I'd been looking for a guide online to set up the UniFi HyppTV Set Top Box EC6106V5 to connect wirelessly without spending extra money to buy a pair of HomePlugs as HyppTV STB EC6106V5 has already got WiFi built in to the box, you only need to go to the settings to enable it to connect to your WiFi network. Unfortunately, there isn't much helpful information I could get from the internet, so I decided to go through all the settings in the router myself to find out if there is any possibilities to do so, and finally I found that IT'S ALL POSSIBLE!!! So now I can have my router in one room, and HyppTV STB and TV in another without having to buy any extra hardware as long as it's within the WiFi coverage range.

After the successful attempt, I feel like I should share this to others, so you all can save some money and place your TV set wherever you want.

I will skip the steps to enabling and connecting to WiFi network in the Set Top Box as it's already available on the internet for quite some time. So I'll go straight to the point, and below is the step by step set up guide.

Edit (14/10/2017): I'm getting forum messages from time to time where people ask for details regarding the setup, so I think it's better for me to just update the post with a bit more details in case people couldn't find the specific information needed.

Edit (14/10/2017): I've since upgraded the Set Top Box to EC6108V8 and a different TM router model after the first post, but most settings remained the same as before. Note: I haven't got a chance to play with the newer TM D-Link DIR-850L router, so I'm not sure if some of the settings are actually available in this router.

Edit (14/10/2017): To enable WiFi connection in the HyppTV Set Top Box, go to the settings page through the cog icon at the screen when you first power on your HyppTV STB, then go to Wireless and Network section, tick the box on the right of Enable WLAN and wait for the STB to turn on the WiFi feature, once the WiFi is on, go to Set WLAN to choose and connect to the WiFi network SSID you're going to create from the guide below.

1. Log in to your UniFi router, username and password is readily available online.

Edit (14/10/2017): You need to login with master ID and password as standard admin ID will NOT show you all the settings needed for this configuration. Master ID and password is model specific, you can easily find it on google.

2. Go to Wireless tab and then SSID Configuration, enable second SSID in the list by clicking the Edit button.



3. In the VAP configuration page, tick the Enabled VAP box to enable second SSID, and you can enter your own SSID name in the SSID box. Under Wireless Security, you need to select WPA-PSK as authentication, as WPA2-PSK won't work in streaming the IPTV signal. Under Enabled WPA, select TKIP as the Key Type, AES will work too, but I find TKIP having a smoother streaming result. Don't forget to enter your own Preshared Key too.

Edit (30/11/2015): I've tried to use the so-called 'mixed mode' WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Authentication with TKIP + AES Key Type without any streaming issue so far. With these settings, it should give better security to your WiFi network.

Edit (04/12/2015): WPA2-PSK Authentication is actually WORKING for streaming IPTV signal, I've so far tried both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK with all Key Types combinations available in the router's settings, some combinations have better streaming results than the others, so you might try out yourself to find the best one for your network conditions. Still not sure why it didn't work the first time when I set up the SSID2.



4. Click Submit button at the bottom of the page to save settings.

5. Now go to Setup tab and then WAN Configuration, edit the connection with VLAN ID 600. It's the notepad icon with a pen on it, NOT the icon looks like a recycle bin.



6. In WAN Connection settings, under Port Binding, tick the box SSID2 for WLAN Port.



6. Click Apply button to save settings, and Viola! you can now stream your HyppTV content wirelessly when connecting to this new SSID!

Please note that this is only for streaming HyppTV contents, browsing internet with the browser won't work in this configuration. The new STB EC6108V8 should work with the similar settings, but not tested myself. Hope you guys enjoy it.

I wonder if this method can work on 3rd party routers.
Any ideas?

It might work if your router have all of these settings available, I don't have other router to try myself. As you can see from the settings, it's bridging the IPTV signal from TM, you get an IP address in the range of 10.X.X.X when connected to the new SSID. The other feature needed is port binding to route all IPTV signal to a specific port, which is SSID2 in this case.

