Should not be a problem to delete them. I'm using Mikrotik router and have to create vlan 500 and 600. I certainly don't have vlan 209 and 700 and everything still working fine.

By your question above, I think you were thinking that UniFi is same as Streamyx. Unfortunately it is not, they don't use phone line to connect from FTB to BTU (aka "Modem") for landed property. They use VSDL modem only for high rise building.

I don't it is that simple for you. How big is your phone box? TM could probably pull the black fibre cable from green DP and out thru your phone box and mount the FTB beside it or inside it if your phone box is very big with lots of space. Then they need to connect the FTB to a BTU using white fibre cable. If you plan to have the BTU and Router in the family room upstairs, TM will need to pull the white fibre cable from FTB to your family room. How easy for TM to pull the white fibre cable from your kitchen to family room? Is there existing conduit? If not, there would be some hacking and drilling by TM contractor.

Do you have a phone pit inside your kitchen before it goes to your phone box. It kind of like a small manhole on the floor. If there is none, there is also potential of blockage in conduit due to construction material. It happen to me when the fibre cable unable to pass from the pit to phone box. They hack the floor and let fibre cable come out from pit onto the wall instead. Fortunately the pit is in my store room and not kitchen. Look at that potential as well and plan for alternate solution.

I'm using this particular Mikrotik and the wireless signal is not very strong but better than DIR-615. Read about it as well, try google. This maybe due to internal antenna. So not sure if it will meet your requirement. It has a connector that you can attach an external antenna to it that might boost the wireless signal.

Maybankard2 online payment will count posted date instead of transaction date and posted date might not be weekend. Let us know if it did actually work as I'll use it as well. Currently paying using OCBC with 5% rebate anyday. Thanks.

Ya,noticed that too. Lack of sports channels has been achilles heel for Unifi. Hope this will be the beginning of more sports channels.

Free only from 15-9 to 15-10.

Yes, the stock router cannot handle the bandwidth. I experienced the same thing and dc simply went away after I replaced the router with better one. Before that I need to stop torrenting completely in order to play online games.

We now have four Hypp Sports HD plus FOX Football. Unfortunately none are showing other popular sports like badminton, tennis, squash etc. Mostly football and I'm not a football fan

Your problem is probably simpler than it sound. I assume you also have LAN cable from TV area to your master bedroom as well. You need to find the nearest point of entry for fibre cable where you also have a a network port. You might want to sacrifice the network port at this location and place the BTU here. Use this port to connect BTU to RG at your master bedroom. From there, use your existing LAN cable to distribute to other rooms. Place the IPTV at TV area and connect it to IPTV port on RG in your master bedroom.

You can play around with the network design here. Just need to remember that BTU connect to RG using LAN cable. RG connect to IPTV using LAN cable as well but on a special IPTV port on RG. If you need extra network port on RG, just buy a switch and connect to one of the RG network port. You cannot mix IPTV and network because they are on separate virtual LAN (VLAN) unless you use VLAN trunking method (ie spend more money).

Added on October 4, 2012, 7:27 amI installed BTU in my store room at the fibre entry point from underground. RG is located in my family room cum network center where my 8-port gigabit switch is located. I trunked both network and IPTV VLAN to my living room where the IPTV decoder is located. I trunked them so that I can connect my media player at living room to the network as well since I only have 1 LAN port there.

I'm using it for a many months already. Mikrotik is not for newbie as there are lots of stuff to configure and klseet.com steps would not work right as-is for this model.

If just to save electricity, don't bother as the ROI is several years. For every 10W your device consume, it will cost you about rm22 per year, assuming TNB charge at 25sen per unit. If you spend rm150, it will take you 3 years ROI for a 20W device.

Google DNS is working fine here in Seberang Prai, Penang. Can access all sites including xxx.

There is a scam going on to get you upgrade to 10 or 20mbps. A telemarketer called me up yesterday and said there is a special promotion to upgrade streamyx or unifi to higher speed. It is now free instead of having to pay rm200. It will be done within 30 mins. They thought I'm stupid enough to not know that there is no upgrade fee.

Be prepared to get very technical when getting Mikrotik as you need to configure everything yourself. Have been using it for quite sometime and very reliable. Instruction from klseet would not work as is for wireless model, some changes required. Also need to create your own script for updating DynDNS as there is no option for it. Quite challenging to setup but the thing you can do with it is up to your imagination.

I'm using MikroTik RB751G-2HnD wireless Gb router.
