Have 2 units WRT54GS and Buffalo WHR-HP-54 also working fine. Thought the newer models should perform better for such basic function

Leave ur thoughts behind it's based on chipset :-)

Broadcom is the best and most stable for repeaters and routers

Maximum performance and high end APS and receivers go for Atheros

Cheers mate

Anyone tried DDWRT on TP-Link's TL-WR1043ND. How is it perform?
And can give me some guild on how to flash it.
Thanks

its a cheap router

Hi MX510,

Did you manage to create both vlan?500 (internet) & 600 (IPTV) for your UniFi on RT-16?
Currently I'm using MikroTik RB750, been on 3 weeks without any problem, but I just hope Broadcom base dd-wrt can perform the same since I have some old units around.
Appreciate some sharing here!


Yes, I do notice Broadcom base is more stable for repeater on stock firmware.
I've tested the following Asus :
RT10
RT12
RT10+ (got it recently from LowYat at RM85)

It works well on stock firmware as repeater for my base unit which runs on dd-wrt Atheros (TP-Link 941DN) or Ralink (Buffalo WHR-G300N).
But somehow it doesn't really works well on repeater if flash with dd-wrt.

Using Biz5 for UniFi no iptv so no problem

Unless if u still want the use the vlan tagging custom router refer unifi athena

So far I have no problem creating vlan.500 tagging & assign to WAN port for Atheros & Ralink routers. For Broadcom base, I've tested on Asus RT-12 & Buffalo WHR-HP-G54, can create the vlan.500 tagging but unable to assign it to WAN port.

Did you use RT-16 for your Biz5 or you use the TM stock standard DIR-615?
If you use RT-16, can you create vlan.500 & assign to WAN port for the internet?

My Unifi is biz package no iptv

What is the different between single band and dual band?

Newest router comes with dual band radio meaning have 2 chipset or got 3 triple band ( 3 chipset ) inside it meaning it can run wireless A, B, G or N at the same time ( MESH )

Single band is one chipset :-) running mix B n G mode at the same time or B,G,N at the same time

Price are quite difference for dual band because it much more expensive

Which router i should go for? E3000 or RT-N16? Just wondering the internal antenna quality.

I personally use RTN-16 and it works great with dd-wrt :-)

I use RT-N16 as well.
- attach 2 usb hardisk to it
- 1 x Torrent server
- 1 x FTP server

I would like to get E3000 but worried the signal range compare with RT-N16.

Hey MX510 and all DDWRT sifus, wanna ask if i disable DNSMASq in setup and in services page, will it affect the performance of the name lookups? (i didnt configure anything extra, but it was enabled by default)

Does enabling these options give any advantages for my DIR615? such as DNS cache on the router itself? i normally have 4 wifi users and 1 lan user...

Here is a function for that features

Usually for DNS i just google DNS for primary and secondary and leave the DNSMASQ enable

I see... thanks for info!

hi all sifu

Refer to wikipedia instructions
