QUOTE(peacelover1990 @ Jun 16 2012, 12:59 AM) hurm, why screw? Googled around and checked this forum, seems the Huawei HG850a cannot be accessed via local IP at all. So I will have to buy a VLAN-tagging capable device....  Currently trying to get a Mikrotik switch (RB250A). I will try it out and see if it works. Will update if I successfully use a custom router setup. |

Good news!
 It is possible to use custom routers for Maxis FTTH setups with HG850a! Managed to get it working woohoo! |

Nice! Of course it's possible...all you need is a router that you can configure VLAN tagging and p-bit marking....

Ok, this is how I use my WRT54GL router with Maxis FTTH if you have Huawei HG850a GPON device. I assume it's mainly for landed properties.
Basically I followed all the instructions in this guide by rizanvp: http://unifi.athena.my/mikrotik_rb250gs.php The difference is on the VLAN tagging, which is done as below:  (click for larger version) Maxis has a lot VLAN's used, but the main ones should be: 621 Home Fiber Internet 822 VOIP 823 IPTV (apparently) Possible to define more than those listed, but not sure how to go about it for now. Following that, the port assignment. This assumes that; Port 1 = Huawei HG850a Port 2 = Your router Port 3 = VOIP device Port 4 = IPTV.  (click for larger version) After setting that, connect your own custom router as usual and enjoy   Gotta love those delicious bandwidth graphs in Tomato! TODO: Find out how to use VoIP in this setup. Unfortunately, my router is not a SIP device, but I assume if you have a SIP-enabled device, you can tag VLAN 621 and 822 on the same port to allow SIP connection.

actually...regardless of modem or ONT, the basic principal is that your router is transmitting WAN traffic tagged with the correct vlans and p-bit, so kurogane's method will work regardless whether the setup used VDSL modem or fiber ONT as access.

Check my post for the guide to HG850a. You will need a VLAN-tagging capable switch/router. |

And is VLAN capable router compulsory if i were to connect my router to the thomson and then relay the signals to my wireless device?

If you want to use your 300N wireless, set that router to DHCP. Then plug your router to the Thomson. this should turn it in to a wireless AP. Then configure your 300N wireless router settings. Configure the wireless on the Thomson to disable it of you don't plan on having so many WiFi network at home as well. This post has been edited by kurogane: Jun 20 2012, 04:14 PM |

Correct WAN port of your custom router to the LAN port of the thomson. Your custom router should get a DHCP IP and provide internet connectivity provided your custom router is setup as such and it self being a wireless AP. |

I hope you guys will find out very soon on how to connect phone to TM modem without Thomson router. All these bad feedbacks about Thomson router make me nervous. I need the phone and I don't want to have to use 2 routers :S
