T-Home IPTV over wireless bridge

From Linux Man Pages

Disclaimer: I have not tried this setup with a real wlan-bridges as I dont own enough wireless devices to actually test it. I hope the wlan bridge will pass through PPPOE traffic. This setup can also be used to bridge other non-multicast enabled devices as well.

Setup

 X-300T <- LAN ->
 Speedport 700V/701V <- LAN VLAN.7 ->
 WLAN Bridge <- WIRELESS ->
 WLAN Bridge <- LAN ->
 Linux Router <- LAN VLAN.7 ->
 Speedport 300HS <- INTERNET ->

VLANs

 vconfig add eth0 7

We have a pppoe-server running on our Linux box, answering to dial up requests from the Speedport.

 pppoe-server -L 192.168.0.5 -R 192.168.0.6 -I eth0.7 -T 0 -d
                 ^ Local PPTP   ^ Router IP    ^ Internal IFACE

The Local PPTP IP will be the IP of the pppX interface, like your modem ppp0/dsl0 interface gets a local and remote ip which is not the same as the nic-interface ip the modem is connected to. Likewise, router ip is the IP assigned to the Speedport 700V / Speedport 701V after dialup.

Since all IPTV traffic is encapsulated in PPPOE, it should not be a problem to route the traffic over a non-multicast enabled network.

If you based your router setup on T-Home IPTV without speedport W 700V you have to change the downstream interface to pppX
