1. Too busy with work lately, no time to follow up/update the following post. Might already be obsolete.

2. There are more router that supports Maxis in the market currently, I have written a tutorial using TP-Link TL-WR1043ND V2 which can support both MAXIS and UNIFI. Please click on the link below for more information,

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry73305595


3. If You are looking for high power antenna router, please visit my review on TP-Link WR841HP.

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry74118792



3. Feel free to visit some of my other writings on TP-Link Bandwidth Control and Range Extender,

THANK YOU!


======================================================================


Some review about Maxis FTTH :
Speed quite okay, not much different compared to UniFi, but the Thomson router is lousy!


P/S : I am not a network expert, just for sharing purpose, if i am wrong please correct me.

Difference between UniFi and Maxis VDSL connection :
UniFi VoIP is directly connected to TM's Huawei VDSL Modem, while Maxis VoIP is connected to Maxis Thomson Router.
Different VLAN Tagging,
Maxis : VLAN 621, VLAN821, VLAN822

Resources / Reference : http://stanleytiang.blogspot.com/


NOTE : This guide only applies to high rise installation using VDSL (TM Huawei HG665a VDSL MODEM).

*If you intend to do this for ZTE VDSL modem, please follow a similar guide here : http://www.azim.my/unifi/
*I have not tested this on ZTE VDSL, but i think it shouldn't be a problem for it to work.

Equipment Involved : TM Huawei Echolife HG655a VDSL Modem, Maxis Thomson TG784n Router, TP-Link WR842ND Router (CUSTOM, can be any brand or model, but NOT ADSL MODEM ROUTER).


Default Maxis Installation :
NOTE : Maxis Thomson router is connected to LAN2 of Huawei HG655a VDSL Modem.
user posted image


After Modification :
NOTE : Maxis Thomson router is connected to LAN2 (For VoIP Purpose only), Your CUSTOM Router is connected to LAN3.
user posted image


STEP 1 : Take a LAN cable and connect to Port 1 of TM Huawei Hg655a VDSL Modem, make sure you set your PC's Local Area Connection IP to fixed as indicated by below Pic.

user posted image


STEP 2 : Type 192.168.1.1 in your Chrome/Firefox browser,
Username : admin
Password : hs5711Bbv
l


user posted image


STEP 3 : Backup your Huawei configuration file first so that you can easily restore back if anything happens.

user posted image

STEP 4 : Navigate to Basic -> WAN.
Click on ptm1.621
UNTICK LAN2 on both Port Binding and VLAN Tagging.
TICK LAN3 on Port Binding ONLY!
Click on Submit button!


user posted image

STEP 5 : Connect your CUSTOM Router to PORT 3 of Huawei HG655a VDSL Modem!

STEP 6 (Optional) : Connect to your WEB GUI of your ROUTER, change the IP of your router to 192.168.1.254

user posted image


STEP 7 : Configure the PPPoE dialler for your router.

NOTE :
Sample Maxis Username : 12345@home.maxis.com.my (Private IP)
Password : 123451 (Always + number 1 to the back of your username)


user posted image

Maxis comes with Private IP in default, if you want to get Public IP, just give the customer service a call and tell them you want to host your CCTV/etc and request a Public IP from them, they will then activate it for you and will call you back a few more days to teach you how to configure. Basically just change the word HOME to PUBLIC. Username : 12345@PUBLIC.maxis.com.my (Public IP).


STEP 8 (Optional ) : Turn off Thomson Wireless Transmission.

Connect your PC to Thomson Router,
Type 192.168.1.254 into your browser,
Navigate to Home Network -> Interfaces
Click on WLAN: ThomsonXXXXX (XXXmbps).


user posted image

Click Configure on top right corner.
UNTICK Interface Enabled.


http://i49.tinypic.com/14udkc4.jpg


FINAL LOOK :

http://i50.tinypic.com/1hdo3m.jpg

DONE!


Maxis uses VLAN 621 for Internet, and VLAN 821 / 822 for VoIP (Either one and I think another one will be for future IPTV deployment, expert please help to figure out).

In this modification, Thomson router will be retained for sole VoIP purpose, however full migration of VoIP to Huawei VDSL modem is possible if we have the configuration details for Maxis VoIP. If anyone has it, please share! You may switch off your Thomson router if you don't intend to use the VoIP service.

If we don't use the VoIP (DECT phone), we can turn off the Thomson gateway, right ?

