Innatech RG4332 Ethernet ports only support 100Mb/s
Time to upgrade your router

hi, i just gotten a new asus router. i have read some guide to turn my old RG4332 into a network switch. to simplify, it goes like this:
BTU->Asus router->RG4332->IPTV, etc. However, i am not sure if this kind of setup would make IPTV to parasitise my bandwidth as they r supposed to their own independent bandwidth. anybody can advise me on this matter? is there anything i need to be taking note with this setup?

Why you want to trouble yourself? Just invest in a decent smart switch (usually this is recommended because who would waste other remaining ports for IPTV right?) / dumb switch (if you connect the RG4332 from LAN 4 port of your AX3000) then you're good to go.

I asked about something similar back in 2011. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=47607014
I installed only one ethernet cable to the living room. Thought I had it all covered but didn't realised I needed another one for HyppTV so ended up using Homeplugs for a few months.

What I'm using now is exactly like your "Desired Setup."

(WiFi Router 2 (Mikrotik RB2011) & HyppTV downstairs (the Switch in the diagram is part of the RB2011)) <--------> (BTU & WiFi Router 1 (Mikrotik hAP AC2) upstairs)

What you need to do is to turn that lone ethernet cable of yours into a VLAN trunk capable of carrying both the internet and PlayTV.

The Asus probably can do it. For RM700, it better. May not be exposed in the web config but I'm sure you can configure a VLAN trunk via command line. RG4332, don't think so. So you'll need something like another router or a switch that can handle VLANs.

Not that, you'll need what is commonly known as a managed switch. But anything that can handle VLANs will do. Can be a router, can be a switch, whichever is cheaper. I use a wifi router downstairs cos I also want wifi there.

Brother soonwai explained it well. Btw, the switch you are referring to is a dumb switch. It is not a router. This is an example of a smart-switch. It is quite cheap for normal home usage.

My bad. The TL-SG105E that you originally linked to is VLAN capable. My mistake for dismissing it too quickly when I saw the "unmanaged" word. Alternatively look for used VLAN capable routers. I bought a few Mikrotik RB750GL routers from a fellow forumer for about RM50 each. The switches in Mikrotik routers are VLAN capable.

Yes. It is capable to do the VLAN tagging. I am not sure of how their marketing department come up with such naming scheme of the product. I mislooked the model you've proposed earlier. So extremely sorry for that. 

Normally using ethernet cable within the same network will not add any latency or within 1ms addition.
Port forward should only be done with the 1st router,unless u double nat(setup one more router as router mode within your network,then port forward from that network is needed for specific usage)

Brother go626201 has answered it correctly. However, from my point of view, I won't be recommending to do any port-forwarding rule for security purpose.

Recommend a virtual lan software call "Zerotier".
Every player pc install zerotier and join the same network,and might need to set the metric value as "1".
And all player in the network will be able to access your server without expose to public network. (Either by ip or browse Lan network browser)
But this will not works for public access,as it will only show as Lan network,but public server list will not as no port forward set up.

I use this for my personal access to all device that didn't have public ip access.
And i also used it to play warcraft 3 with my cousin. (Old version that support LAN access,similar to Garena Lan)

To be clear,this software have very strong method for go through nat network,so normally 95% of device will establish direct connectivity to other device on the same network without going through their relay server. (normally no addition latency if direct connect)
I not sure if go through their relay server will get what quality of connectivity.But i think just add some latency only,since they might have singapore or tokyo server as relay.

Port forwarding is done at the main router. The switch doesn't have to worry about it. Latency will increase since the traffic has to physically travel further but it'll be in the hundreds or thousands of a millisecond.

You ordered the TL-SG108E? Have you confirmed that the Asus is able to do the VLAN trunk?

If I remember correctly, Asus' stock firmware doesn't allow for scripts. With a 3rd party firmware you can run scripts and enable multiple custom VLANs and much more

I can't help much with Asus but VLAN trunking is just another aspect of networking. Not proprietary to Cisco. Any router can do it. However consumer models may not have that feature implemented and/or exposed to the user in the web config. Understandable since few people would need such a feature.

What's the model of your BTU?

BTU is lifetime warranty. If it is faulty, TM will change it without additional charge.

If your existing package is lower than or equals to 100M, the BTU should still be OK.

Dunno why TM keeps doing that. Give 300Mbps but never change the BTU. My friend also the same. Just report to them and tell them you can’t get more than 95 on your PC using a cable. They’ll come and check and change the BTU for you. CS will mention RM53 charge and all that but you should not be charged anything.

Suggest you put the TM router back on when they come to check. If not they’ll start blaming the problem on anything they don’t recognize.

BTU is TM's property. No BTU charge and no service charge for the visit and does not affect your contract in any way.
