My VOIP not working since first day of installation day, will check with Maxis cs.
Thanks again.

Thanks. Instead of connecting directly to TM modem, why not make use of any existing router, change the router connection type to AP mode then connect LAN to LAN with the Thomson and still have VoIP working + two wireless SSIDs or switch off the Thomson wifi radio ? Any disadvantage in this alternative option compare to the first option ?

I would love to use my Mikrotik router over the original Thomson router given by Maxis. I manage to configure my Mikrotik router to establish a connection with the BTU but my problem is, I can't get my VOIP phone working because the port is on the Thomson router

I guess u gotta try other firmware instead of tomatousb.
or wait and see asus will come out a firmware that support maxisbb.

I've tried Toastman firmware. Same problem.

well a lot people complaining about random time out issue with thomson router why still wan use it
it's up to you which way you choose

I'm using thomson too 24*7 for over 18 months... there is no disconnection issues, at least not as rampant as you guys claim it to be...

I think it is case to case basis. Some people stack the BTU and router, place it in a hot/pack area, etc. As usual, any IT related component if exposed to long term heat will cause it to be unstable and malfunction.

My advice is NOT to stack the BTU/router and try to put it in a place where it's exposed to open air. This is recommended if you want to turn it on 24/7

Which model is your Thomson Router?

Is your room constant temperature of 24C ?

Yesterday installed everything works fine on Day 1 .... Today Day2 come back from work already "Concentrator not reachable" error.... nan daiooooo... *faint*

bro i don't think that is so cooling , see here .. and as you can see it sits deep in the cab but still i'm able to get the signal downstairs in my dining area...

You're on maxis own fiber network? I see the ONT has maxis logo...

It is just a sticker... its a Huawei HG8240 http://www.huawei.com/en/products/fixed-ac...g8240/index.htm

our area has only Maxis, so you could be right we might be on maxis own fiber network..

Perhaps the dining area is just right below the router and the signal is below 50% ??

yup you can say the dining is just below the cabinet, consider a concrete slap in between plus the staircase is position at the side of the house (not right in the middle), I would say the signal is just good enuf to stay online downstairs..

nevertheless, most of my online media downstairs are on cat5e to the HP proserve giga switch... so I don't really bother much about wifi signal downstairs...

I've somehow managed to get the connection to my Maxis Home Fibre through the Asus RT-N13U with DD-WRT custom firmware.

However, the speed is limited to max 5MB. I am not sure why, though.

bro, have u try to change tagging the 621 to other port instead of wan port, but cable remain plug in to the default port.
cause i suspect something wrong with the shibby firmware...
my router in shibby firmware default for vlan 1 should mark on wan but it goes to port 4, even i change it to wan but restart router it goes back to port 4.
u can c it inside the spoiler

May I know what model is your router?

Will double check later.

Mine is Asus RT-N12 C1 with latest tomatousb "shibby" firmware.
My Maxis Fiber not yet available, installation schedule on 18th august.
But I wish to change to public ip and change the thomson router after the installtion done.
