Hi there!

My office just upgraded internet line from Streamyx to Unifi.

I unplugged Stremayx Router, turned off the switch, then plugged Unifi router to the switch and turned the switch on. I tried different ports on the switch and router but still have problem to connect to internet.

Do we need switch with VLAN support to connect Unifi?

Anyone can help on this? Thank you.

Cheers.

May I know what "switch" are you referring to?
You mean those UniFi contractor didn't test the connection for you?

Hi Klseet,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using Levelone brand's switch and model number is FSW-1650. Product information can be found from here Levelone - FSW-1650

The Unifi contractor tested the connection through direct network connection to laptop and it worked well. However, the contractor said they are not responsible for any networking configuration.

Currently, I am able to surf from WIFI and also direct network connection between laptop and Unifi router. But when I connected the Unifi router to my switch to share internet with all workstation. The internet just didn't work for sharing with workstations. My office networking is only simple Windows networking sharing. Only workgroup and no server installed.

My friend said that I need to upgrade my switch to VLAN support switch to be able to connect Unifi and share with workstation. Is that correct? Or do I have other choice to solve this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers.

It should works if you only using switch to share the internet. You only needs vlan capable switch if you wanna replace the router provided the TM.

The ip address is correct for unifi and old streamyx? If you using different IP than you need to change the IP in unifi router.. Lan section.

If you like to use dd-wrt, then may be can get a dd-wrt supported device, prefer Atheros or Ralink (eg, TL-WR941ND), flash it & create vlan.500 connect to the BTU's port1 for internet.

Then configure the DIR-615 as bridge mode per Riz's guide (set manual & disable the PPPoE vlan.500) connect to BTU's port2 to watch IPTV only.
Before using UniFi, do you use the Streamyx router as the main gateway DHCP & DNS, or you have other DHCP/DNS on LAN?

Assuming you are going to use the TM's router DIR-615 as the main gateway DHCP+DNS on your LAN, try to use dynamic IP for those computers, then connect the Level1 switch to the DIR-615's LANport1~3 should work.
