Yeah, I think better not wasting time on that TM's 615 model. Even you can get it running OpenWRT, the main chip inside Ralink RT3052F (which many think its a low-end chip) tends to run hot (and so it's less stable, random restart...), with less than average performance (384 MHz MIPS 24Kc CPU)... 

I suggest buying MR3420 v2, which comes with an Atheros AR9341 SoC running on 535 MHz CPU (MIPS 74Kc). On lelong there's someone selling it with only RM6x.xx! (Usual price > RM80). The price-to-performance ratio is just unbeatable. So go grab one... 

I had checked your recommended MR3420. Indeed, good price.
However, I need VLAN Ready, at least Port-based. And according to OpenWRT Official Compatibility Table (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start#tp-link), MR3420 does not have that feature.

Hello all again,

Do you think it is worth to spend RM150 to buy Asus WL-520GU.
The Router is OpenWRT/DD-WRT Ready.

I had googled and found that the Router has good rating though a bit dated, with only G-Wireless and no Gigabit LAN-Port.

Any comments?

hi all...need help here..after config my router following klseet instruction...but it doesnt connect to unifi...
the only difference between my config and his is the network-->switch tab...mine  showing port 0-4 then cpu..
his showing 1-5 then cpu...so i assume my port 0=to his port 5=to physical wan port?
hope someone can help me here..

my router: TP-Link TL-WR1043ND ver 1.6
firmware version: OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09 / LuCI 0.11.1 Release (0.11.1)
anything wrong with above config?..thanks in advanced..

you can map the port yourself by plugging a LAN cable into the port and see which one registers on the GUI. Then from there you can roughly guess which port is the WAN port.

Its call process of elimination. Try it....

yes, i did that and it is port 0..but i still cant get it connect to unifi..
wifi and all other ports works ok...
cant try iptv though since im not even connected to unifi...

This is a switch setting I had when I was still running OpenWRT last year. It looks like your port tagging is wrong. IIRC WAN port (port 0) and the CPU (port 5) are always tagged.

Your problem is that you did not add the SWITCH into the NETWORK.

In Network you need to go and edit LAN and add the vlan500 that you have created into it.



If you go klseet website he did this for the IPTV. You can follow the same way but add the vlan500 instead of 600

oh ya.. the wan port has to be tagged with 500 n 600.. good eye

hey..thanks guys...tagging port 0 (wan) with 500 works...
seems like the screenshot on klseet has got mistake?
or is there something i misread or missed?
that's why kept me thinking whole night last night how this systems work so what i think is correct but didnt have the time to try and was dead tired from work...

i follow the steps from this link:
http://klseet.com/index.php/tl-wr1043nd-ve...unifi-10031-rc6

u can see that he is tagging port 1 with 500 and 600...or is it because his port 1 is the wan port?
and he written there  IPTV will use physical LANport 4 but the port 4 is off?

His port 1 is the WAN port. If you look, you'll also see than LAN port 4 is marked port 5 in the image, and that the CPU is labelled as CPU. In the current config, it's just port 0 (WAN), port 1 to 4 (LAN1 to LAN4) and port 5 (CPU). He is not wrong per se, just that the pic is outdated.

Edit: I couldn't find the release note for the BB stable release. Is this made official yet?

i using OpenWrt Backfire 10.03.1 / LuCI 0.10.0 Release (0.10.0)

for factory and upgrade, which i should dl?
