I'm also in favor of a NAS, a 1-drive Synology like I suggested in my previous post, they are great value for money. The software is mature and very stable.
It will pay for itself eventually, not noisy and no electricity like an old/dedicated full PC. The initial cost might seem higher, but its actually much lower in the longer run.
Its personal preference of course, some people think its ok to buy an RM300++ router then void warranty by flashing it to DD-WRT or something, but to me thats absolutely ridiculous! But again, its personal preference, some people enjoy the hacking and stuff, others just want products that work.  smile.gif
*
err... what the price of the NAS? Not gonna get a HDD at this momment since the price double up after thailand flood.
by the way, the asuswrt is an official firmware which had been release by asus which can be download from their official site, hence it's not a hacked firmware like what you had claim.

as for those hacked firmware, they still can default back to their original firmware to claim for warranty. smile.gif I am not here to argue about hacked or non-hacked firmware.. but just wanna get the best out of the buck that come out from my pocket.

for me, drayteck is definitely a big NO from me at the moment when looking at the price, I will jump up and down, which i will prefer taking mikrotik.. but again, i won't take mikrotik as I am just using is as a home base and i don't need to have those function which is more the a small enterprise, that is why Asus router come to my mind at first when looking at is price and features.

since I got no choice at the moment, i might go to NAS.. but hey, right now my asus seem to be stable up for a day, but just wait for a week before i really make up my decision. I might write a mail to KLSEET seeking his help on this matter since he got a wide range of contact.

thanks/

bro rattan,

i just wanna clarify 1 thing. Will unifi user get charge for making a miss call to handphone? I get charge a few times, not sure it's because of the miss call i made using the phone or other reason. Its sad that the bill never list any phone number that we called and charge!!

Even mobile to mobile, miss call will get charged too... You can try that. I think only homeline to homeline miss call won't get charged. Because when you call from one telco to another, they start charging you. Just what I think... Not 100% correct.
*
no really... using digi prepaid here... i won't get charge for miss call. but i can't confirm on the unifi..

as handphone is not consider as tm line, and if they charge they should list down the number and not just simply bill it to user and we have no idea what is the charge for.


even normal tm phone, we call outstation also they will list out the number and duration.

aint unifi running under the same roof with TM?? why they r so lazy to put it in the list, somemore it's one-billing now, which required no paper printing...

The NAS will set you back at around 400 depending on model you pick. There are many brands, but like I said if you really want a stable box get a Synology.
I did not claim anything about hacking. What I say is that some would pay RM250-300 for an incomplete product and like to get into a flashing frenzy, others don't mind paying RM500 for a completely reliable product, from day 1 of purchase.
It all depends on personal preference like I said. For me, my nerves and time are not free, dropping wireless and jumpy performance, or one day working the other not, all of that is too much man.
I pay RM149 for Unifi each month, I think I might as well just complete the investment and cash out for a good box.
By the way I paid rm480 for the draytek, isn't the rt n16 rm300++? And the rt n56 rm400++? I have no idea about prices but the difference is not really that huge.
I don't care about the VPN and the other enterprise features too, what I care about is stability, and this baby doesn't move an inch.

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to download torrents with the asus? Try using it as a pure router. Downloading torrents is a heavy task and most of these routers have small hardware not designed for these things. If you get a NAS let us know how it goes ya  smile.gif
*
thanks for your help. I just send an email to klseet seeking his help. Actually I don't really like a box with too many powerful feature as it will degrade the performance of the box itself. It's the same as the argument of getting a 3-1 modem router wireless, or just getting 1 pure modem, 1 pure router and 1 pure AP router... well there's pros and cons as well...

for the asus firmware, it should be a stable version as i downloaded it from it official site without the word "beta", finger crossed!

from the scenerio that i faced, i can only conclude it as
1. hardware problem
2. firmware problem
3. BT download from the box cause the chaos that i faced.

so what the price of synology that will fit into my environment. any link of reference so that i can read up more on the product.

digi to celcom? that i am not sure as i never really check my account. as i called and willget an sms notification of the duration and amount being charge, but not on miss call, unless it divert to voice mail..


Added on January 8, 2012, 2:05 pmdamn it goodseeder,

i think u cant change the unifi broadband passwd.. i try also and ask Unifi helpdesk and they said cannot change the password.. the password generated by their system.. we only can change item that not been greyed out..
*
the password cannot be change, but we can set it during the online application. i set mine. if you didn't provide them any password, they will just auto generate it for you, which is another SUCK term when it cannot be change!

streamyx can change, unifi cannot?? going backward???

guys,where does the ipty ethernet cable connect to?
i had new furniture come in yesterday,and after i plugged everything back in.The iptv stopped working.I tried the lan ports on the router and the modem.
When connected to the router,it says page cannot be displayed.
when connected to the modem it says network unreachable.
*
if u r using DIR-615 from TM it's port no 4!

only PORT 4...

other port sure fail...

if u r on other router, then u need test port by port, it should be either PORT 1 or PORT 4.

no difference unfortunately. i even chose the channel which doesn't overlap with my neighbours.

best practice is to choose channel 1,6,11

those unwritten channel will overlap with each other..

this is a standard for wireless networking

where did u read this infos? I don think is correct

then why put in router channel 1 to 11?
*
it's standard ...

please understand how wireless waves being transmit.

it's the same thing for internal IP and external IP...

definitely u won't see a single internal IP coming from external IP, but they are some non-tech ppl will use external IP for their internal IP, it's the same goes to wireless channel... best practice is to use 1,6 and 11. I don't mean u cant use the rest of the channel, but it will create more interference.

i lazy wanna google it up. u can try to search and proof that i am wrong. tongue.gif

Problem is if you stay in a high-rise apartment/condo, you'll have many neighboring hotspots also on 1,6,11. And out of no choice, I have to choose a channel which is least used, although it does overlap with others, but at least, it works. In my case, I am on Channel 4.
*
it doesn't matter if they are using 1,6,11... just choose 1 of those that have less congestion. if you chose channel 4 it will interfere from channel 1 to 6, hence getting more noise.... anyway if u r happy if the link, then just use it. smile.gif

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are wrong  tongue.gif

ALL channels overlap, 1 overlaps with 2, 2 with 3, ........ 10 with 11.

So in theory you are correct, if we are in a condo, and only three wireless AP there, then the best way is for each to use one of these, meaning one of the routers chooses channel 1, the other channel 6 and the last is channel 11. This way they will not overlap at all. But what if there are MANY others on channel 1 or 6 or 11? You will interfere.

So basically what you need to aim for is to stay as far away as you can from congested channels. If that means going for 4 or 7, go for it.

See this pic from a router "wireless survey", it scans wireless networks nearby, see the recommended channels  rolleyes.gif
[attachmentid=2639606]

Btw, did you buy a NAS? how's torrenting laugh.gif
*
not all channel will overlap... ch 1, 6, 11 wont overlap each other, that's why i said it's the best channel

there's a consistent graph on wireless... so choosing channel in between which is 2-5, we will get more interference as it overlap from ch 1 through 6, just depend on which getting more and which getting less noise..

it's better to use channel booster if we wanna go use other non-advisable channel. and again its depend on the setup and strong ur wireless box will be.

not yet get.... did some read up on dytek and found that they can do torrenting from the box as well... correct me if i am wrong
