Revert Method : Via Webgui, use stock firmware with "xxx-up-xxx" word only ! (See below section)
Please note the FailSafe recovery mode will NOT work on this device/model !! If you brick it, you may have to open it, solder it to rescue via serial console, which I completely have no idea on how to do it!
Unless you know exactly what & how to configure OpenWRT, I seriously suggest don't mess around too much, especially the bridging settings, I've brick 2 units while trying to be a hero .....
Note: Refer HERE to setup UniFi manually (both internet vlan.500 & IPTV vlan.600) based on Trunk version.

Configuration for UniFi
Download Rizvanrp's config file, thanks & credit to him ! (Don't use the config file, the WiFi might not work properly.)
After the device restored with the UniFi config file :
- the default IP is 192.168.1.1, username is "root" password is "athena"
- change the UniFi PPPoE user ID & password, WiFi setting, the device's admin password accordingly
- use LANport4 for IPTV
Refer HERE to setup UniFi manually (both internet vlan.500 & IPTV vlan.600)
I've personally tested it for more than 3 days without any problem !
Started on 5Dec2011
System log indicated both vlan.500 (Internet) & 600 (IPTV) are working properly
The graphical display is really nice !
I installed LuCI QoS package, need to Enable it & Restart the service before any setting
I setup the following rules
Re-run SpeedTest while heavy downloading/transferring files, the QoS is working well as expected !
Tested for more than 3 days, no problem at all, the config file is good for UniFi !
