I want to downgrade too as my VIP 20 is not utilised most of the time.

I wonder when tm will offer use long time users (more than 2 years old) a new improved package?

Something like a 5MB package with a fixed ip that is rm200?

My fiber modem,router,PC is at 1st floor; my ps3, media player and iptv is at ground floor.
Since I don't want to hack wall to install new network cable, I bought 2 Vlan capable manage switches and a set of homeplugs that support vlan signal to deliver the signal(VLAN 600 and VLAN 1) from 1st floor to ground floor.
Works fine for long time already.

The pro
VLAN switches allows me to use any router I want.
No need to hack wall.
All your devices are wired. You can make wireless on seperate vlan for better security.

The cons:
More device to take care.
More $ spend. The cheapest VLAN capable switches costs about rm250. (Microtik RB250GS)

If you're in landed house, fiber.

As long as you only carry network data and not (IPTV data + network data), normal switch will work.
Get gigabit switch if your NAS is the high performance type that can do read/write at more than 20MB/s

Where you plan to put your NAS?
You could consider using homeplugs instead of long network cable if your NAS is near your pc.

You could put NAS near your pc, media player does not need gigabit to play the movies from NAS.
My NAS is connected to my media player using homeplug, I don't see any playback issues.

Hahaha, ok. I got confused.

I am in a middle of planning to upgrade my current setup too.

No problem using google dns here.

Synology DS410. I let my NAS do the torrent job too. I put my NAS outside my room.

My PC is in my bedroom, I don't want my bed room to be too hot and noisy if the pc have to run 24/7 torrenting.

Probably convert everything into rack mount.

Your are using the standard orange color router from telekom? start checking with that.

I am in Shah Alam U5 area, no problem here.
Currently using RB750 as router. Fiber line.

If the STB means the IPTV device given by TM. No it can't because the IPTV network in on another VLAN segment (600).

Hmm, the unifi tv box can stream video from you NAS? I don't think got that feature.
If you want to stream movie from your PC or NAS, consider getting a media player device.

Yes. Your TV would required more than one hdmi input.

First please tell us what you expect to work in the configuration you drawn.

Btw, you expect to use the STB to play movie from your NAS?

Looks like Decapic already answer the question on STB.

Your internet and LAN should work fine.

The cheap/unstable router from unifi is not an issue coz we can fix it by ourself by using our own router.
There are guide in this forum for you to use your own router.

The maxis fiber's issue with ping,throttling and private IP we end user cannot solve.
