RT-N66U-B1 Setup for UniFi

 

 

UniFi Setup Pre-Requisite:

 

  • Download the latest firmware from ASUS official page HERE
  • Perform clean flash, read carefully & fully understood the Factory Restore procedure through WebGui . (Note: If it fail or brick, then use Firmware Restoration (Win7) method)
  • Get ready your UniFi PPPoE user ID & password (it's case sensitive!), it was written on the installation sign-off document, under the section "High Speed Internet - xx Mbps".  If you are not sure, call TM CS, just tell them you want to change your own router, they MUST provide you !
  • Setup as per following guide.  (Again, during setup, DO NOT connect WAN or WiFi, only connect 1 cable to the device's LAN 2/3)
  • Connect as per diagram (at the end of this article), ensure you connect the cables to the correct ports !

Perform Factory Restore before setup !!

LAN setup as follows
(Note: I personally prefer to change the device's IP and not using the stock 192.168.1.1 IP)

I prefer to use smaller DHCP range, say from .101 onwards
Also I always enter the device's IP at the Gateway

(Note: ASUS Tech team seem to move the Special ISP Requirement function over here, should be at WAN setup, strange ....)

 

WAN setup as follows

This is my QoS setup, change to suit your requirement accordingly
