Thanks to LYN member Rizvanrp for recommending this first device to replace the DIR-615!
Also thank him for helping to configure and setup which was posted here.

 

Notes:

  • This device will handle vlan tagging (500 for Internet & 600 for IPTV), it does not has router and wifi functions
  • User is free to choose and use their own prefer/existing router (not ADSL+router device), just need to setup PPPoE (like Streamyx)
  • Ensure the RB250GS firmware is 1.2 and above before setup for UniFi, check manufacturer website for latest firmware
  • The following setup is based on Rizvanrp's guide, I change to use Port1 for incoming, Port4 for internet & Port5 for IPTV
  • Default IP is 192.168.88.1 user ID is "admin"  with blank password
  • You need to set your PC/laptop with static IP 192.168.88.x  subnet 255.255.255.0 to access the device

 

Hard reset the unit first!

 

Setup for UniFi:

 

 

 

 

 


 

Connection:
