Nice review , Look like a great router but too bad i using streamyx

Thanks. But why too bad? I am using Streamyx here as well.

Cheap moderm router is enough for who using steamyx,since download speed and upload speed is super slow ,been use streamyx for about 11 years,still wating for time fibre at my place 100Mbps at same price as streamyx 4mbps

True for normal surfing. A good wireless router is needed when you have lot of HD videos locally. Or lot of wireless devices connected at the same time. And improve on gaming latency too.

I saw one in 11st with 8TB storage

is that the same?

That's HD version with better CPU.

Is that a better buy?

Depend on your needs. It comes with 1TB 3.5" HDD built-in too.

Do i need any special configuration for the smart switch or it is just plug and play ?? , please i need your assistance , i suck at networking..

u can use it with streamyx right now which i think it will be great in handling multiple devices connection with consistent high speed~ Improve your wifi coverage significantly as well, so i think that even u r on streamyx right now, it is good for you to get it~ maybe in future u have TIME already then u still can use back this router


yes, u need to do some configuration on the smart switch for Vlan tagging

Im done with the configuration amd yes it works. Im glad to share how to achie this.
But its not perfect yet, The only thing i need to find out is to make the hypptv work.

But i think i should post on other topics, or should i put it here?

Can you post screen shots of configuration for the smart switch or just a guide ... im a total noob at this.. i wanna order a tp link smart switch now.. thanks allot in advance

is it possible to post a short guide for the configuration needed for the smart switch? ... im a total noob at this.. i wanna order a tp link smart switch now.. thanks allot in advance. I have this Mi R3p Pro router for 2 months now and i can't get it to work via pppoe..on my unifi

Is the antenna detachable? If yes, can replace it with couple of the 8dbi's

sorry i no longer have both of the device, im unable to show u the configuration but u can go youtube look for the guide to setup vlan tagging on the smart switch

not detachable

Just check if I only use internet and not hypetv, can I just tag vlan500 in port 1 of the smart switch?

Hello,

Please find below from what I have done.
The reason I bought 8 port switch is due to I have maximize my 5 port switch, so upgrading to VLAN switch is worthwhile for me as I have Xiaomi R3P.

I bought TP-Link TL-SG108E. others VLAN switch should be the same, except if you use Cisco, the term will be abit differ.

The configuration as follow:
1. Login to web interface of TP-link router on 192.168.0.1, username and password would be admin admin (default) if you havent change it

2. Goto 802.1Q VLAN and set the VLAN settings as follow:
Make VLAN for Unifi
2a. Enable the 802.1Q VLAN click yes then click apply
2b. On VLAN ID type 500 and on the desc type unifi
2c. Then Port 1 set to tagged port 2 - 6 set to untag
2d. click add/modify

Make VLAN for Hypptv (still not working yet)
2e. On VLAN ID type 600 and on the desc type hypptv
2f. Then Port 1 set to tagged port 7 set to untag
2g. click add/modify

Click save config

3. Setting up the Port VLAN ID goto 802.1Q VLAN PVID Setting
PVID for Unifi
3a. On PVID type 500
3b. Tick port 2 - 6
3c. Click apply

PVID for Hypptv
3d. On PVID type 600
3e. Tick port 7
3f. Click apply

Click save config

On your switch
Port 1 connect it to port 1 on Unifi BTU
Port 2 connect to Xiaomi R3P router WAN Port (blue color)
Port 3 connect to Xiaomi R3P router Switch Port (any)
Port 4 Up to you
Port 5 Up to you
Port 6 Up to you
Port 7 connect to hypptv

Now, goto your router
Login to your R3P web interface 192.168.31.1
Goto connection, internet, and choose PPPoe
Type username and password
Choose custom MTU, change it to 1492
Safe

Now this should work.
Please post if you have further question.

In the mean time, I would appreciate if anyone could share to me how the hypptv works ?
The problem now, Hypptv can connect, but all the channel is black and I got sattelite icon.

Seems like it doesnt get any IP / internet for this.
Maybe its due to on BTU it has merging 2 VLAN in 1 port while I separate 2 vlan in 2 different port.

Thanks for your detailed steps!!! Really helpful to the noob as me...

Btw if i no need hypptv, i can just ignore the vlan 600, right?

Yes, if you dont need Hypptv, you can skip the VLAN 600.

Cheers.

Thanks so much.. you have saved me...
