Telkom Unlimited Broadband and Netflix (US via Unotelly)

[threecardtrick]

Hi

Is anyone that's using Telkoms Unlimited Broadband LTE using Netflix? What quality do you get? Can you watch House of Cards in 4k or just full hd?

Also those with Roku's, Was there anything special you needed to configure in order to get it to work with the B315 routers? Or are those routers as configurable as say a D-Link where you could put in custom DNS entries?

Not sure about 4K, but streaming is pretty great with zero buffering

You will have to get another router to configure DNS as the B315 can't do custom DNS settings

Yeah, the B315 router is really limited. a piece of junk. The unlimited broadband service has been awesome thus far.

Can I use my current adsl router in bridged mode? Would that work? The Roku relies on the router as you can't configure dns on the device itself anymore.

Should work.

Can anyone explain how to set up the second router in "bridged mode"? I have the B315 set up and am getting great speeds but the next step of bridging to another router so I can change the DNS is proving tricky.

i gave up trying to configure my adsl router as router or access point. telkom routers are just so limited...i used another router without adsl (ASUS RT-N56U)and used that as the main internet gateway with unotelly dns settings and static ip wan connection to the B315. using the internet port of the asus router connected to lan port of B315 router. I also added this static ip in the DMZ settings of B315.

Thanks for that...


Might be a hurdle I'll have to cross when I try put this B315 in front of my Mikrotik at home...

i considered going the mikrotik route but when i saw how technical it was to setup i shied away....i wanted to keep a 2mbps adsl line to use for p2p and nntp and the rest lte and use the mikrotik to manage the routing....but my current setup seems to work

Thanks for that...

Will be doing the exact same as you, if and when I ever receive my telkom stuff.

Thanks! Will give this a try tonight

Was way too easy to setup... I actually had to simplify my config a little bit....

It should work just use the setup wizard to setup a wan connection.