Im noob and im tracking this. TS, im currently setting all my PC and laptops to automatically retrieve IP address instead of setting the IP address as per your Step 1, Any different made? can i configure the same to the Maxis Thomson router?

Since im on automatic retrieve IP address, i always having this sudden disconnect and reconnect of internet. Sometime even worst when i on and off my modem and router. The modem totally no power no signal. Until the extend now i dare not on off the modem and router. It took me forever to get back the connection. It is related to the Private and public IP address thing? Thanks

Yeap, can turn off Thomson if you don't want to use VoIP. Waiting for experts to figure out Maxis VoIP settings so that we can have full migration from Thomson to TM's Huawei VDSL modem.

Hurm, Step 1 is needed because the DHCP (Automatic IP Assignment) in Huawei VDSL modem is off by default, so you need to get yourself a fixed IP to access the Huawei VDSL modem. After you are done with Huawei, you can change back to Obtain IP Automatically for the rest of configuration.

I think the problem you encounter is due to the substandard Thomson router or maybe there is some problem with your line, not very sure about this but the Thomson router performance is really bad. It is not related to Private or Public IP thing.

i agree too, connection is slow and Voip like delay 2 seconds only can hear the tone. On off the router still a night mare.

Will too many on off modem or the router will reset the configuration? im a green earth freak, don really like to waste electricity when not in use.

Hurm, theoretically too many on/off will not reset the configuration as the Conf file is saved inside the router's NVRAM. But in reality, it may happen due to low quality product and etc, not very sure though. I am most frustrated with the Thomson router, the worst i have ever seen. Change yours too!

No, we need more detailed configuration to migrate it to TM Modem, for example the server address and etc...... Hope someone can work on that.

Hmmm... okay. I will try anyways sad.gif

Also for OP, regarding the VOIP SIP settings, here's a dump of the output from telnet from my default config. Not sure if this will help or not.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Additionally, the VLAN tagging list

CODE

:eth vlan list
Vid      Name
---      ----
1        default
2        dummy
18       HotSpot
621      HSI_vlan
721      SME_vlan
821      MGMT_vlan
822      VoIP_vlan
823      VOD+BTV_vlan


CODE

:eth bridge vlan iflist

---      ----            --------------------------------
1        default         OBC*, ethport1*, ethport2*, ethport3*, ethport4*, virt*, WLAN*
2        dummy           Eth_WAN*
18       HotSpot         Eth_WAN

822      VoIP_vlan       OBC, Eth_WAN
823      VOD+BTV_vlan    OBC, Eth_WAN


You can grep the info by telnetting to your thomson using the Administrator id.

Every router will work, no VLAN tagging function is needed in Router as we have removed the VLAN tagging from TM's Modem! Thanks for the information, i will figure out how to migrate VoIP and your information showed that VLAN 621 is for Internet, VLAN822 is for VoIP and VLAN821 is for MGMT (don't know what is that haha)~ rclxms.gif

I'd like to know if I can use Apple Time Capsule as router?

Also, I hope you'll find a way to connect the phone directly to TM's modem instead of to the Thomson router.

And err... for landed installation.

Would not say it's lousy. It's perfectly usable apart from the fact it runs pretty hot, the management interface is slow and confusing, there's a lack of customizability, random hanging, no QoS options and a pretty bandwidth.

Sorry, I just miss my awesome Tomato-powered WRT54GL sad.gif

Yeah, the VLAN listing does say the same. SME =business.

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.

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.

After setting that, connect your own custom router as usual and enjoy biggrin.gif

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.

I believe this is the guide? and if so, wow. i don't understand a thing. (big time network noob here) well, i just want an additional router to utilize the 300N network infrastructure in my house. so yeah. i'm not planning to migrate anything (VoIP, PPPoE etc.) to my new 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?

*i'm doing alot of bluray video streaming across devices, wireless file transfers, remote desktop and so on. that's why 300N is a must for me but this thomson shit is giving me trouble. smile.gif

Actually now that I reread your post, doesn't sound like my guide is what you want.

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.

okay. So basically connect both router through any LAN port right? or from WAN port of my custom router to the LAN port of the thomson?

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.

however when i try to access the http://192.168.100.1. it cannot load the page. wondering if it's firewalled or we have to open the gui different port?

actually Huawei HG850a is ONT, the whole fiber thing is still proprietary. The provisioning (configuration and authorization) is done remotely by OLT, so most probably you won't be able to log in and configure it to your liking

if i can remember the recent installation & setup of my HG850a. tm tech configures it via notebook. the new equiptment was preconfigure i believe so. because he shows me the asset was new. but the box was opened before.

so when he goes to gui. he logs in using ***admin. there are few words before i can't remember. as for password is all fully numerics. which is to say they changed it before sending onsite. but i am not sure if the username & password posted on web forums will work.

looking back, seem like a vlan tagging switch was needed to access the gui. interestingly noted. the steps are very straight forward. except that during configuration by tm tech he does not need it. just plug direct to notebook. i mean lan to lan port.

all i want is to login to hg850a. the rest i know what to do. any findings will be shared.

Good luck figuring it out. If you can find out please do share. I could not find anything in this forum apart from the info this model is firewall blocked from accessing the firmware using common methods. I really do want to use my own router AND the VoIP at the same time.

Well, I will be trying out a few more things this weekend. Got an idea now after researching thru some forums but nothing guaranteed yet.

look like tm had made attempts to secure the hg850a. know why the can always charge rm200 per onsite visit. their contractor told me lotsa ppl doing monkeying with their devices. hence it's good money for them.

i found out the ip for hg850a was 192.168.100.1, yup u are correct it's firewalled.

i am so happy i get rid of the sickening dir-615.

I remember one of the early subsriber , lyn member 'aricat' has the access to the Huawei EPON...I got his instruction in PM previously but I have somehow erased that off... So, perhaps someone could ping aricat and ask for help.

Sadly nothing can be done even if you manage to access the ONT, because the ONT is controlled centrally by their system, and I think they have a scheduled 'push' of instructions to your huawei ONT each day, so all changes you've done will be reset. And furthermore, you can never set to change your ONT having a public IP. Dealing with the ONT is something new, which needs qualified personnel to deal with it's settings, but if you're feeling adventurous, there is a device document available in Chinese :-

tm unifi voip & deck phone is connected directly to Huawei EPON. the voip led shows green means your motorola phone is able to make calls & receiving calls.

the challenge now since the EPON is property of tm (NOT Maxis). it make sense why the maxis aztech deck has to connect to thompson wifi modem. which to say in order to replace the thomson device. it's not easy to find a compatible replacement device that comes with phone jacks.

if the EPON is centrally controlled. if u made changes to it. then it will revert to ori setting. meaning to say u have to reuse your ori device. i m not sure about this claim written out there.

however for unifi users. they can easily opt router replacement. without tampering thei Huawei EPON. only that the iptv still stick to LAN4 on the replacement router. if you opt use Asus devices for example. unifi has room for customization infact. ppl can opt other routers like tplink & etc if they wishes.. but has to be compatible. else the devices won't work else ended wasting money.

in fact the most expensive device not actually has best compatibility.

For the voip setting, i think still nid to find out what port/gateway are maxis using only can configure. If can find out and router got Qos function theory should be able set to any Lan port

All these are accessible via telnet.

once you are in the telnet session, just type menu, you will see all the possibilities. The Web UI is stripped/locked down.

Tried again yesterday to enable VoIP with custom router using the RB250GS switch. I managed to get the Thomson to connect to Maxis' VoIP server but it seems the real traffic is carried across the PPPoE interface so I can't actually call or receive...

Looks like it's either fall back to the Thomson or buy a VoIP capable router now...

Did you managed to get a SIP IP from the VOIP server ? Did you configure a DHCP client to get the IP from the VOIP DHCP svr ? From my ethergateway port I can't seem to ping the VOIP DHCP but could do so via Thomson.

You said that it seems real traffic is carried across PPPoE but if that is true, the VOIP phone would not be working until PPPoE connection is established. However, I noticed typically the phone line is working even before internet is on the Thomson. Do you observe the same ? Try rebooting your thomson, you will see the phone line LED light up before the Internet one does.

I set the switch to tag packets coming out of the Thomson to 821 and finally can connect the SIP IP 10.34.xx when the Thomson turns on. So the phone 1&2 lights up. but then i plug my phone into the jack, both also not working. No dial tone, can't call out or call in...

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

from my observation. the router will only gila when i torrent.
my house have more than 5 user. and when i run torrent, the router will get really hot. and it will start gila.
after i put a cooler pad to cool down the router, this problem never happen.

but the wifi signal still sucks. tried to change channel also not improve the signal.
My house is double storey.
even the AP signal (upstairs) which i bridge the thomson router(downstairs) is better when im at ground floor.

