This really depends. I didn't have one but quite a few reviewed that here. Some manage to get it working. Some won't even work. If you haven't gotten one, look at the "pass through" type. It is placed between the wall socket and extension. Where there's a socket on it.

Something like this: http://www.aztech.com/prod_homeplug_hl110ep.html

Not sure about the quality though. You might need to do some research and see how it goes. May have other brands having same design too.

Well i straight go for the gigabit one... which is the HL280 or something, i've heard from my friend who work on network industry saying the signal won't be that great, but for normal usage it should be fine.

u're rite i using chrome, bcos its the best so far as it doesnt have "error" loading on any site so far, where firefox & IE will always have (the small "!" mark on the status bar)

One question...

when not watching tv/online, do i switch those devices off, and off power switches?

modem, router, iptv thing etc

will these thing sort of like "too hot" if on 24-7

also, the tiny white fibre optic cable from the box to my house .... looks scarily fragile....

especially the contractor did not use a conduit (atleast in between cable thru wall surface) hopefuly long term no prob... when more familiar with this thing aredy, i see if i can give some protection to this cable or not

I have personally added conduit/flexible hoses to the fiber optic cable for extra protection.

I have added installed a stand fan blowing straight onto my routers and BTU for cooling. Worried they give way so the extra stand fan really helps cooling them down + my notebook.

I strongly believe an additional fan is necessary if you want to extend the BTU and wireless router life span. Once the warranty is over the BTU replacement is going to cost an arm and leg.

It's OK but just be careful with the cables and don't strangle yourself while you're asleep.

yea... today i notice the contractors team is not very well equip, ladder also dun have... have to borrow my other contractor's one (i am renovating house) so i just let them do wat they able to do

so u install those conduit urself? i may assign other contractor to come and run some.

the whole thing look sensitive & fragile, dun dare to touch it....

May you try do speedtest on IE and firefox then post here? I don't know why macam I'm the only one in malaysia having this problem. Same server, chrome 500ms, IE <20ms.

Basically, secure the power supply(surge protection) then you're nice to go. No worry of lightning strike through fibre. My modem and router are naturally cooled with the aid of tiled floor, never overheat. Just very very mere heat, like a few degrees higher than body temperature only. But i'm staying in 13rd floor, maybe that matters =)

Don't overbent the fibre optic. You might kill it. Up to certain level internal refraction won't carry on, data won't pass through.

I'm using the new 500mbps Aztech HL-115. So far OK, no probs. On 24/7 since 12/12. Whatever you do, don't get the HL-280, it overheats. Check Google for probs with it. If you plan to use with the IPTV only then the 200mbps HL-110 is good enough and cheaper.

BTU got lifetime warranty.

Hi guys ... just wondering if anyone has any guide for port forwarding? I think all of us are using the same router provided by TM right ? D-Link DIR 615 ? I checked portforwarding.com, don't have that model number.

What do we fill in for the private ip and public ip? And how to check whether a port is successfully open or not ? Someone mentioned http://www.canyouseeme.org/? Just go that site and enter the port number and enter is it ? If the result is :

Error: I could not see your service on xxxxxxxxxxxxx on port (xxxxx)

That means the portforwarding failed?

STB only 1 year

STB kaput you can online cannot watch IPTV
BTU kaput you cannot online cannot watch IPTV cannot use VoIP

Added on December 18, 2011, 1:30 amPrivate IP is your local IP a.k.a Internal IP, the IP you assigned to the particular laptop/desktop/devices to be port forwarded. Public IP i left blank. Public Port and Private Port are the same thing. Yes, use canyouseeme.org to verify.

How do you check the Internal IP ? Is it under network connection details "IPv4 Address" ?

Awesome

Thanks for sharing

Not sure whether you faced the same problem as me but heres a guide to bridge the Dlink Router and use your own router config. I needed to do this cause the crappy unifi router didnt support NAT loopback. To sum up internal port forwarding wont work.

heres a good guide which i believe is written by a fellow LYN member.
http://www.jerryching.no-ip.org/Computer%2...for%20UniFi.pdf

PS i just got Unifi installed for my folks today and gosh its fast, I reckon its even faster than the net Ihave back in Australia!

One question tho, Hows the 10mb/20mb package compared to the 5mb package? is there a major difference? Thanks.

OH yeah, can any1 tell me whether i got ripped? I paid RM1250 for installation. was pretty long tho, and was considered to be non overhead, "tucked" into the gutter.

Normally something starts with 192.168.X.XXX
but this is dynamic if you never setup anything. Dig into the DHCP settings in DIR-615 and assign fixed IP for your PC.

Login 192.168.0.1 ->LAN Setup->DHCP Reservation
With the assigned IP, setup your port forward. Give it a IP something like 192.168.0.110/ 192.168.0. 105 any numbers you like but I love to keep the number from 100 to 120.

Wow! A whopping RM1250. You shall be the record holder I reckon.
I got no idea whether you get overcharge though.

how is the tm wifi usb adapter reception like, is it worth getting it or better buy from others?

Hi all, I just had my UNIFI installed last Friday *yaay*. On the internet, I have no problem. Nevertheless, my VOIP cannot make any calls. There is a dial tone but when I tried to call any numbers, it gave a line busy tone. Are there anything that I am missing?

using IE

here at 2nd floor, connection status: Very Good

i guess i'll get better when am closer to the router?

yea am so bothered by the thin white fibre now piercing thru the wall, dangling...
