Problem frequency:
Problem description: wanted to replace the default unifi router (orange-white box.) Modem dafault, white tower like.

Any one tried to config this router with unifi? My problem is, when i try to setup thru the wizard setup, it keep on showing the WAN setting is wrong.
WAN type only has 3 option;
- dynamic
- static
- pppoe

Choosing 'dynamic', it requires me to insert the MAC address.
Choosing the 'pppoe', needs me to keyin the unifi account.

Both failed.

I have confirmed the unifi account with the call center, nothing wrong.
Internet no issue, as when i plugin the default router back to modem, all is ok.

i follow the guide over here and i success use with unifi vip 5

hi funfunks,

thanks for replaying. my unifi modem are not the normal black color box. It was changed by them to a white color tower-like modem. Doesnt the steps still the same?

i m not sure about that, i using the black modem to mod

does that router support Unifi ?
i meant,support those VLAN tagging and everything
DIR-615 is not like any other ordinary router out there.Eventho it's a crappy router, but the main purpose of it's are to control those VLAN tagging and everything.
so u have to make sure your router supports the function
and also, you cant just simply plug in your BTU & STB RJ-45 cable on any port as each port are assigned with their own VLAN .

hi,

If the WDR4300 is not possible to be use with the ZTE(white tower) modem,

then would be it possible that, i disable the unifi default router (Dir-615) and have the WDR4300 hook up with it. Using the WDR4300 to transmit the wifi?

ZTE modem -> Dir-615 -> WDR4300?

maybe u try a look this

http://www.azim.my/unifi/

maybe can help

hi,

The box doesnt have any info of this router support unifi.

Anyway, im thinking of other plan to make use of this new router. (bought rm250 )

Would it be possible to have the setup as below;

ZTE modem connect to DLINK DIR615 and connect to TL-WDR4300 ?

Im thinking of diable the wifi on the DIR615. And using TL-WDR4300 to transmit the wifi.
Im not sure what needs to be change in the config; both router.

if u wanna try

ZTE modem connect to DLINK DIR615 and connect to TL-WDR4300 ?

u plug the lan cable at dir615 lan port and wdr4300 wan port, set wdr4300 using dynamic ip will do, no need extra configure

hi

No. Im not connecting 2 router to ZTE modem.

Its;

Modem connect to D-link, D-link connect to TP-link.

Single way.

Turn off the wifi on the D-link. Enable wifi on the TP-link.

D-link wont be use for any internet connection except from TP-link.

i know that,

previously i do like urs mention

terminal (port 1) -> dlink (wan port) and dlink (port 1) -> tplink (wan port)

dlink turn off wifi, but still use as pppoe dialer,
tplink change from pppoe -> dynamic ip

then it will automatic connected to internet once dlink success make the pppoe connection

Added on July 31, 2012, 5:11 pmu can use the guide over here,

http://www.azim.my/unifi/

i success make my company zte unifi terminal to connect using a non-unifi compatible hardware firewall router by the guide in that website just now

This post has been edited by funfunks: Jul 31 2012, 05:12 PM

Is that means it can be work?

just to make it clear;

so its, modem port-1 connect to d-link wan port, d-link port-1 connect to tp-link wan port ?

what kind of ip range that i have to put in dynamic setup for tp-link ?

any ip will do except the range use by dlink

eg, dlink use 192.168.1.1 mean that 192.168.1.x range cannot be used.

hi,

last night i tried.

Modem - no change
d-link - i untick the dhcp
tp-link - i plug the cable from d-link port1 to tp-link port1.

i start up the tp-link, i can see the wifi name. But when connected, it still no internet.

did i miss out some steps?

Here is my suggestion: -

Modem: Don't change anything
D-Link: Don't change anything except configure your DHCP to lease IP from 192.168.1.21 to 192.168.1.50
TP-Link: Read below.

1. Connect TP-Link Port 1 (remember its not WAN port) to D-Link Port 1.
2. Set your TP-Link LAN IP to 192.168.1.2 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1
3. Disable DHCP in TP-Link.
4. Connect to TP-Link Port 2 from your notebook/PC.
5. If step 4 can get IP, you can connect to TP-Link WiFi.

thanks!

i will try this out tonight. Hope it works!

if u wan port 1 dlink -> tp-link port 1, the dhcp need turn on at dlink and not tplink or no internet happen

hi rootlinux,

it works. But the wifi signal is not that strong. In there a config in the tp-link that can boost up the wifi signal?

Cool...it works for you. To boost your wifi signal, try placing the tp-link to a best place or you can purchase higher dBi antenna.

You may download this inSSIDer to verify if there is any wifi channel interference.

bad news.

i have to remove the tp-link. as i notice that the line drop intermittently and not stable. Although the speed is ok but the internet drop.

I change back all the config back to square-1. Now, im having issue of the speed only about 4mb.

haih.

Hi all,

First Gabriel thanks for opening this thread. Have you managed to get the tplink router to work?

Guys,

I'm now facing the same problem right now.

Modem is the 850 Huawei, and router is l7.

