Problem details

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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 ?

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?

thanks!

i will try this out tonight. Hope it works!

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?

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.