Guys,

Can someone help to provide guide step by step on how to configure Alcatel Lucent BTU to output VLAN 621 to port 2 and other VLAN (i.e VOIP) to other port

I have my own router with DD-WRT; however it doesnt really support VLAN tagging

Note Alcatel Lucent only works using command prompt; hence the guide in this page is not gonna work

All ONT's are proprietary ( for now) regardless Huawei or ALU. If you read up on how last mile fiber to the home works, you'll know that provisioning is done by the OLT remotely...so even if you can manually set it temporarily, most probably when you reboot, the setting will be overwritten.

simple... just TICK LAN2 on both Port Binding and VLAN Tagging.
UNTICK LAN3 on Port Binding ONLY!

I gather up some that works default without the need of ddwrt/openwrt

TP-Link TD-W8960N
Most of the asus router in the page i think can support vlan tagging but very hard to find info because they already have support from Asus to have the firmware integrate with Unifi

laugh.gif the method post in first page is for those people stay in high rise building(not by me)
They can access their modem so it's easier for them
for everyone else that don't have access to the modem(like me) will need a vlan tagging capable router


about the stability...
My router with OpenWRT was way better then the default Thomson router
no more overheat hang and all those random stuff happens to me
speed wise it's the same 10mbps all the time
i can watch youtube and torrent at the same time because of the better QOS

I am sure we have no problem messing around with it because every user will be using the same setting

we are still using the same setting just migrate the setting to our own router

unless the tp-link router flash to DD-WRT firmware then we can use, or also can choose ASUS RT-N13U

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get my TP-Link 1043ND to split the incoming Huawei signal for PPPOE and VOIP. I'm not sure if my idea will work so I would welcome any suggestions.

Huawei -> TP-Link -> Thomson

I'm running openwrt, and have tried to configure the VLAN on TP-Link to redirect the Huawei connection. So far, I've managed to get the TP-Link to work and obtain a PPPOE connection. This means the network devices in my house are now able to use the FTTH via the Tp-Link (bypassing the Thomson).

The problem I'm getting is that I can't seem to get the TP-Link to pass the 821/822 VLAN over to the Thomson. The Thomson doesn't seem to get a VOIP SIP link up. Looking at the event logs, it seems that the management port is up.

I have this in my /etc/config/network file (a truncated output):

config 'switch_vlan'
option 'device' 'rtl8366rb'
option 'vlan' '1'
option 'ports' '3 4 5t'

config 'switch_vlan'
option 'device' 'rtl8366rb'
option 'vlan' '621'
option 'ports' '0t 1t 5t'

config 'switch_vlan'
option 'device' 'rtl8366rb'
option 'vlan' '821'
option 'ports' '1t 2t'

config 'switch_vlan'
option 'device' 'rtl8366rb'
option 'vlan' '822'
option 'ports' '1t 2t'

Note that my TP-Link's WAN port is busted so I'm using the switch ports for the incoming routing. I have the Huawei plugged into port 1, and the Thomson plugged into port 2. (Port 0 is the WAN port that is busted). Anyone have ideas on what else needs to be changed? Thanks in advance

Hi, need help, just now i try to config TPLink WR841N with Zte 931 at my parent house.

The Tm tech config the Lan1 with Unifi setting and Maxis using Lan2.

So i plan to connect thomson to Lan 2 and WR841N to Lan 3.

In Zte configuration;

Under Port Binding, for 621, I untick Lan 2 and tick Lan 3.

Under Vlan Trunk, for Lan 2:

Supported Vlan number i change from 4 to 3,
and choose 821, 822 and 823 as Vlan ID, I remove 621 from here.

Under Vlan Trunk Lan 3,

Supported Vlan number I put 1,
set Vlan ID as 621.
PVID as NA.

After this, I restart all device.

Now Thomson connect to Lan 2 and WR841N connect to Lan 3.

The VOIP phone is working, but WR841N unable to connect to internet.

Under system log file, it show error, time out waiting for PADO packets,

Any sifu got any idea?

yeah simple...

anyway i am already on public IP, and the VPN connection still fail.

1. so I would like to know why does it fail on maxis (thomson) and works on Streamyx (dlink)?

2. and changing the thomson router to TP link will work (using public ip)?


Thank you again

no port forward on the dlink router, but checking on the specification of the dlink router, it does allow VPN passthrough. no idea if this is available on the thomson router.

But still, not sure if this is the reason that causes the VPN connectivity failure.