When using tp link router above iptv can use. But not Internet!

Using the wizard to setup - still no Internet.
Using manual setup courtesy klseet still no Internet!
Called tp link tech support seems they are not familiar with Unifi.

Appreciate if any body can help.

A gazillion thanks in advance.

One more thing, using the latest firmware on the net.

This post has been edited by memini: Feb 20 2013, 10:06 PM

sorry, i'm not use this model.

Thank you.

hurm...i'm planning to use this router but from what i see here, still a lot of problem, can i still have iptv if i were to use this router?

hi guys. i just bought tp-link wdr4300 and using the 850 modem as well. i plugged in all the cables etc and setup the router.

stock firmware is 121226. i couldnt connect to the internet. but then i flash it with 121106 .login my unifi id, setup 2.4ghz and 5ghz, wait a few minutes and voila.

iptv and internet works like charm. wifi range and speed increased. im happy with this router.

there's no need for you to flash custom firmware. hope this helps

Thank you for ur sharing.....

either 121126 or 121106 both are working. confirmed by today 27th May 2013

the only problem is 5ghz band wifi signal is weak to penetrate walls etc compared to 2.4ghz.

other than that, wdr4300 works perfect

not working for me... is there anything to do with Clone MAC for Wan?

where to get firmware 121106 ? thanks b ro

here you go bro. but anyways, the latest 121226 firmware works for me now. im using the latest firmware which is 121226,no problems occurred http://www.tp-link.com.my/Resources/softwa...1_121106_my.zip

122226 not working for me, router status shown connected but no data received . can share you setting ?tq

first of all, u need your unifi id and default password. login to the router web management. just click quick setup and choose unifi mode. enter your unifi id and password. next next next next and you are done.

hi i am not able to run on the latest firmware downloaded from TPlink website. but the one you given to me.. 121106 really work like a cham... thanks bro

tq bro

So that means newer firmware doesn't work with unifi anymore?

Hi,

I bought TP-Link TL-WDR4300 last week, replacing the aging but still nicely working TP-Link TD-W8960N; which being used since Streamyx era.

In addition, I am also using 3x TP-Link's 8dB antennas, and TP-Link HomePlug TL-PA211Kit. The Huawei HG850a unit is at upstair's living area, and the HyppTV decoder and Panasonic SmartTV Plasma are at downstair's living hall. The HomePlugs work nicely in my setup.

TM *fiber* HG850 -RJ45- PA211 ++house electrical wiring (3phase)++ PA211 -RJ45- WDR4300

Both 5GHz (11an) and 2.4GHz (11n) are enabled. Smartphone and laptop are using the 5GHz network. BTW, the 5GHz range is limited and the coverage is not as wide as the 2.4GHz. Wish it has more TX power.

I upgraded firmware version to 3.13.32 Build 130612 Rel.83937n, few hours ago.
The latest firmware updates add Maxis HomeFiber support.

http://www.tp-link.com.my/support/download...4300&version=V1

Comments and wishlists.
1) More TX power, for wider coverwage.
2) VPN link feature which is available in TD-W8960N. At least. basic PPTP is enough
3) The LED's blinking indicators are not as 'accurate' as TD-WD8960N
4) SSH administration.
5) Performance wise, seem to be better than TD-W8960N and easier to configure.
6) OpenWRT and DDWRT firmwares are available for the unit, and hope someday I want to try them . For now, I am satisfied with the factory's firmware.


Notice where I put the antennas

Thank you.

Hi, can you help me a bit with TL-WDR4300 ?
I just got my N750 TL-WDR4300 today and I spent a few hours configuring it up
But I still can't find the Guest Newtork options

Cause in official Malaysia Tp-Link site wrote:
5. The firmware supports Guest Network and IPv6 function.

I am not using "Guest Network' feature, but, I also cannot find the 'Guest Network' feature/page in the setup's page.
Why not try the WPS feature, which is quite easy to use.

Thank you.

HI,

I just bought the N750 TP-Link today and also faced the same thing. I even called UNIFI support thought the problem might come from them. But I've download the latest firmware and upgrade it...Now everything works fine...but the 5GHz signal is quite weak.

http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download...ersion=V1#tbl_j

Try it out..

Amy reason why you guys don't seem to prefer wdr4900?

wdr4900 support unifi meh?

if 4300 support, shouldn't 4900 support it too?

really meh? have u tried?

This post has been edited by firdausbhari: Jul 14 2013, 03:50 PM

this seller seems to be sure about it
yeah, maybe its not so clear from his answer, but he could have just said no...

im not sure bout that but i dont think wdr4900 firmware supports unifi. or does it?

TL-WDR4900:

To be safe look at the simulator/emulator

http://www.tp-link.com/resources/simulator...R4900/Index.htm

Click at Network.
If it does NOT have VLAN Setup, then, it is CANNOT be used to replace uniifi's DIR615.

Example from my WDR4300.


If you browse TP-LInk Malaysia (www.tp-link.com.my), the is no Unifi mode mentioned.

