Taiko jssc, thank you for your advise. Will try it again tonight. Working now. Thanks again.

anyway, what modem does tm give you?

Why is the VLAN ID=822 labelled for IPTV instead of VoIP?
With this you need further clarification whether if this VLAN ID is really used for the voice service.

I'm very certain now that the settings needed for VLAN ID=822 in your Tomato Shibby firmware is correctly assigned.
VLAN# 3, VLAN ID=822 Port 1 Checked & Tagged, Port 2-4 & WAN Empty, Bridge=None

Without further understanding of the VLAN settings inside your Huawei ONT & the Thompson Router for the voice(VoIP) service, you might not be able to match them correctly with your 3rd party router. The issue here might not be using 822 VLAN in your area, whether the Thompson router is untagging 822 packets or the Tomato firmware is not retagging the packets properly therefore unrecognized by the Thompson when relayed.

Just make sure you've everything done correctly and check your connection of wires to double confirm.

I'm able to telnet into my Thomson router. Let me know what command to display the VoIP configuration.

The alcatel white modem.

tried with the advice you gave, still failed to connect.
And tried with redo all the setup, but still failed to connect.
Any idea on how to solve it?
Is it because i am using the white alcatel modem?

Need advice(s) from all of you here.

Thank you ...

Bad news, not sure why, I'm no longer able to connect to the internet using the same settings again after I refreshed my NVRAM.

Dear jssc,

took some pictures on the light. please have a look for me.
i have connected all the devices as below

alcatel modem [port2] ------ [Wan]TP Link [Port 1] ----- [Wan]Thomson [Phone1] ----Phone







What i can do now?

If I have an Asus RT-N13U with DD-WRT custom firmware, how can I connect/configure the router to use Maxis Home Internet? My BTU is Huawei HG850a.

Anyone with an input will be much appreciated, thanks.

If I remember correctly, DD-WRT doesn't support VLAN more than 15 yet. Thus it cannot be used.
Unless you are able to hack the Huawei BTU to reconfigure it.

Bummer. Thought I could work my way around it without having the need to hack/access the BTU.

So there's no other workaround to this?

only change the vlan settings.

alcatel (lan2) -> tplink (Lan1)
thomson (wan) -> tplink (lan2)
don't use WAN on tplink.. is not working... since you can see on the tplink router.. the WAN port got no light at all

Would anyone mind sharing the default settings for the Zte931? Did some testing and had to reset it to default (factory).

Managed to get internet up and running but I can't seem to get the VoIP to work.

Much appreciated.

Is this done using custom or stock firmware?

Can I do it with DD-WRT?

Master jssc,

Good news, the internet is works now.
Thanks a lot to you, thumb up for you!!
must buy you teh tarik next time.

how above voip??

What is the objective of connecting a custom router directly to TM modem other than weak wifi signal ?

default firmware... i did not recommend custom firmware because it can be a pain in the arse to setup and not to mention losing the warranty.

1.better stability
2.more option that a advance user can play with & having full control of the router
3.already have a router that suits the users and dislike the thomson router

The problem is ASUS RT-N13U has the tendency to hang when using the default firmware. And if you look at the other thread, you can see people are still having problem with it.

=.=" that's the cheapest option with default firmware that works
user will get support from Asus and getting firmware updates that might help
so it's still newbie friendly right ??
