Hi Guys,

I just done a step-by-step guide how to configure your Huawei HG655a able to support any router/wireless router.

Please read the guide below and give me some comment.. thanks

just get the custom TP-link firmware problem solved.... hehehe and it wont add more port mapping to huawei so the processor can concentrate on the 1 port....

just curious how did you obtain the user/pass for the HG655a for admin mode...

anyway.. i rather not touch the HG655a , just incase some shit happen then tm blame me ask me buy new HG655a cause its been tempered with hahahaha

for advance and technical users you can do it if you want.. if your noob and all i would advise againsts it

it is just a few clicks to configure it.. i think its even more steps for other solution. you can always restore the back to original if anything happen.

anyway its up to you guys whether to use this method or not..im just sharing..

Nice 1..

As for Alcatel-Lucent OTU (for fiber), I believe no webgui available.. The only thing the installer keying is by using the telnet and keying some kind of ID.. I believe the configuration for the router is downloaded from TM server.

wow... how so late u share it out, if not i no need sell my 1043ND

btw, just give a dumb to u to share a nice method.

Yeah, how dp you get the password? Anyway that's a good news.

previously my unifi having a lot of problem with VoIP.. the technician came to my house more than 5 times.. when i start to get closed to him and he reveal the login details.. actually previously i saw a forumer posted the login in UniFi thread i guess not many people realized that..

just an update.. i tested my IPTV it actually doesn't work.. the Set-Top-Box keep in my storage never been open before.. i've tried to configure the Set-Top-Box eventually failed..

appreciate anyone can test it for me by follow my instruction in my blog then plug the IPTV to BTU LAN1 Port..

Can share screenshot for ptm1.600? Must be something there..

Hello! , i have some problem ,

i suddenly reset my Huawei HG655a so i need to make sure my modem connect back using my unifi ID , can someone teach me how

You need to call TM,

When you reset the ONU, you will lost your VoBB configuration, i'm not sure regarding VLAN, i guess missing too?

Give TM a call, they will upload the configuration from their server i believe


Side note: If TM send new firmware directly to ONU, I believe custom configuration that we have done missing too right? TM send new version of firmware to ONU from time to time


Anyway as IPTV not working, something to do with VLAN 600, see where you tag it

This post has been edited by amirsubhi: Aug 12 2011, 09:06 AM

I just get a managed switch that can split the VLAN, no need to mess with the ONU and can use any router I like.
The VLAN capable switch is an additional cost tho.

http://www.stanleytiang.com <-- URL NOT FOUND!

http://stanleytiang.blogspot.com/

BTW, here I got Huawei HG850a and not applicable for the hack.

Have you try to configure the HG850a? I cant test it because I dont have one unless i use my customer's to test it..

by the way, this is not hack. is just settings..

Yes, I tried connecting to LAN2 in HG850a... No respond at all. I'll try it again, when no one is using it... I'll try at LAN1 with VLAN setup on my laptop.

I at my customer place configuring their firewall for UniFi. I too can't access to HG850a. I guess the IP subnet is different. So I got no choice to configure their firewall with VLAN tagging over PPPoE to dial the UniFi direct to the BTU.

Noob question here....

What advantages do we get by changing the router?

I sniffed the LAN2 using tcpdump for awhile and I got this...



I configured NIC 10.42.219.111 and ping and nmap 10.42.219.110 but no respond. Yeah, mght be it had been firewalled.

Need further investigation.

I know this post will not add anything, but I just want to show my support to you guys who are finding ways to allow users to have custom routers.

Great work there.

I am also a Huawei HG850a user here. I am really slowly getting ticked off by Unifi's own Router.

If you can get the Huawei HG850a to work with a custom router, (in my case, Netgear WNDR3700), I have to belanja you makan one day man..

LoL

We need rizvanrp for this. Where are you riz?

Hey lighter, awesome guide. IPTV should work fine with the config you've put up. Just follow the same tagging config but bind to a separate port for VLAN600 and you should be able to connect the STB directly to that port on the BTU.

Looks like VOIP traffic from VLAN400, may be a misconfiguration for port 2 on your BTU or that may be the SIP IP for your BTU and it's sending out ARP requests to every port. Check the source MAC to confirm :3 One issue with the Huawei HGxxx BTUs is that they tend to send out broadcast traffic on every port regardless of how its configured.

