Both internet & IPTV no problem !
Testing still in progress, need further fine-tune with ASUS team, beta will be release soon, stay tuned.

My respect & thanks to ASUS team for their continuous strong support effort in making the very first Broadcom gigabit router to support UniFi, you guys really rock !

Strange, I remembered I've tested the N13U for at least 2 days and I don't have such issues.
Few things you need to re-check/re-confirm:

1. Use the latest custom firmware 8.22.23 & utility 7.28.2.3 HERE
2. Always perform "Factory Restore" BEFORE & AFTER flashing
3. Then setup as per HERE
4. Don't use auto channel, assign either 1,6 or 11 whenever possible; use 20MHz channel width
(Note: you may google for Xirrus application to check what channel your closest neighbourhood is using, assign at least 5 channels away from the closest. If 1,6,11 congested, for Ralink you may go 13 or 14)
5. For LAN setup, remember to enter the router's IP (eg, 192.168.1.1) as the gateway (default is blank) under DHCP
6. Try to assign smaller DHCP range (eg, from 101 to 150)
7. Try not to use the stock QoS function

It should work well.

Assuming you've flashed, setup, connect cables correctly, please go to the System Log to see more detail, it's quite straight forward you may see some detail there.

I just setup LinuxMint 11 LXDE on 1 of my old laptop with qBittorrent , play around with it and I got this:


The torrent is from HK site and this is the first time I get almost full torrent download speed from US .....
but my VPN and xbox360 is still suffering from the submarine cable issue ... really don't know what's going on ....

Generally I use this setup for most of the torrent client on my VIP5:

No guarantee full speed, lately my torrent up & down, not stable at all, could be the submarine cable issue.....

I'll test further on the Linux-base, I could be wrong, it seem to have better speed than my current uTorrent on Windows

I long time never join the Hub, my VIP5 just too little bandwidth ...

For TPL port foward, I think it's under the Forwarding -->Virtual Servers, click Add New:


Enter relevant information, click Save when done:


For torrenting, assign a fix IP to your PC/laptop and use higher port like 5xxxx.
Can consider uTorrent or qBittorrent software, both are good !

I just tested again the latest qBittorrent v2.9 on LinuxMint, seem able to get good speed !

Initially it download from local peers (notice the 110x IP, as I always believe it's good IP!), then suddenly the Korean peers arrive, notice the high download speed on that Korean IP .....

and it continue to download mostly from that Korean peer, not sure why .....




Overall i can get full download speed with low upload speed.
And the qBittorrent comes with daemon installed and can access remotely via web:


Really not bad, looks like I'll stick with the 512RAM old laptop on LinuxMint[LXDE]+qBittorrent from now

Just test ping from my VIP5

Seem to be ok

Yes, after waited for soooo long , finally it's here!

Both internet & IPTV no problem, still testing, stay tuned .....

Tested for more than 3 days, so far no problem seem to be stable!

Already getting quite a bit of requests, after discussing with the relevant person, I've decided to upload, you may refer to:

Since TM has not endorsed on other brands/models for UniFi usage (probably will never do so), please note the manufacturer has no intention to release it nor create confusion and misunderstanding here. The beta firmware is made on an As-Is basis solely for testing & training purposes only.

I only tested on my Huawei HG850a, appreciate other BTU/VDSL2 users can either email me (klseet@gmail.com) or PM me to confirm whether it's working.

Enjoy your testing this weekend, cheers!

Thanks for confirming the beta firmware works on TL-WR1043ND Ver:1.6
May I know what BTU/VDSL2 are you using?

Not really, as long as the device can support vlan.500 (PPPoE for internet) and 600 (bridge for IPTV)
Or, you may check out some option HERE base on your requirement+setup+budget.

If you are referring to RB250GS, then yes, you may use any WAN-base router gateway, just setup PPPoE will do.

If you are referring to RB750/G/GL, itself it's already a router gateway, without wifi, so you can use unmanaged switch to extend connection for other devices.

Not necessary, it depends on where it's your router gateway location & the STB for IPTV area.
If exceeded the standard, installer will charge you.
So it's better you plan your internal home network wiring prior to installation.

Yes, connection from the router gateway to STB is Cat cable.
Yes, I think it's better you plan your home network location & wiring prior to the installation.

The STB is connected directly to the RG's port with vlan-tagged 600, I don't see there is a need for a switch in between.
Please take a look at one of the replacement option HERE ,depends on which model, I normally attach the connection diagram at the bottom for better understanding.

Btw, what do you mean by "the first router gateway", is there a second RG?

If you are using the RB750 and wish to extend both internet+IPTV to another section, you may refer HERE for some idea on how to trunk both vlan.500 & 600 over a single Cat cable (credit to JinXXX), either using RB250GS or TD-W8960N on the other section.