Okay, lets say I got a DD-WRT'ed router but with only one ethernet port.
Can I still port binding VLAN 600 without assign to any LAN port first?
(Assumed that The only port available used for VLAN 500).

In my router, I was able to remove LAN4 port binding when I get the option to select SSID2. Hope that help.

hoho.. Thank you TS
going to try it tonite. see can work or not..

Anyone report please?

This works perfectly as described by TS. Need to use correct login to make the WAN option available.

Wonder this method can be used for Asus router or not?

Tested, is working, but limitation would be the signal strength. Failed on my house. It keep on lagging for no reason.

aiseh, late to read on yr post, I just setup Cat5E cable from my center hall to my TV area.

just install my unifi last week..i also hv this question as my hypptv is connecting thru wireless like what TS mention..i wanna upgrade my router to improve the wireless signal,but the TM technician say the TM router cannot be replace, he told me to add on another router instead replace the TM router to new 3rd party router...not sure how its work..

Hello, unifi newbie here.. I just got unifi set up yesterday in the living room. If i would like to watch hypptv in another room on a another TV (same channel), what device do I need? And how to set up?

Another question is my Motorola DECT phone, when I turn off the switch to stop charging, the phone cannot make/receive calls anymore. How do I stop charging but still be able to use the phone?

The TM router can be replaced with another UniFi compatible router, no problem. Got many to choose from, Mikrotik, DLink, TPLink, Linksys, Cisco, Asus or any router that supports VLAN.

Add-on also can but no point. Waste electricity only.

You can buy a pair of power plug to use the electrical wiring of your house to form a network to link up the router and the STB. TP-Link is cheaper, and Aztech has been in the market for many years.

You need the base station to pair with the phone and continue working in order to send/receive call. Don't worry, it consume very little electricity. The phone will stop charging by itself when it is fully charged.

You can get a TPLink WDR3600 at the price of around RM170 that supports dual band and better Wifi.

The dlink modem from tmnet don't have setup WAN

TS, you're using stock router provided by TM? Why my router don't have WAN configuration?

Bcoz u use wrong user name/password

What is the user name/ password to access that setting? TM only provide username as 'admin' and password blank.

Just got it from google.

hypptv box got wifi 1 ah. mine tak ada le

@nzuser you are a life saver. works like a charm.

I replaced the stock router to Asus RT-AC88UHP, but then now my STB connecting to router using cat5e cable, but then I can't using the youtube app anymore, I heard some ppl said must create an difference SSID wor..anyone facing this problem?

Need help here. I can't get the WAN option at setup tab. I'm using the new unifi router (EC6108V8)
Thanks

Edited: changed to 'operator' login, now i'm able to see the WAN setting.

Thanks saving my hypp TV!

I have just switched to TIME. Wonder can I still use my hyppetv?

Hi, Any idea how to make this work on an Asus router? What configuration settings do I need to change to make it work?

Nope. You can't use as Hypptv is from TM

guys, need help here. i have followed all the steps.
after i click the hypp tv with my remote, tv screen turns black and there is an tv dish icon with a red cross on the right hand corner.
did i configure everything correctly?

Succesfully establish hypyytv wifi connection through my hpyytv box...with new modem 7 august 2016 (alcatel tah ape tah) but it lag...connection full bar but lag like hell...why meh?

Probably it is your router problem.

This post has been edited by mztang52: Aug 10 2016, 08:15 AM

of coz u can ...

Of course. But you still need to sign up hypptv package. And download hypptv everywhere. And you will watch the programmes in hypptv everywhere app.

This method didnt help at all as i off LAN4 and enable WLAN 2.4ghz for IPTV.
Look like powerline is the solution for me.

May i know what about the router? The standard router are weak is it? It age just a 3day i at point of setup. I dont think it have issue... Thinking of homeplug to use both WLAN and WIFI

Sorry. Just to tell you that recently some users are facing such issue also. But they are on LAN. You test yourself by connecting it with a LAN cable if the issue still presist, then it should be TM's side problem.