I only has fiberhome You guise lucky to have a huawei BTU with a web GUI lol

anyone tried this on Huawei Echolife 850a? I wanna ditch the dlink-dir650 as it adds another layer to my network.

So far only tested on Huawei HG655a.. hopefully someone can able to test on other model..

Recently my Huawei HG665a encounter frequent disconnection.. technician came over to replace a new unit of HG655a. This new one look slightly different than the old one.. somehow i feel the new one look more rounded and not really hot

today TM guy installed unifi for me, i saw he login the HG655a with username admin, but he refuse to give me the password.

and the password by this guide is not working, any crue?

try with different browser. It should work.

if it shows password incorrect after clicking the login button then they might have changed the password.

if the screen just refresh after clicking login button then its browser problem.

Confirm IPTV can work with the same way as above for internet. I now have internet on LAN 3 and IPTV on LAN 4

Only observation is that the HG655a modem may appear to hang and the GUI turns unresponsive after pressing "Submit" when changing the port for ptm1.600. The setting that was made would be retained however after a power cycle.

You may also need to power cycle the IPTV box if it doesn't detect the changes.

Thanks lighter for making this finding. TM's DIR-615 is now removed from my set up, saving some electricity and making the planet a little greener

Great finding bro! So you bind the port to LAN 4? Finally someone able to test IPTV for me. Really appreciate it I will update my blog and credit to you.

The BTU is actually not only a modem. It can be a router as well.. I can do direct dial PPPoE, NAT, Port Forwarding, DHCP & etc.. But I will not waste my time doing a step-by-step guide for this. I believe no one gonna use it as a router.

wat about the new alcate-lucent modem... i not getting the huawei model

As for Huawei HG850a, this will not work because TM has firewall(iptables) enabled to block access from local LAN port...

1) Set your local ip to 192.168.1.XXX/24
2) Connect to any local LAN port
3) Power Off/On HG850a
4) Keep refreshing your browser on http://192.168.1.1

you should able to view the web access login page for seconds before firewall is loaded then there goes our webpage/ssh(or was it telnet i forgotten about it)...

Just wondering how do the technician do the setting (1st timer) then? I am sure they also have remote access to the web interface to check the setting remotely.

They usually configure the modem and router they come over. Even it's fresh and new they just need to configure your VoIP login. Because the internet and IPTV are in bridged mode.

This post has been pointless, lol. rizvanrp did an analysis of it a long time ago.

DAMN IT. I thought this one was for HG850a.

I did some analysis on HG850a. Here's what nmap gives.

CODE

PORT     STATE    SERVICE VERSION

21/tcp   filtered ftp

22/tcp   filtered ssh

23/tcp   filtered telnet

80/tcp   filtered http

8011/tcp open     unknown

The device is set on IP 192.168.2.1 . port 80 is filtered. Either that they DISABLED the web interface, OR I need a specific IP that'd allow me to access it. nmap.org is down so I can't really interpret what filtered means in nmap.

EDIT: rizvanrp, if you're reading this, could you tell me the subnet of iptv again (PM me)?

EDIT2: A more thorough nmap scan.

CODE

Not shown: 1965 closed ports, 29 open|filtered ports

PORT     STATE    SERVICE VERSION

21/tcp   filtered ftp

This gets more and more interesting.

any chance if i can do the same for my ZTE VDSL2 modem?... if there is any possibility then my network layer can be lessen.. cause i want to use it with airport extreme. otherwise.. need mikrotik as the medium...

This post has been edited by neskafeice: Sep 5 2011, 02:23 PM

ZTE was the first VDSL2 BTU to be reconfigured for direct VLAN <-> port mapping sometime last year -- http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=35603950

@blindbox

What's on TCP 8011? :3

@thankyou

Did anyone try mapping out the firewall ruleset for the new HG850's? IIRC there was no drop rule running on it until recently. Is it a full drop rule or drop all but allow existing/established (in which case it would be possible to establish a TCP session via SSH/telnet and keep it running before the rules kick in)? Perhaps you could even automate the login with a script and hop into the shell + disable the ACL quickly..

This thread is getting interesting... getting rid of the dreaded DIR-615, I now totally despise the color orange and the digits 6..1..5.

Any updates on if this works with Huawei 850a?

Thanks.

one of the way is to get another unit, do a reset... then start configuring it from zero. If anyone can get the setting like our original unit, then it will works...