I already tried port forwarding for PPTP, L2TP, port 50 & 51


numbertwo,

what type of VPN you are using?
i think mine is IPSec (ESP)

if the error is while saving the setting after untick-ing the vlan tagging and port binding for port2, you will need to delete the vlan621 first and add it manually but this time, only choose port binding for port3

what do you mean by VPN client, can you give an example?

anyway, the VPN software is internal software. so can't exactly tell what VPN client

i checked from the system log, these terms are there IPSec, ESP, SHA1, DES3

Added on July 11, 2012, 9:33 amSigh couldn't work, probably my belkin doesn't dial the pppoe properly.

Anyway, I've set the belkin as AP to extend the THOMSON lan and turn off the THOMSON WiFi interface.

Although not optimal configurations but stability and reliability of WiFi increased and I'm happy now! !

Thanks

Finally I can connect the TPlink router to Zte 931ii. biggrin.gif

The default setting for the Lan Port is


Lan 2

Support Vlan Number : 4
Vlan ID 1: 621
Vlan ID 2: 821
Vlan ID 3: 822
Vlan ID 4: 823

PVID : NA



I tried to connect the TPlink router with this setting but failed, keep on request time out for PODO packets.

then i changed the setting as below and I able to connect with TPlink router.


Lan 2

Support Vlan Number : 0

PVID : 621


or

Lan 2

Support Vlan Number : 3
Vlan ID 1: 821
Vlan ID 2: 822
Vlan ID 3: 823


PVID : 621


I tried to connect Thomson to Lan 3 for VOIP but cannot, but before i able to connect with TPlink, I able to connect Thomson with VOIP by below setting, sad.gif


Lan 3

Support Vlan Number : 3
Vlan ID 1: 821
Vlan ID 2: 822
Vlan ID 3: 823

PVID : NA


Any ideas?

for landed property you will need a vlan tagging capable router
i.e. Asus RT-N13U
set it up properly and you are done

if it works along with customized router... we can kiss maxis thompson goodbye over their shitty overheating problems, wifi problems & free public wifi. because some ppl do see a user id "maxis" login to router. who the hell is that?

ok, will try your suggestion. Thanks man


Added on July 11, 2012, 9:33 amSigh couldn't work, probably my belkin doesn't dial the pppoe properly.

Anyway, I've set the belkin as AP to extend the THOMSON lan and turn off the THOMSON WiFi interface.

Although not optimal configurations but stability and reliability of WiFi increased and I'm happy now! !

Thanks

This should be the easiest setup if confirm the thomson lan port r fine just wifi bad,& practically all wifi routers are workable. Disable thomson wifi oso shut off the unknown maxis wifi id effectively rclxms.gif

interesting, does it work. or you need to configure the adapter?

if it works along with customized router... we can kiss maxis thompson goodbye over their shitty overheating problems, wifi problems & free public wifi. because some ppl do see a user id "maxis" login to router. who the hell is that?
*
no it can't work i still try to configure out, because i need more detail for the maxis voip setting.

if I'm not wrong, my settings can be use for all modem...
cause the setting in on the TP-Link router not in the modem. I'm not did anything on modem.

and the thomson is only for VOIP, not other.

Just tag the lan1 and lan2 that all.


modem -> TP-LINK -> Internet
LAN1 -> Thomson PG (VOIP)

I'm using HUAWEI modem

1)common complain
2)has been discuss in the official fibre thread.
3)speedtest not always correct best is you to download some large file from internet.
4)yes there's plenty of replacement you can get one of it would be Asus RT-N13U or just get any router that has vlan tagging

for landed property most probably you will have no access to the modem
no access to the modem means your cannot mess with the vlan setting in the modem
your choice will be using a switch with Vlan like this one and then you can use any router you like

Can I configure the Thompson router as a bridge? Just like how people using Unify have the option to use the DIR615 as a bridge and connect a custom router to the DIR 615?

PS - how much is the Asus router.

That makes sense now, so if I use that, there won't be VOIP support, unless someone can hack into the modem, but if that's possible, any router can be used together right.

Just wondering, what about the future when maxis launch IPTV, since this router works with unify IPTV, just a matter of time when maxis launches the IPTV, then we just configure the VLAN port?

Bro, do you mean that for a landed property, the only equipment that the customer can "touch and see" is the superduper crappy Thomson router? So even if we replace this Thomson router with a router like the Asus RT-N13U-B1, the Asus router won't work because we have no modem to mess around with?