This post has been edited by mztang52: Aug 19 2016, 12:33 AM

hi all.. i was wondering is it possible to use a second STB in diff room to establish this? i have 2 STB (got it from my mother, she terminate her acc)

do i need to reconfigure the STB? (currently configured to the terminated acc)

any thought nzuser? or anyone who have tried?

Not all router have this VAP and port binding feature. only specific brand with dedicated IPTV port have it. Actually TM router is powerful. I just repeater for hard to reach places.

what is password to see WAN configuration? I tried operator/h566Unifi, didnt worked


update: ok found the correct password but my hyptv not working if connected to ssid...can see the epg but keep complaint cannot connect to upgrade server

i am also having same issue after configured

Thank you very much nzuser my set top box Lan port was burned after a lightning strike and I couldn't use it to watch hypptv until I found your thread and this had save me from buying another set top box @RM315 plus installation fees of RM53.

Hi... I'm successfully connect to SSID2 with my android tv box, but it leave me a question. How to view Hypptv channel??

Navigate back to the home menu and select hypptv icon

All of u succeded are using >10mbps?

Question about Unifi mode in router. To connect HyppTV, the Unifi Mode have to be configure to "IPTV" mode which is port 4 in the router. I tried connect HyppTV to port 3 where it is "Internet" mode, the HyppTV not working. So which means there is some setting for HyppTV box to identify "IPTV" protocol instead of "Internet" protocol? Previously I used Streamyx with HyypTV and router did not set "IPTV" or "Internet" setting and I'm able to watch HyppTV and use internet the same time. Please advise. Thanks

P.S Previously my HyppTV connect to wifi + homeplug + ethernet port. I connect LAN cable to HyppTV and Notebook through the homeplug

Can I use another router (TPLink router) connect it to TM Router LAN port 4.
HyppTV box connect to TPLink router wifi.
Will this setup works?

TM set port 4 for HyppTV use only. They use VLAN to seperate the connection for HyppTV and Internet connection. The only way you can do is either make your HyppTV connect to wifi or make your comouter to connect to wifi. If you want to connect your IPTV through wifi connection you will need to add another SSID and tag it with VLAN: 600.

This post has been edited by mztang52: Dec 24 2016, 07:09 AM

No. Because your TP-Link router can't read the data on Port 4. Only HyppTV can read it.

I tested with Dlink router set to AP mode and connect to TPlink router's Hypptv port(Lan Port 4) and it work. I connect my Hyyptv box to dlink wifi and manage to watch Hypptv.

But for the 1st time setup, the sequence to on the device must be correct. 1st on the main router and AP, wait for both devices fully initialize then only on the Hypptv TV box. If i on the Hypptv 1st it won't connect properly.

You can try to play around if you have the second router or borrow from some one....

This post has been edited by calvinlaw510: Dec 24 2016, 12:12 PM

What do you configure on the D-Link router?

My house wifi signal unable to reach so far and lot of walls
I'm planning to connect another router(B) as AP. Then A router LAN 4 port set to "Internet" mode. Router(B) AP will set one of the port to "IPTV" mode. But I'm not sure whether this kind of configuration works or not.

Nope. 1 port only can tag with one VLAN ID. You either tag it with Vlan ID 500 for Internet or VLAN ID 600 for IPTV connection.

Sorry, tagged the wrong person.

This post has been edited by mztang52: Dec 24 2016, 03:15 PM

Yes, but need a LAN cable to connect from LAN Port 4 to the router2 and select bridge on the WAN connection. I don't know does the Dynamic IP address will work or not, you can try it yourself and see how. And you must disable the DHCP Pool on Router2.

New dlink rounter management UI come with pre-configured AP mode to select. Just select the AP mode it will become an AP. If your router didnt come with pre-configured AP mode then you can manually set it.

1st set your second router IP(for example your main router is 192.168.0.1, then set your second router to 192.168.0.2),

2nd disable DHCP on your second router.

3rd connect your second router(Lan 1) to your main router(Lan 4).

Hmmm. Then I think there's no alternative way for that

Hi..

Dlink D850L

Anyone know how to change LAN4 from IPTV to internet ?

I change to internet and save.. after reboot still remain unchanged.. IPTV..

Thanks..

