Creating a new post to share with folks here.

Setup to get t Singtel Internet and IPTV working with 3rd Party Router (Without Vlan Support) with TP-Link SG108E Easy smart switch in Between ONT and Router .

Previous many have reported issues to work with the TPLink Easy Smart Switch.

Before this ,I have read many post here and many reported TP-link managed switch is not compatible with 802.1p priority setting and therefore cant get IPTV to work and Internet is also intermittent.

Below is setup I have done and initially also cant get it working with reference from many posts here but luck come in.


I did a reset to managed Switch and do a fresh setup and magically my notebook started to receive DHCP with IP address allocation on my ONT-> Switch-> Notebook LAN . Internet is working fine


Some tricks here
-Not setting it up to use 802.1p priority based using port base with modified Priority setting below ( The settings reference is based on UserGuide of TP-SG108E , which has a weird matching, 802.1p Priority 0 is not mapped to the lowest setting of Port-base Queue settings
After getting direct connection from ONT to Switch to untagged internet connection to work.. Switching it back to 802.1p does not impact the settings any more.


Hardware Smart Switch :TP-link, TL-SG108E , version 3 Hardware,

ONT->SWITCH->
Switch Ports
Port 1- ONT
Port 2- Tagged Port to serve as backup, to allow use of Singtel router/routers with Singtel Vlan settings
Port 3- To Routers without Vlan settings
Port 4-7 - Setup as Lan group ports , treat it as unmanaged switch , for use to route to other rooms AP/Switch/Bridge

Port-8 - Singtel IPTV

*Grouping of IPTV, can only select 2 ports, ONT and A single port, putting more than 2 ports slow down packet forwarding and resulted in stutter frames.


PVID Settings,
*actual setting, port 2 should have PVID 10

Prior to get 802.1P CoS to work, manual Port Base Priority was used.

Something to monitor with bad received packages
25659666_1609522009115234_4788913741904716423_n.jpg



Next Step is to monitor Internet performance.
I am currently setup the network running at my home with Google On Hub x2 with MESH Setup.

Singtel 1G Fibre with MIO TV Package.

1.Singtel IPTV- Working
*The Vlan group for IPTV 20, can only have 2 ports ( 1,8 ONT +SIngle IPTV Output), grouping more than 2 will have pause video issue.

2. Internet - Working
-Video Streaming working fine
-Phone applications no abnormally



Internet Performance needs further validation


Internet connection with Wifi Mesh - 600 MBps up/download based on Google App transfer speed reporting

Internet Speed LAN-with Speedtest.net, misleading results

Speedtest.net
->
Download - 920 MBps ,
Upload ->500 Mbps with Singtel Server

-> Revert to ASUS AC 56S to ONT, got the same result range, Assuming server Busy or my LAN connection is having some problem. In the past , I would get 900/900 MBps range of LAN Connection.

SpeedTest.net Beta :> Downlaod speed < 200 MBps, Upload- 550 MBps with Singtel Server, other servers , no download speed.

I did some further probing and change of network settings but doesnt seem to improve the case.

There is always 10% bad package received at ONT point and no bad packets after Router.
My Fibre Point 2-3 weeks back got a disconnection issue that NetLinkTrust needs to do a physical patching, that could be the issue. The Noise level is still high.


Internet speed test didnt get impacted much, i still get 930/900 (Download/Upload) speed .

I didnt do port swapping to validate is the ONT port is broken.

Look like SingTel update its IPTV settings, turning on IGMp snooping will cause freezing frames, video keep pausing issue.

No choice, have to update settings to get IPTV to work.

Perhaps you can share your setup to benefit the group here.

The Singtel IPTV settings kept changing , last time needed to turn on IGMP snooping but later have to disable it to get IPTV to work.

Im glad to see this working as i myself bought a smart switch and it didnt work.
I have not tried it with IGMP disabled and one difference was that i untagged the vlan20 at the miotv STB port the last time.

Anyway, i see that the vlan1 is a member of all ports. Is that secure?
Shldnt port 1 and 5 be tagged 10,20 only?

Port 1 - ONT trunk
Port 2 - Internet public ip 1
Port 3 - Internet public ip 2
Port 4 - Iptv
Port 5 - Passthrough for switch and ont management or stock singtel router (public ip 3 on vlan10)

Just tried this with my TL-SG105E this morning.

Internet works very well.
Port 1 -- connect to Singtel ZTE ONT
Port 2 -- Asus RT-AX82U with public IP 1
Port 3 -- pfSense with public IP 2
Port 5 -- Singtel Mesh router with public IP 3

However, Singtel TV box does not work on Port 4. It is very strange. I have also tried to connect it to Singtel Mesh Router on port 5 and it does not work either.

Singtel TV box works okay if I use Singtel Mesh Router or Asus RT-AX82U (with Singtel-others VLAN profile).
