Subscribe Maxis FTTH, installed and activated in June. I did not have much problem with Thomson router, however was unsatisfied with the WIFI speed which is 65Mbps which is slow for streaming movie from pc to media player. After reading through post and decided to change to TP-Link TL-1043ND (i think there is not much stock out there, quite difficult to find one with price less then RM150).
Followed post by Sayboon, flashed back to openWRT, and setup the router according to KLSeet guide.
It was easy, just remember that vlan ids for Maxis is this:
621 - wifi (i tagged it on LAN port 1, unifi is 500)
822 - voip (i tagged it on LAN port 2)
823 - IPTV (i tagged it on LAN port 3, unifi is 600)
other than that, the just follow klseet write up.
Thomson router was connected to LAN1, and wifi was disable. It was used for VoIP, just same setup as jssc in page 9 here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2384890/+200.

Everything was right on the spot during the setup, except the wifi speed was still at 65Mbps  . This was tricky parts. Browsed and read many sites, finally found simple solution that need to run some script to turn off autoscan.
you have to download PuTTY  and type in telnet/ssh:
uci set wireless.radio0.noscan=1
uci commit
reboot
(I am n00b in linux & network, i just try)

All good for now
Hope this will help anyone who want to switch to custom router. Both TL-1043ND and openWRT give a lot flexibility and freedom to me too.

here are the video guide that i made for Asus RT-N66U router
so easy with this router
1.Connect Lan2 from modem to Asus RT-N66U WAN port
2.access your router 192.168.1.1 via lan or wireless
3.follow the video below

Hi, the LAN cable is connect to "WAN" port of RT-N66U or other LAN port?  I tried but not able to make connection.  Not sure is it because of the Alcatel Lucent BTU :|.

LAN 2 from BTU to WAN port RT-N66U , btw im using huawei BTU
if still no connection check ur Vlan ID setting and maxis ID/pass
if you using private ip
just set it up 123456@home.maxis.com.my

ek yout alcatel lucent btu using lan2 or lan1 port?
if lan1 just connect lan1 to wan port at your router

Device A: BTU = Huawei HG850a ™ <- Can't Access via webpage since TM Installer modified it with Firewall
Device B: Residential Gateway Router/Modem = Technicolor TG784n v3 [upgraded version of Thompson TG784n] (Maxis)
Device C: D-link 615 (Flashed firmware with DD-WRT interface UI) (UNIFI-TM)
I recently terminate my UNIFI & subscribe to Maxis Fibre.
They setup Device A(LAN 2 Port) + Device B (WAN Port) for me;
but I intend to use back the D-Link 615 (Device C) to replace the Device B.

*Warning: You will NOT able to use Maxis Dect-Phone VOIP Service with this setup.
My Final Setup
Device A (LAN 2 Port) + Device C (WAN Port)

GUIDE: http://unifi.athena.my/ddwrt_guide.php  *vlan2 change to '621' for Maxis

Basically, concept is the same with UNIFI, just the username+password & vlan tagging number changed.

Hi , i also encounter speed problem on the WR941ND...the speed was < 50Mbps...
can you explain abit how to do this telnet/ssh ?

All the bros here, can help me see this ? I had an error message as per the print screen, please help, I am using Belkin wireless router
[attachmentid=3087050]

Hi all,

I'm having the same issue.

Can anyone help us please?

Hope to solve this out and replace the lousy thomson router.

Thank you so much in advance.

btw, LAN1 for both(port binding & vlan tagging) are checked by default, instead of LAN2. Is it because we are using a different firmware version?