Try to set with other browser or set it with your phone browser.

I have face this problem before, some time it cant save the setting but if i change to another browser and it can save.

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=83063443

This forumer also facing the same problem, he also cant save the setting, but try with other browser it manage to save it.

Hi guys, can comment on my theoretical setup below pls:

Asus 55uhp in router mode (first floor)
D-Link 850L connected to the Asus 55uhp at port4 then set as repeater mode with vlan600 tagging
Hypptvbox at livingroom downstairs connect to the wifi SSID that the D-Link created

Vlan 600 have to tag to Asus 55uhp port4 then set dlink 850L to AP mode not repeater mode and connect to 55uhp port4, then it will work.

I already tested this setup....but make sure u can get nice wifi signal from your dir-850l where your hyppty setup box locate, as dir-850l have weak wifi penetration

This post has been edited by calvinlaw510: Dec 25 2016, 11:16 AM

yeah that's the disvantage for using wifi extender or using wifi router as access point.

I tried home plug, it works perfectly, think I will go with this option.

Hi, how can I use playstore apps uaing hypptv box?

Connect it to the internet port (Lan1-3), Lan port 4 is for Hypptv and it cant link to internet. Or connect to your wifi, and remember to disconnect the lan cable if using the wifi.

This post has been edited by calvinlaw510: Dec 25 2016, 03:00 PM

Lan3 for 3rd party IPTV..
Wifi VLAN tag to IPTV.. use for Hypptv ..

Working ?

If your router can tag vlan on wifi then it will work.

Thank you mztang52 and calvinlaw510.
I'll try it out when I got a chance.

Dlink D850L... yes can tag.. used guest WiFi account..

But very lagging watching Hypptv channels..
Smooth for 3rd party IPTV using LAN connection..

Update:
I tried with TP link MR3420 router but it doesn't work.
Now I tried nzuser's way and it works on WiFi.

Edit with update #2.
Last night was watching HyppTv and on Facetime with ipad.
At one instance, both hang at the same time.
Does it mean the router cannot handle both devices on WiFi?

Hi all =D

Newbie here. Just installed Unifi yesterday.

I fail to setup the HyppTV through the SSID with WAN tagged with IPTV.

My router is D-link DIR-850L, it dont allow us to change the encryption type for the SSID.

Anyone can help me out? Thanks alot..




Attached thumbnail(s)

I would also like to know if this is possible

PM me your teamviewer ID. I will help you to do that.

i try with my TGR212M wireless router. and it work! thanks nzuser!

remember to use this for login
username: operator
password: h566UniFi
192.168.0.1

Hi Bros, juz had my UniFi installed. Anybody success to connect HyppTV wirelessly using TP-LINK AC1200 (ARCHER C5 V2) router?

My unifi also come with this TP-LINK AC1200 router as default.

I would like to know too if i can connect HyppTV wirelessly to this router

hi, i disconnect the lan cable on my hypp tv box and connect to the wifi on the tplink c5 router, i manage to browse the internet from the browser app in the hypp tv box but the app store and the youtube app in the hypptv box doesn't works. Is it possible to install KODI on the hypp tv box and use it to watch movie on my network storage?

anyone knows what's the problem. thanks

This post has been edited by repusez: Feb 7 2017, 01:37 PM

Make sure your tv box time and date is the is updated. Because once you power off the box the time will reset, and if it's not the current date and time, you cant link with google account.

To sync the box time please connect tv box to router lan4.

I have this router as well, doesn't seem to have the option to bridge any SSID to the LAN4, so I can't get it to work wirelessly as well.

In the router, you go to edit the HyppTv settings. Once you are there, you should see it is assigned to LAN port 4. Try and add a wireless port as access. Next is set up the wireless port with login password.

TPlink didnt support Vlan over wireless...so forget about connect hypptv with wifi if you got TPlink router from TM.

if you wanna connect hyppTV wifi, you need create a guest wifi with IPTV config

i try but it cannot connect from the set up box

if you dont mind can you help me to do it go thought team viewer ?

So did u successfully create a new SSID which is tagged with VLAN 600?