Thanks.

you only have to access the tm huawei if u wanna attach the phone direct to device. or for unifi users shift their iptv from router there hehee.

from my observation during installation. they directly connect LAN to LAN port. which works perfectly. when the service is up & connected. i did try to access the gui. but it dissappears after bootup. darn they apply security settings to it.

it take time for manufacturer come out with a router with voip & tel jack. but has to be certified to work with unifi/maxis.

Is this VoIP SIP compliant?

If can why not consider a soft based app for light users who doesn't want a real phone.

Also it only costs RM48 or RM68 to retain your copper TM fixed line with free monthly minutes.

Hi,
I've flashed my Asus RT-N16 router to the latest Shibby's Tomato Firmware which supports VLAN 3 digits. I did not configure anything on the Huawei fibre box yet. Just plug the LAN2 to ASUS WAN port. But after configure the Asus VLAN and reboot and I'm having connecting stage. Any help is appreciated.

Have you configured your VLAN as on page 1 of this thread?

If YES then you don't even need to configure anything on the router page you're currently on because the port 3 on your Huawei BTU is already tagged with the VLAN ID.

Clear that page you showed and configure your to dial PPPoE out like your Streamyx and set DHCP as normal...Make sure your router WAN port is connected to port 3 of your BTU.

Delete all VLAN Profiles 0-2.Clear them.
If that is the case then set WAN as bridge and assign the VLAN ID to any ports. All under a SINGLE VLAN Profile.
Dial out as PPPoE as normal.
Save and Reboot. Check if internet connection is through.

So BTU is your modem, VLAN is tagged to ethernet packets for the specified port and your router makes the PPPoE connection.

MIGHT Not Work.

VoIP compatibility is not guaranteed.

Since you're using LAN port #2.

For VLAN # 0,
Set VID=621, Tag Port 2, Default and Bridge=WAN.

Configure the rest like your PPPoE account dialup and DHCP like your Streamyx.
Save and Reboot.

Dear Expert,
Can guide me on how to set the correct VLAN for my Asus Tomato Router (RT-N16). Still not very understand about those VLAN, Port(s) and Tagging.

How to set the VLAN 1 by 1 to have Internet and VOIP(bridge to Thomson)

Thank you very much.

Replacing your Thompson router with a 3rd party is what you want first?

Have you got your internet up yet?
Get it up first then think of how to make the VoIP work.

First of all you can't access the fibre ONT yet so you can't plug in 2 Thompson and 3rd party as you like since you need to tag ports to their respective VLAN IDs on your Huawei set. Without accessing its web screen, you can't do anything.

So what you can do is replace the Thompson router where it plugs in with the new Asus you have.

On V# 0
VID: 621
Port 2: Tick It & Have it tagged
WAN Port have it ticked but DON'T tag it

Based on your screen you connect your BTU(Huawei)-> TPLink
Then out of the 4 ports of the TP-Link,
You connect your computer to Port1(VID=621) for internet and the Thompson to Port 2 for VoIP(VID=822)?

Looks very messy unless you plan to do away with the VoIP alltogether and the Huawei web screen can't be touch.
Or you can find a replacement for the Thompson router with built in VoIP sockets and 3 digits VLAN ID.

The guide on the first page already have the VLAN ID tagged for you by the Huawei BTU based on specific ports, so you just plug in the other routers like usual.

Replacing your Thompson router with a 3rd party is what you want first?

Have you got your internet up yet?
Get it up first then think of how to make the VoIP work.

First of all you can't access the fibre ONT yet so you can't plug in 2 Thompson and 3rd party as you like since you need to tag ports to their respective VLAN IDs on your Huawei set. Without accessing its web screen, you can't do anything.

So what you can do is replace the Thompson router where it plugs in with the new Asus you have.

On V#  0
VID: 621
Port 2: Tick It & Have it tagged
WAN Port have it ticked but DON'T tag it
Check Default
Bridge: Set WAN from the pull down. (To allow your VLAN#0 access to WAN for internet)

Save and Reboot. Check if you have port 2 connected to your computer.

Hi, thanks for the steps. I had tried your steps above and I'm getting error "Cannot proceed one and only one VID must be assigned to the primary LAN (br0).

What I did is:

1(VLAN), 1(VID) Yes(Port1), Yes(Port3), Yes(Port4), LAN(br0) - Bridge
2(VLAN), 621(VID), Yes(Port2), On(Tagged), Yes(WAN Port), *(Default), WAN - Bridge

Connection is Huawei ONT LAN2 is connected to Asus Router WAN port. The dialer is set to:
PPoE
22222@home.maxis.com.my
222221

Status is connecting.

