Thanks for sharing bro. I am using a Mikrotik router but great to know that it can be done. I shall try tonight.


Do you mind to share if I should connect my custom router to Thomson's WAN port or LAN port? Also, does the two routers need to share the same subnet? Do I need to disable DHCP or Thomson router?

Thanks.

Thanks for pointing that out for me.  Sorry I got confused by what you meant  notworthy.gif

My WAN port is actually physically dead.. probably due to line noise from lightning  cry.gif It was working before.

It's good to know about the potential problem with the WAN port due to the firmware on the newer 1043 models; so I will bookmark it.

For all of you out there, imho the TP-Link WR-1043ND quite a good value for a nearly full featured router @ <RM160, USB port, Gigabit ports, 8MB flash for openwrt.  Only thing missing is dual-band N wifi.

However, if there are other good value routers out there, I would like to be proven wrong (for my future purchases) wink.gif

I received the above PM, so I am just putting my response in public for the benefit of all:

Yes, you are right.

My custom router is the TP-Link WR-1043ND running a custom firmware, openwrt. I configured openwrt to have VLAN id 822 go from WAN to a specific LAN port. You may find some more instructions in this thread.

After that, just plug in the thomson router to the specific LAN port above, not just any port. It should work with no changes to the thomson router itself. If it doesn't, like in my case, you may have to delete the telephony settings and re-add it back.

1) connect the dedicated VLAN port of your custom router to the Thomson WAN port
2) it shouldn't matter if the two routers are on the same subnet or not. If your mikrotik is sending VLAN 822 data to the thomson, it would be in ethernet frames, which have no bearing on the higher-level IP protocol, I believe.

and 3), you shouldn't need to do anything to the thomson, other than disabling the wifi. unless you want to have two wifi hotspots.

I bought the wrong routerfrom 1043 to 941ND...sad.gif . I flash openwrt but i can't find the "switch" feature at network tab.. (this is wat i realize i doing something wrong already...)

But without using the trank firmware as stated by Keet , i use his version of workaround
1) i copy several setting for vlan 621

vconfig add wan 621
ifconfig wan.621 up
ifconfig lan4 up
exit 0

2) WinSCP step to change the /etc/config/network to tag wan port to wan.621.

and now i'm surfing internet no more using thomson but TpLink.

my 2nd issue was , how can link tp-link to thomson to resume back my VOIP from thomson.. ??? anyone ?

Hi all,

I have read throught all the post but couldnt find a solution for my case.

I want to use the custom router as well to replace the lousy Thompson.

The guideline discussed in this thread show that the btu modem model is Huawei HG655a (for vdsl)
However, in my case, I am having a modem of Fiberhome AN5506-04 which was provided by TM installer.

Normally this Fiberhome will be provided by TM in Klang Valley landed home only.

I have no idea on what is the username and password to login into this Fiberhome fiber modem.
I need to log into this btu to modify some part,  same as it is done for Huawei.

Could anyone share on how to solve this?

Thank You

yup same here, i want to replace this POS(piece of shi+), everytime a machine with bitcomet starts, router sure die in less than 10 mins.

I able to figure out the login, username is Administrator and password is the access key which can be found behind the router, should be like 7-8 character long, and case sensitive. What i unable to figure out is how to get all setting out from the maxis POS. I need to know the ip address/subnet of the modem, and my account password, etc. Anybody have done that willing to share your experience ? thank you.

Just buy a wifi extender (tplink or asus). currently only asus can configure without custom firmware. But u'll need to know the vlan id. But u'll lose the VoIP doing so.

I would recommend using the same router but buy a wireless extender

There is no need to access ur modem.. All username n password are in the router..

U'll should be able to backup the configuration file n open it as it is just text.

The backup option is located somewhere in your router.. Check all the settings
