Can we set 2 LAN port to forward UNIFI IPTV VLAN with standard firmware?
Currently my Dlink dir850L able to connect to 2 STB.

I used a thin bamboo stick whose end just fits the reset hole snugly.

Can hear the soft click of the reset button as I pressed the stick into the hole.

I think there is no problem activating the reset.

I can, however, use this bamboo stick to reset to factory default settings with the router powered up already.

So, what do I need to do to go into recovery mode to flash the modified bootloader file I already have with me?

Make sure you set your IP to the same subnet ya as in boot loader mode DHCP doesn't work. Once that is done you should be able to get to there router IP. Assuming you are following the guide. Http://192.168.1.1 should bring you up to the Emengent (yes it is spelled wrong) mode. HAHAHA Chinese stuff. Then you flashed your modified WS880_trans.bin. Here I had some issues coz I was working on a MAC and PC at the same time. Anyway once successful it should get you to CPE mode then you can flash WS880_380.58_0.trx file. Reboot and you are good to go.

The easier way is to unplug the power connector first. Then while pressing the reset button, plug in the power connector. The power on/off button is very unintuitive.

You can ping the router continuously to know when to release the reset button.

The problem is, I can't go into 192.168.1.1 after performing the flash and unlock procedure.

I already manually set my PC's IP address to 192.168.1.2

I have to change my PC's IP address to 192.168.3.2 to access into the router's IP address 192.168.3.1

Once I do that, it brings me to the main login page as if the reset was not done at all.

This is EXACTLY what I did.

To no avail.

It just won't bring me to the emergency load modified bootloader page.

first lets try this. set your network adaptor to automatically obtain ip and use cable not WIFI.

you should automatically get 192.168.3.x that way you can access the router via 192.168.3.1 Right?

now manually set to 192.168.1.10 or whatever you want. Try the reset, i believe you are doing it right. unfortunately there is no light indication to tell you that it has successfully booted into emergency upgrade page mode.

can you ping 192.168.1.1 -t to see if you can see the router when it has booted up in emergency mode. else if still cannot try setting it back to obtain ip and if you can see via 192.168.3.1 means it didn't kick in.

Man, I have been going through all the pages. I understand that the stock firmware will be able to support Unifi but I need to know does it work simply by plug and play?

Hopefully I don't need to configure after plugging into the new router and so forth. If I do need to configure anyone with kind soul could help?

I'm too damn noob at networking. Don't even know configure my ip and stuff like that but keen at upgrading my router. Nevertheless, I'm pretty darn good at listening and following instruction, if anyone could guide; please do so.

Gonna purchase this later.

I don't use wifi for this.

I am already using a direct Ethernet cable connection.

It DIDN'T kick in.

I can ALWAYS see the router via 192.168.3.1 after the reset procedure.

Try another browser, try another computer.

it can't be that hard. you seem to be familiar with networking.

last resort - TAKE IT BACK and CHANGE it.

Mana ada browser/computer can make a difference in this case

You are correct!

How to change?
How to proof that the router is not working?

didn't work on my mac (safari) couldn't see the emergency page so i tried on a PC then it worked. coincidence perhaps. the loading of the emergency page.

The good thing is that the original Huawei firmware is not too bad, although its features are limited.

I can't set alternative DNS servers, for example.

Have to use the default TM's DNS servers.

Wifi on both bands are stable, no random dropouts or whatever.

One more thing. IPv6 cannot work in the original firmware.

just got it from Sri com..hot hot..power on flash..

stock fw only support tm unifi.

sucess flash to Xwrt-Vortex WS880_380.58_0

How did you perform the flash?

Can please describe the process in detail for me?

How is the wifi range for you? Good?
You are staying in apartment or landed houses?

I am staying in a landed house.

2.4GHz is powerful, can cover whole house plus across the road in front.

5Ghz, as expected, is weaker. Can only receive just outside the front gate.
