D-link DSL-2640B

http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/xdsl-technology-sig-196/mio-tv-other-routers-repost-2789386.html


juz wanted to post this for info
i do not like the 2wire bb router so i got a dlink dsl-2740b
but i signed up for mio home and got stuck with it coz of mio tv
yesterday i finally got down to configure the multiple vc support my router has

i configured 2 wan interfaces
one pppoe vpi/vci (0/100) for the bb and one bridging llc vpi/vci (1/100)
then i go to the port mapping for the options to enable virtual ports
i left my first 3 ports to the default group and create a miotv group for the 4th port together with the interface the router created for the bridge (the router named it so i couldn't change it)

retarted my router and everything is good to go

Note: Of course the mioTV ethernet port will have to be connected to the port which you bridge.
 ------------------------------------------------
recent d-link dsl-2640B works this way just as well

mioTV & internet (singnet broadband) works perfectly concurrently (i.e. both internet + mio tv). 
the d-link modem router delivers some 19-20 mbps to miotv for my end !
pretty stable so far, it rocks

the config screens are similar 
  ------------------------------------------------
for this router dsl-2640B it appear that using PPPOE with lots of config tends to 'overstress' the router, giving stability problems.

so far the best config tried is to use bridging for both singnet broadband & mioTV. But the twist is you'd need to dial up the broadband connection from your OS (e.g. WIn XP)

the settings of VPI / VCI: 0 / 100 for SNBB and 1 / 100 for miotv applies

setup bridging for SNBB & miotv

setup portmapping and put the miotv interface with a port dedicated to miotv

this turn out to be the more stable config and give many hours of stable & decent usage
SNBB + miotv simultaneously