This post has been edited by mztang52: Feb 18 2017, 08:08 AM

Did you read page 1 of this thread?
nzuser has drawn up the steps on how to create another SSID for HyppTv.

Can the TP-Link Archer C5 router works as well?

any idea if use 3rd party firmware (openwrt , ddwrt ) or asus router can make it works?

EDIT :

i just found this on the klseet.com, u think this method is more easy to config and work ?

The original for that is actually from here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1733801

Cable is always more reliable than wifi. That's how it's done in my house too. VLAN600 is trunked from my main router upstairs to my switch next to the TV downstairs. The switch is actually a router but just functioning as a managed switch.

In another house, there's no cable so I use wifi to achieve the same thing. Though not quite the same as described here. Here I use a wifi WDS bridge with 2 Mikrotik APs to send vlan600 to the STB. The STB here is the old one that has no wifi. HyppTV is very sensitive to interference. Any hiccups to its stream and it will lag or even stop. To avoid that I use a 2.4GHz freq that's outside the usual wifi channels of 1-13. Technically it's illegal to do that but hey, no inteference.

How about Asus RT-N18U?

so far u using this stable all the way with your hpptv and internet ? look like only mikrotik can done this settings? if using with other mikrotik trunk with other router can get this setting up or not ?

what i study as understanding is ? so must use mikrotik to act as main router to carry pppoe and other purpose also?

This post has been edited by gahkin: Feb 21 2017, 08:05 PM

Yeah, stable. No probs at all other than headaches when setting it up.

All routers can do vlans. If cannot then it won't work with UniFi in the first place. Cheaper routers might not have the feature exposed to the user because they want to keep the GUI easy. Some features may only be configurable via the command line. I would expect a high end RM1000 Asus to be able to do it.

Mikrotik's approach is a bit different. What you can do on the RM10,000 model, you can also do on the RM150 model. The OS is exactly the same. The limitations are CPU speed and RAM.

Not a must to use Mikrotik. You can use Cisco or Ubiquiti. Not sure about this but probably premium models of DLink, Asus or TPLink also can. You only need a capable router at one end and a managed switch at the other. Don't need a 2nd router. I use a 2nd router because I don't have a managed switch. If you have a spare router from UniFi you can also use that. For example, you can use the DIR-615 in place of the switch. The vlan trunk cable into ether1 and Hytpptv out ether5 as pre-configured. I haven't actually tried this but it should work.

Anyway to summarise, the main router is the most important. The user must able to configure PPPoE and VLAN access & trunk ports.

Hey everyone,

Recently, got Unifi with the HyppTv. Only issue is my TV is a floor above the router and wanted to go wireless. Since I had the new TP Link router that can't do VAP, I thought, why not use my old Streamyx router(DB120-WL) as the AP. I set up it as a wireless switch/AP and connected one of the LAN ports to LAN4 of the TP-Link router. It connected the STB to the AP and it 'works'. It managed to sync the NTP time, and I got into the HyppTv app. Finally, something works on the first try.

I celebrated too soon.

Only issue is that, I can't watch channels live, and the red crossed out satellite appears. I can only watch time shift enabled channels.

Any solutions to this? I don't know whether to enable VLAN/VAP on the Streamyx router, as it is already enabled in the TP Link one.

Hi all,

Am pretty stuck at the moment. Am using 850L and it seems that there is no option for Port Binding. I've created the SSID and changed the WAN connection to IPTV. However, when I tried to connect my STB to the new SSID, I kept getting 'Authentication Failed'. Even called TM to get my IPTV password and set up the SSID user name and password according to my IPTV info but still fruitless. Anyone has the same issue?

Am already at the brink of surrendering and just buy the TM additional device to help get my Hypptv set up in another room.

I have the same issue as you. Created a guest SSID on the 850L, assigned it to IPTV on the WAN page and when I connect it to the SSID, "Authentication failed". But if you assign that SSID to Internet on the WAN page, the STB will connect to the SSID and gain access to the internet.

Any sifus out here can teach us how to get the IPTV to work on the 850L? Thanks.