Am I set the settings correctly?

Did you leave 0(VLAN) untouched or clear it?

Your LAN(br0) has multi VID assigned to it resulting in conflict.

Why do you want to set the Thompson as bridge?

If you can tag the VLAN ID to specific ports of the Huawei ONT, then you can plug in any devices you want thereafter using its ports.

Meaning BTU--> Devices

If you set the Thompson as bridge. Then Minimum you have to pass through 3 devices in all:
BTU-> Thompson(as VLAN switch) -> Devices

Try imitating jssc's VLAN settings although it's a little different.

Off = unticked
Untagged = ticked but not tagged
Tagged = ticked and tagged
CPU = I'm not sure but it's could be WAN for bridge or br0 ( this you need to play around )
I'm guessing the line with untagged ports 3,4,5 is CPU=LAN(br0) & tagged Port 1 CPU=WAN

Don't bother about the VLAN ID = 822 since it's associated with the VoIP?

Start from Line 1 = VLAN# 0

I using the TP-Link to connect internet..

Huawei -> TPlink - WAN

computer can using WIFI or connect to LAN2-4 for internet

TPlink - LAN1 -> thomson (VOIP)
since don't hv any voip device to support Maxis VOIP. so use thomson for VOIP. If can find any other Voip device can support also can connect to this port.

You are actually almost there if you are imitating jssc's screen.

1) Noticed line 2 where WAN Port is tagged? His setting is off which means unticked and not tagged.
Reboot if see if it's working

Else if still failing to connect.

2) We do not know what CPU means whether it's WAN or LAN1(br0). Try switching WAN for the first line and LAN1(br0) for VLAN ID 621 tagged Port 2 line.

If all still fails, there's something wrong elsewhere. You might want to reflash to another 3rd party firmware.

Other Tomato fimware users are eager to know too from your experience. Thanks.

This is my first time use openwrt. as what I understand, the CPU is mean Router.

the vlan ID 822. the LAN1 or Port2 is connect to any other VOIP device. I using thomson for VOIP.


I try not to do any change on huawei modem. to make it simple, in future any problem with the modem, just call maxis to change it. it can be any brand and model. as long as maxis still using VLAN ID 621 for data and 822 for VOIP
It should work on all modem.

Jssc,

Referring to page one default settings of the BTU and referring to your settings, it's like LAN 2 on the BTU by default is already binded and tagged.

Your port 2-4 functions as internet ports and in your screenshot they are all set to off for VLAN ID=621 except for CPU.
So in his case what does CPU mean? Either LAN(br0) or WAN?

thamch and jssc,

I'm reading a few web screens for Huawei BTU and seems to find conflicting port assignments for their rulings.Some use port 1 others use port 2 to hook up the router.

But here is the general guide to handle them if you come to find out the VLAN rules INSIDE the BTU.

user posted image

For the particular VLAN ID=621 rule inside your BTU:

1) Has ONLY Port Binding checked, then all you need is to hook a regular router without VLAN capabilities to that particular port to connect to the internet.

2) If both Port binding and VLAN Tagging is checked, then you need to hook up a device that CAN handle VLAN untagging just like your customized 3rd party firmware.

On that particular router(next device after the BTU) with the 3rd party firmware, you DO NOT tag or port bind on the ports you want to use for the INTERNET for the particular VLAN ID ruling.

So you need to find out which port your Thompson router is connected to for the Huawei ONT and by default, the port binding and VLAN tagging should be checked inside your BTU settings.

Yes that's why I suspect from your VLAN ruling in your TP-Link router, the Huawei modem settings for its LAN2 port which you connect your router to it has (port binding + vlan tagging) ticked inside its settings.

So in your TP-Link router, for the VLAN ID=621 ruling inside, you OFF them all from port 2-4 and they're the ones allowed to access the internet.

For your port1 which you use for VoIP, you re-tagged them with VLAN ID=822 again so it can be forwarded to the next device.

Hi, i'm not using Huawei modem, but using White colour Alcatel Lucent modem, currently plug in the Thomson router into LAN port #2 at Alcatel modem. So, if i want to replace thomson router for internet, what should do? Is it need to configure the Alcatel modem?

If you still need the Voip, you can try my setting using tplink wr1043 and flash to openwrt. U don't need to change anything setting on modem. Just connect the tplink to modem lan2, then Thomson connect to tplink lan1.