Other than TM ppl, I guess we have no chance to see the setting.

Nothing. If you remembered from your old post (try googling it), you already did try to find services on 8011. I tried ftp, http, ssl, https and telnet, nothing.... Any other tcp protocols that I should try? (I just remembered ssl and telnet are udps, of course they don't work).

TCP 8011 is just an open port. No idea how to use it.

All we know is that the HG850a has two IP addresses, one at 192.168.2.1, another at 192.168.100.1

Hmm I haven't done a wireshark yet on those IPs though. I'll update this thread as I come along.

NEW STUFF:

Well, I did a wireshark and *drumroll*, I found already-found discoveries. I figured the reason why IPTV doesn't work on any of the Huawei ports were because it's not sending vlan 600 to the Juniper server/switch/etc they have at TMNet. Hence, it can't read it. So ignoring firewall routing and whatsoever, you could probably put the d-link given by TM to one of the port and run IPTV there. So, port 1 > Openwrt/DD-WRT hardware not capable of IPTV, and port 2 >D-Link from TM > IPTV.

Well.. gotta test it now.

This post has been edited by blindbox: Sep 9 2011, 12:13 PM

im not sure are the testing you guys doing impact the IPTV or not.. cause i am not able to view anything on a stock IPTV here...

i am getting really bad choppy video here .... cant even see TV3 on TV

i don't care about iptv. Who want to watch those sucky channels?

I just want a way to get rid of vlan500 so that I can use my normal wifi router with it. Now I have another layer of router dlink615 just for the vlan.

if u get rid vlan500 then u have no internet access at all.. no?
if not mistaken, if u read from the 1st post, there is already a way to use other router.
'most' router can be used but minus the iptv.

the blog says IPTV still can be used, by connecting to HG655a's LAN port 1.

yes, do able.
u have to route the iptv vlan inside the HG modem.
but i think it will load the modem..
dont know about others, but my modem HG655a do run hot..

i down know if this might help

apprently 2 ports are open on the HG850a 53 and 8011

i reset my HG655a ONT without backup =.="
can someone teach me how to configure or restore back saved file config?

Huawei Hg655a >> Thomson TG799vn Gateway >> my pc.

Thomson? Are you a Maxis user?

Yes i am, i think fttb and huawei hg655a is a vdsl. i messed up with the vlan setting. please save/backup your configuration file and i try to restore it back. if u need password and the access is admin & hs5711Bbvl

My IPTV doesn't work despite following exactly what the guide says, any idea what went wrong?

Did you assign VLAN 600 to a different port, plug the IPTV into the port and turn off VLAN tagging?

And also, did you confirm that the HG655a configuration is correct? Mine hanged a few times trying to set that right.

Nope, other than those instructions listed, everything else remains untouched.
VLAN600 is bind and tag to Port 1 (this is the default and I didn't change this)
What other config on the HG655a that I need to look out for?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

You need to do exactly the same thing for VLAN600 as you did for VLAN500 but bind it to a different port - I used port 4.

I was the one who tested and informed the TS that this works.

This post has been edited by timothyc: Sep 26 2011, 01:53 PM

OK, did the same for VLAN600 as for VLAN500, VLAN600 now on Port 2 (Port 4 doesn't work), and everything works!
Thank you for the guidance, cool!

How about mine guys, my Maxis HSI used TM network access. I did something with the HG655a and also has been hard reset to default configuration settings.

After few days tried to set the VLAN id and finally i figured out Maxis used VLAN id 621 and i followed back Maxis used LAN Port 2. Now the problem is my VOIP doesn't work and my actual speed from 10Mbps dropped to 3-4Mbps UP & DOWN...

I need the more configuration setting to my HG655a and able to use VOIP and back to 10Mbps.

I called Maxis since last Friday and Maxis did call me this afternoon but TM guy will come to my house on this Saturday... If can I want to manage is by myself and learn more about this stuff.

Thanks in advance guys.

I was playing with vlan setting last night and now I can connect my IPTV directly to the Huawei HG655a. Thanks everyone for the guides.

so, no need to configure that Alcatel-Lucent OTU if wanna use different wireless router than that D-Link DIR-615?

You can use other wireless routers that are supported by unifi ( http://klseet.com/index.php?option=com_con...id=42&Itemid=39 ) without configuring alcatel OTU.