Thank you.

yes broooo. thank you. this is what im trying to say haha. its firmware does not support unifi.

I'm using the same version of firmware as yours.
Everything is working perfectly.

I've been wondering, how on earth did you stick those antennas to the back of the LCD TV?
Are you using double sided tape?

can call to Hotline Support to ask.

Doutble tape ? No.

The TP-Link TL-ANT2408C 8dB antenna comes with magnetic base which I able to stick the antenna to the back of the HDTV, which is made from metal.

Ref
http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details...del=TL-ANT2408C

Damn, too bad my LCD TV doesn't have metal back.

Let's look at behind of the HDTV.


But. the 'metal' also can be a problem because it MAY absorb or deflect radio wave. Anyway, I don't have coverageproblem, because,......

I am using the Unifi's D-Link DIR615; which running DD-WRT firmware and run as 'Repeater Bridge' mode; and changed it's TX Power to 200mW, which provides coverage for upper stair.

Thank you.

Bro i using the TL-WDR4300 router, after i upgrade the new firmware 3.13.32 its doesn't connect to unifi, how did you did it ?? Perviously in wan menu i have radio button to select wither normal or unifi mode, if i use select unifi mode it work normally. But for new firmware i cant select unifi, normal , or maxis as they stated in the website.

3.13.32 which build?
I'm using "3.13.32 Build 130612 Rel.83937n", it works perfectly with UNiFi.

Or you may try the: TL-WDR4300_V1_130613(VLAN)_My from this website: http://www.tp-link.com.my/support/download...ersion=V1#tbl_j

Thanks shawty, i figure out the issue ready, after i upgrade the firware when i try to restore the setting from my pervious firmware it doesnt work.. i have to reconfigure everything to make it work again. thanks

Anyone know how to boost the wireless signal, it terrible wireless signal on this router. I just get 2/3 bar or 1/3 bar of the signal and the router just beside my room only.

anyone upgraded stock antenna to 8dbi antenna?

So the solution is to download the firmware? I bought the TL-WDR4300 as well because the promoter said it supports Unifi (even had the 'Supports Unifi' sticker on the box), but when I finished setting up the router, the wireless network can be detected and connected to, but there is no internet connection.

I spent hours trying to do just anything but then I gave up and switched back to the old router and now I am here, finding solutions.

Is this router can support IPTV?

Yes.

I bought this router and use for 7 days. It was fine all 7 days, suddenly there is no Internet connection this morning. I check, reset the router, redo the quick startup. The wan indicated it was connected, when i try to ping google.com it took forever. I tried to redo quick setup again, it failed 2nd time to connect to internet. Then, i brought up my old tm given router dir-615, plug in, and it works perfectly.

Guess i got a lemon unit and need a replacement. Anyone facing this problem?

Hi guys. I'm no networking expert but I would like to share my experience using this router on UniFi. I bought myself a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 just yesterday due to the unavailability of Asus N16. The 1st thing I did upon unpacking was to check out it's menu and all then proceeded to upgrade it's firmware.

This is where I did a mistake as the international firmware is not the same as the local "UniFi supported" version. Upon installing, I lost the option to set the router to "UniFi mode" and also lost the "VLAN ID" assignment option. Noticing this, I re-installed the firmware "TL-WDR4300_V1_130612(VLAN)_My" from HERE.

2nd mistake was during the firmware upgrade, the progress bar was meant to run twice but for some reason, it hung on my Chrome. Then I restarted my PC and the router together. After that, I keep seeing Time out due to PADO error in the router log. I almost assume this as a lemon unit until I did a hard reset (via the button) then restore factory default via browser and then re-install the same firmware stated above all over again. This time, the progress bar ran twice (1 for installing the firmware and another 1 for restarting the router). Upon completion, I ran the quick setup and key in all the necessary details and voila.

I got this instead of the PADO error:

Hello guys, i just bought WDR4300 , have done all the setup n its working but my PING for BF4 jumping from 10ms (with TM router) to 110ms (with WDR4300) . Anyone face the same problem? Any solutions?

Anyone manage to upgrade to WDR4300 (v1.7) on 3.13.32 Build 130612 Rel.83937n to run OpenWRT? I tried to upgrade the firmware but the page doesn't seem to be responding. What am I doing wrong? i followed the steps in http://klseet.com/index.php/tl-wdr4300-v13

Please help

anyone could connect to the internet for UNIFI using this TL-WDR4300 router?

can we have two ISP connect to the same TL-WDR4300.

only have one wan port. is there any way that we can make the lan port untagged with respective vlan to make this work?

Can I get the settings for unifi for the international version firmware...I need the gust network settings....local unifi version don't have guest network.

The international firmware...I didn't see vlan tagging...darn...

no you can't use UniFi using the international firmware version.but u can try to use ur old modem as bridge to ur 4300.

Nice review, helpful info here!

Anyone tested with TL-WDR4300_V1_150302 ???? I tried but fail..

Anyone using TP-LINK Tether with this TP-Link N750 TL-WDR4300 with UNIFI?

I downloaded the app but its not working.
