mind helping me with this?

this is currently the setup on streamyx still, gonna have unifi soon. this is shibby tomato latest ver.

i'm currently referring to http://klseet.com/index.php/setup-walk-thr...setup-for-unifi for setup

but i'm still a little confused

what should it look like ultimately? as in the screenshot
should I modify VLAN1 and set the vid to 500 as well as tag it?
or should i add VLAN3 and set vid to 500, tag it an set as wan port?

so currently its like this:
vlan[1] vid[1] port1[y] tag[n] port2[y] tag[n] port3[y] tag[n] port4[y] tag[n] wanport[n] tag[n] default[y] bridge[LAN (br0)]
vlan[2] vid[2] port1[n] tag[n] port2[n] tag[n] port3[n] tag[n] port4[n] tag[n] wanport[y] tag[n] default[n] bridge[WAN]

what should it look like for unifi setup?

thanks in advance

You'll need a VLAN for just the port connected to the BTU.
Enable that port and tag it with a VID value of 500.

As simple as that.

If people wish to use tomato firmware with unifi, you need to set VLAN as above.

Hope this helps. Do subscribe unifi through me - anywhere in Msia. I'll be glad to offer further assistance in setting up smile.gif -- as well as guest networks, etc.

If my memory serves me right,

Create a new VLAN number of your choice (e.g. 3)
Set VID to 600

If you choose to use port 4 for IpTV,
Select Port [4] [TAG]
Select Port [WAN] [TAG]

So result is:
VLAN3 | VID 600 | Port 4 [x] Tagged [x] | WAN Port [x] Tagged [x]

However, this is untested, but it works on my openwrt router.

Im using tomato right now, but had previously used another openwrt router but had to use that unit for other purpose.

as well as a lot more customizable. However, openwrt is much more difficult to use and customize. So don't take my full recommendation for it.

Apologies for reviving an old thread but I just got my Netgear WNR3500L working with Unifi and I hope this helps others.

Klseet shows that newer routers can use Shibby builds 136 and above to set VID of 500:
https://klseet.com/index.php/15-tomato/toma...vlan500-vlan600

However, older routers like mine have a hardware limitation that requires another method, VID offset as featured in Shibby build numbers <136. I'm using build 132.

I struggled to get the right values in the VLAN table, but eventually found the answer here:
http://tomatousb.org/forum/t-430053/suppor...-console-or-gui
Thanks to Kanuki!
My settings are:

VLAN1 (LAN) / VID = 497
VLAN4 (WAN) / VID = 500 / 'Tagged' box checked
VID Offset = 496

Screenshot attached.

Reboot the router after saving, then enter your PPPoE login and save.

NB I had to turn off both the BTU and router, then allow the BTU to boot fully before turning on the router in order to get it to connect to TM via PPPoE.

Now I have internet from my WNR3500L  rclxm9.gif  But it isn't possible to get HyppTV working with these old routers, I think. No loss for all I care.

VID = 497? LAN? why's this in the tutorial
