Huawei WS880 Tomato-Shibby UniFi Ready

Refer to WS880 unlock & initial flash HERE

From Xwrt-Vortex to Tomato-Shibby, UniFi both Vlan.500 (PPPoE) & Vlan.600 (IPTV) ready

Somehow I didn't manage to unlock and flash this router directly to Tomato, need to unlock & flash to Xwrt-Vortex build first, then from the ASUSWrt build flash directly to Tomato.

Overall flashing process is pretty straightforward, this is how I flashed the WS880:

• Download latest Tomato-Shibby's WS880 build (K26-ARM AIO-64K build)
• Ensure the router already flashed with Xwrt-Vortex (ASUSWrt build)
• Important note during flashing process :
  • NEVER use wireless to flash firmware
    
  • DO NOT touch/move/unplug/disconnect or power-off anything
• Restore Factory default
  
• Flash the Tomato-Shibby build
• Power-off & power-on the router
• After router rebooted on new Tomato-Shibby build :
  • default IP = 192.168.1.1
  • default login & password = admin
  • Wait patiently for at least 10mins
  • go straight to Administration-->Configuration
  • select clear NVRam and reboot the router

Done, the WS880 is now on Tomato-Shibby build, good to go and enjoy all the Tomato goodies !!

Been running it for more than 19 days :

• temperature a bit warm to more than 75C (this is expected...)
• use a small USB fan to cool it down to around 63~67C
• occasionally wireless drop on some of my mobile devices, need to disconnect & re-connect again
• occasionally IPTV (Vlan.600) seem to shutter or image break (not sure whether it's my STB issue or not ...)
• Remote router access login not working ...
  
• IPv6, QoS, DDNS seem working well
• Place my Xbox360 console on DMZ, console show NAT=Open, online gaming & download no major issue
  
• I enabled the CTF cut through with QoS on, but can't tell whether it's working or not since I'm on 50Mbps package ...

Overall I'm happy with this new toys
