charge~". It depends on whether your house is single phase or three phase supply. If single phase, cincai connect also can. If three phase supply, u need to know which and which wall socket is on the same phase in order for them to be connected. Each house on a transmission line is actually separated from each other but they're under one big system (like the main of your street or your taman). One big system down, all down. But one small system(your house) down, other house still on. Parallel connected.
*
yes, my house consider parallel connect. so it is safe to use homeplug then?

I have one question.
Currently I'm using a phone number for many years.

When I subscribe unifi is it I have to change the old number?
or else I hv to pay rm20 every month to remain my old number?
*
have to check whether your current old number can support unifi or not.

like mine, old number are not register in unifi... only avail on 2nd quarter 2012. so they asking me to subscribe a new number in order to get unifi.

One question before I'm dealing with the contractors 2mrw.

I hv applied Unifi service & took VIP10 for my house usage. So my question are more towards the installation which took place 2mrw.

I wanted my Unifi fiber and cables to be done in d ceiling, but I'm worried about the cost. As far as I'm concern, there will be a series of minor drillings (2-3 drillings), need to get up to the ceiling (easily accessible) and setup upstairs for the FWS.

My question is, what is the price that you guys (based on your experience) paid for the installation. estimate figures are very much welcomed.
*
the standard installation doesnt cover the ceiling part. just a normal pulling the cable from outside to your house.

based on my installer, they said Unifi standard charge is RM300++ for ceiling (limited) and they ownself charging cheaper. so better discuss with installer and see.

yes, need to flash it into custom firmware in order to use it in unifi.

you can do it using the guide - klseet => TP Link TL-WR841N

or you can ask the seller to do it for you with minimal charge.

another problem faced by me now.

my installer came this morning and installed Unifi VIP10. But after the installation, I'm having a problem with the RG.

My PC somehow couldn't detect the Wifi connection but it only can connect to the RG when the installer manually setup the configuration. meaning instead of search-and-connect, he setup manually using Manage Wireless Network (Win 7). FYI, im using DLink DWA-110.

My WinXP laptop (old skool Fujitsu) didn't have any problem with this, but in order for my PC to work, it need to set to 9 wireless channel, but then it affected my laptop (in which it couldnt see the AP using WinZeroConfig).

Then, my dad's computer couldnt access the AP since it only up to WPA PSK. But, I believe WPA/WPA2 shares the same encryption, right?

I suspected either the RG was spoiled, or the Wireless Security Mode made this.

Previously, im using Streamyx, on DLink DSL-G604T, on WEP. All seems fine within that period.
*
it depend. sometimes older laptop cannot support WPA/WPA2 type of encryption (correct me if im wrong).

you can login to RG and do some testing.

1. open the wireless connection to WEP. test it.
2. set it to WPA/WPA2 mode. test it.

if WEP can work and WPA/WPA2 mode cannot, then either setting are not correct or the pc/notebook not support it.

you can login to RG using http://192.168.0.1 ... ID - admin and Passwd - <blank>