The reason we want to configure the OTU is because we wanna to fully utilize the OTU, since there are few available ports in OTU, it can do VLAN untagging job.

I wanted to configure internet VLAN and IPTV VLAN to map to LAN port 2 and LAN port 3, then I can make D-Link 615 as my second AP to serve first floor, but there is no manual for this OTU, kinda difficult to hack it without any documentation.

same idea here...

thanks

If i'm using RT-N13U Router Wireless-N Asus , i can connect it by replacing the D-Link router provided by unifi ?

I can't seem to connect it with my asus router , D- Link router hasn't got a good coverage !

Here is my setting to enable the IPTV on port 3 and RT-N16 router on port 2. I'm using latest tomato usb firmware and it doesn't support 3 digits VLAN tagging. Basically, any other generic PPPoE dialer should be supported. I didn't touch any other setting except shown in the screenshots.







Warning: Always backup the default setting. I will not take any responsibility if you bricked your devices.

Can this be done on the Alcatel-Lucent OTU ?

currently this method only works for Huawei HG655a model..

aisehhh..too bad..appreciate if any master sifu can do for Alcatel-Lucent OTU..

thanks

Hi,

I'm thinking of replacing tm's router with the Asus RT-N13U like in rizanrp's guide.

But will I still be able to connect to IPTV?

Thanks in advance for the reply.

Anyone tested which configuration is better? Un-tag the VLAN at modem compared to at router.

Not a problem.

Hi Lighter,

Thanks for the guide I managed to get into the home gateway and reconfig the port for my own router. However, upon testing for the STB it didn't work when I directly connect it's LAN cable on LAN1 of the home gateway. I just noticed that during the STB's startup it fails to get an IP addresss (the startup part where we see a yellow progress bar).

Any ideas how it can be fixed?

Thanks again for the guide. Accessing the gateway is a big help.

Hi Stanley,

My UNIFI modem is Huawei Echo Life HG850a. Do u think it's similar to HG655a?

Great work guys. Grateful for a solution on the HG850a. Would dearly love to get rid of the 615.

As mentioned in early post, TM may push updates to the modem sometimes and reset all the settings, does it really happen?

how to locate the unifi password?
calling the hotline, they won't give right?

I am posting in this thread because I been told by Unifi that I need to replace my router because it may be damage.
Okay my situation is I can make connection to the net with wireless connection constantly. The signal always drop. I am using the same laptop in my office and also connect using wireless Unifi and I don't face any problem.
Please take note, my iPhone connection has no problem. At this point I don't know what is the actual problem.
Here I hope I can get some answers;
1) what other alternative modem+router beside specified by Unifi.
2) with my situation, is my router damage?

Frustration...

Go to http://192.168.0.1 , username: operator password: h566UniFi
Then go advanced, advanced wireless, get the wireless mode to 802.11b/g/n or 802.11n only if all ur device support
And for iphone, change bandwidth 20/40Mhz (auto) to 20Mhz.

click save settings, it should work..

Hi All,

The password no longer work. I got my unifi 2 weeks ago. But I need to extract out my PPPoE password. Any other method? config.bin give me garbage using routerpassview

I am using Dlink 615 firmware 7.09

Guys i tried the method on this website
http://klseet.com/index.php?option=com_con...e&id=7&Itemid=6
But iCan no longer access the router after flashing.
Means its broken d?

If you didn't get the password list during your installation by the TM technicians, call the Unifi support line and ask for it. They will give it to you by email.

when soon i get my unifi BIZ package, can i just connect from BTU directly to my office gateway server?

my current setup for streamyx business package is like below pict :


what's default IP address for the BTU?
can I replace the BTU ip address if it's same with my current gatewat server ip add?

sorry if i posted in wrong thread

Usually BTU/ONT will use 192.168.1.1 (DHCP OFF) and the gateway (dlink white & orange) will be 192.168.0.1

If your client or access point using 192.168.1.xxx you can simply swap the BTU and GATEWAY ip range.

can i just change the BTU/ONT ip add, without change server/gateway ip range?
if the BTU ip can't change, need to do some re-setting office network (some pc using static ip setting)

for this time, from what i search, TM not allow user to login to BTU right?


This post has been edited by akuinsan: Nov 22 2011, 09:49 PM

Is it there are no password needed.
username: admin
password: <blank>

????????

