UniFi - Huawei HG655a BTU as MODEM ROUTER

There are several forum members from Lowyat requested for a guide that how to configure Huawei HG655a BTU as a modem router. So that user can directly connect their PC into Huawei HG655a BTU's LAN ports.

Standard UniFi Setup
















Note that the Huawei HG655a LAN Port 1 is connected to D-Link DIR-615a's WAN Port where as the LAN Port 4 is connected to TM IPTV (IPTV may not work please do it at your own risk).

UniFi will provide a D-Link DIR-615 Wireless router or RG TMRnd Wireless router for all users no matter you're applying for Residential or Business use. Above is the standard setup for all UniFi users.

Configure Huawei HG655a as a Modem Router


After following my guide your setup will look like the above diagram.
Your PC or Network Switch will be directly connected to Huawei HG655a LAN ports.

THINGS TO PREPARE BEFORE WE PROCEED
1. Make sure you have your UniFi login ID and Password. The login ID should be xxx@unifi or xxx@unifibiz
1. Download Mozilla Firefox because sometimes the Huawei HG655a WebGUI will not work in Internet Explorer.
Let's begin..

Step 1 (Manually set Fixed IP):

Plug in a network into Huawei HG655a VDSL Modem LAN port 2. Because Huawei HG655a VDSL Modem by default the DHCP is disabled so you should configure manually set Local Area Connection to fixed IP like the example below.




Step 2 (Login to Huawei HG655a):











Open Mozilla Firefox and type the URL http://192.168.1.1/ key in the username and password below and click Login.

Username: admin
Password: hs5711Bbvl


Step 3 (Backup Configuration File):


After login navigate to Maintenance > Device > Configuration File tab. You should always backup your config file before proceed to the next step.

Step 4 (Configure WAN as PPPoE):

Go to Basic > WAN > select ptm1.500
Uncheck all Port Binding
Connection mode: Route
Type your UniFi login and password


Step 5 (Enable DHCP Server):

Go to Basic > LAN
Under DHCP Server check Enable
Start IP Address: 192.168.1.100
End IP Address: 192.168.1.254
Primary DNS Server Address: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS Server Address: 208.67.222.222


Step 6 (Verification):
Restart the Huawei HG655a BTU
Login to the admin page 
Go to Status > WAN > Network > Ensure the ptm1.500 is connected


Once its connected you're ready to online!

    I use this method for my unifi biz. It will not harm voip/voice setting right? BIZ package don't have iptv, only voip.

    Another thing is, can I change BTU LAN IP?
    example :
    -default BTU ip is 192.168.1.1
    -I want change it to - 192.168.0.2
    reason:
    -my office has it own gateway server
    -this server already have 3 x NIC NIC1-192.168.1.1, NIC2-192.168.0.1 --> connected to gigabit switch for internal network/internet sharing.
    -NIC3-192.168.0.2 connected to modem

    so I don't want BTU ip conflict to my current server IP

    My guide will not change any of the voip configuration. Yes you can change the BTU to any LAN ip.

      I have encountered this.. the solution is to remove the ptm.500 and add new. Input the VLAN box with 500, and other infos and click submit. No more error message.

    HI Stanley,
    I have just installed a new unifi account last November 2013 and I am not sure what is the model they provide.
    Is it possible to configure as follows
    Original Config
    --> port 1 connects to wireless router --> IPTV

    New Config
    --> port 1 --> wireless router 1 --> IPTV
    --> Port 2/3/4 --> wireless router 2 --> computers


    Thanks

    10.0.0.1 WiFi Strength Starts With Up To Date Systems

    It's simple for individuals when they have an issue to simply go out and purchase the best in class equipment and anticipate that that should take care of their issues.

    Typically, all that they have is in that spot. Producer's perceive that they can make blunders with their frameworks, or new revelations in their code can make their frameworks more proficient than they were previously.

    Along these lines, ensure that the gadgets that are being utilized are forward-thinking. This can fluctuate contingent upon what sort of gadget we're discussing.