Not the Admin, but the PPPoE. Anyway i got it from them, is so cryptic. Now I can use my cisco router and switch. Replacing all the TM equipment, except the Fiber BTU.

Who's care bout login to BTU?

is that possible to setup TM SIP protocol into your mobile phone SIP client so that we can do free call from our mobile phone instead of wireless phone that is provided by telekom

Don't think so.. The VOIP running on private network and not internet.. Unless TM setup SIP server on the net than shouldn't be a problem..

Hi, a noob question here....
Is this post guiding those who have router without VLAN support to be able to use on the HG655a? (just to confirm)
firstly, i tot that unifi can only use the router that they gave. Then I found this post.

I called the unifi and simply told them that I bought another router, could I change the DIR615 to my own router and do i have to do any extra setting? that guy said no and I can use any router as long they've VLAN setting ._.
sorry for the lame question. I'm just not quite sure and confused a bit.

Hey has anyone noticed any performance degredation after doing the VLAN untagging in the VDSL modem?

Im on the 20M connection and using my trusty netgear WGR614 v6 router that has been serving me well for many years with good performance.

However now that ive got the internet and iptv working using the technique here my speedtest to cyberjaya shows ping 22ms, download 18.06mbps, upload test takes forever to run and eventually settles on like 0.09mbps

something is wrong here.. i wanted better performance than the crappy dir-615 for playing Star Wars: the old republic - but this is much worse!

How do i do this for ZTE ZXDSL 931 DII?

I post my screenshots



Uploaded with ImageShack.us



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

In your tutorial, you remove vlan tagging. But in ZTE ZXDSL, there are 2 types. There are port binding and vlan trunk. Should i do this to both or only one?

Thanks for the TS for posting the details and modem password..

Changed the settings to the following and got both IPTV & Router/Wireless ( using Linksys WRT54GS on DD-WRT V24 )...

*** Finally the buggy TM's DIR-615 is out of the Unifi network without spending a single $$$ on new router... using my existing Streamyx reliable DD-WRT wireless router...

I removed all the VLAN Tagging on BOTH the port as I do not want to mess with the VLAN tagging settings on the DD-WRT wireless router..

Settings as follows for HG655a :-

LAN1 - Unused
LAN2 - IPTV ( no vlan tagging, vlan 600 )
LAN3 - ROUTER/PPPOE ( no vlan tagging, vlan 500 )
LAN4 - Use for accessing the router

Just configure the PPPOE as per normal connections...

Do PM me if you have similar setup and need my assistance...

Hi guys,

Anyone have guide have to setup Echolife 850a BTU? I found guide posted by Prodigy. But the problem is, when i try to connect using browser thru 192.168.100.1, i just cant get any connection.

Also, from another forum, i get to know that also, if you reboot the BTU, you will get 5 seconds time to be able to see the management webpage / telnet to logon, but after that, the connection will auto DCed and all back to no access.

Anyone know how to permanently able to connect to HG850a management page?

Thx

Anybody found a way to change the configuration for the 850a BTU?

The few seconds you can connect to the BTU is when it starts up and before the firewall kicks in. Don't think there's much we can do about that.

Anyone got the password for the Echolife 850a BTU?

Am using my office's 20mb at home which is subscribed to 5mb. Speed wont go beyond 7mb, I believe something is capped at the BTU.

Any ideas?

Yeah, speed is capped at the BTU. Can you still get the login page?

Mine internet and VOIP work but the IPTV doesn't work as according to this. There is no mention of ptm1.600 or VLAN600. Would U guys mind to share the trick?

So as mine, I guess probably due to the ptm1.600 or VLAN600

VLAN600 and VLAN500 are having the same settings?

Only my internet and the VOIP work as according to this guide , IPTV not working

Me too, the IPTV doesn't work.

I am trying to remember as I do not have the HG655a anymore...

Do exactly for ptm1.600 as you did for ptm1.500.

Make sure that the port binding for ptm1.600 is to a different port compared to ptm1.500 as you did for your internet.

For example.. if ptm1.500 is set to LAN 3, set ptm1.600 to LAN 4 only. Both ptm1.500 and ptm1.600 should not be binded to the same LAN port.

Turn off VLAN tagging as well for ptm1.600

Cannot be done bro. When trying to remove the VLAN tagging the HG655a says "The binding port must have VLAN tag".

Another thing, it should be IP bridge or PPPOE bridge for the IPTV?