If I not mistaken, the setting I set can be use for all modem. But I'm only tester on Huawei modem and not yet test on other modem.

U need to get a router where can support.

For my setting,

U need to get tplink tl-wr1043. Flash it to openwrt, apply setting and u can refer to klseet. Cause my setting is base on him.

Then connect it to alcatel lan2, and ur Thomson is connect to tplink lan1.

Yes good router.

I do test on Huaweisymantec also very stable. But I only test on data not test on VoIP. But the device too expensive is cost more then thousand.

No yet working.  Still struggling with the VLAN configuration.  Need time to try all possible firmware.  Next will try Toastman firmware and hopefully it work.

thamch,

In your last settings (4th one from top) asking me,

Your VLAN #2 with VLAN ID 621,
Tick Port 1 and tagged it, Leave Port 2 to Port 4 & WAN UNCHECKED & UNTAGGED (Empty). Bridge=WAN

VLAN#1 VID 1,
Bridge=br0

PPPoE traffic should pass by now.

This is because jssc's settings for them are OFF.

After this you can use either Port 2-4 for internet connection.

now even worst, proceed to 1st step setting at network/switch ( vlan ID ) set it as VLAN ID 1 / 621 / 822. The whole process hanging there and "waiting for router" so long time.
What is going on actually??

I think u better reset your router. Follow klseet setting, ignore vlan 500,600 , iptv setting and just add vlan 621 only. If working only add vlan 822

Good news, Internet is working already. Now testing VoIP.
Here is the settings for Shibby's Tomato Firmware for Asus RT-N16.


Added on July 17, 2012, 12:37 amjssc,
Need some clarification from you.
Your Thomson router connections is it Thomson WAN port connect to your TP-Link Port1 or Port2?
Can you let me know which Thomson LED lights is on and what are the colour?

Thanks.

jssc,
Let me get this right.

Fiber <---> Huawei(black box) - LAN Port 2 <------> WAN Port-(TP Link)-LAN Port 1 <----> Thomson Router(Voice Only).

As for the Thomson Light, may I know the Internet light is Off or is Green or is Red?
Possible the snap a photo of your Thomson light while the phone is hooked?

During my setup, I assume your CPU is WAN port :-) and and work.

Later today going to try to setup the router again following your settings. Thanks.

Those who using Maxis FTTH with custom router, do you think of using VoIP adapter and totally throw away the thomson router?
adapter like this
http://www.voipsupply.com/grandstream-gs-286
http://www.voipsupply.com/m-ata
setup maybe like plugin this adapter to one of the port of custom router and setup vlan to the port and setup sip in the router? not sure if it works that way..

Anyone willing to try it out? I dont have Maxis FTTH so cant test it out..

the internet light is off.

if your using openwrt.. the CPU is not WAN port.
and if you settings up the vlan 822..you can't tag on CPU...

cause vlan 822 is for VOIP and not for internet


Added on July 17, 2012, 11:18 amone more thing to inform the VoIP1 and VoIP2 will light up once it able to register with maxis. whether phone is connect or not.

You are making progress here. You can use all ports 2-4 to connect to the internet since you have set thm to untag VLAN ID 621 packets.

Jssc uses port 1 to connect to his Thompson router for VoIP access.

Since the router supplied by Maxis is set to untag 822 by default, create another rule for 822 (VLAN #3)
Under this ruling(VLAN# 3, VLAN ID 822),
Tick(port bind) and tagged PORT 1 - Very important

Leave the rest untouched(empty)

Set bridge = WAN

Save and reboot.

Is your VoIP phone working before this at your Thompson? Have you activate it with Maxis request yet?

For the VLAN# 3 ruling it's correct to check and tagged PORT1 only leaving the rest empty.
Can the bridge be left empty instead of WAN/br0/br1...? jssc's settings if off for the CPU meaning empty.

There might be some difference here between jccs's settings for the voip. The VoIP VLAN ID could be different in your area meaning it might not be 822...

The other method is to reverse the process by untagging at your ASUS RT-N16 (create VLAN ID=822) but leave port 1 untouched.
Then log into your Thompson and remove the VLAN ID=822 rule inside it for its VLAN settings inside.

Meaning if you untag and unbind port in your Asus, you no longer need to untag it in your Thompson. Just leave the VoIP account setting inside for the phone ports to work.

Once I connect via my Asus router, the phone1 and 2 doesn't light up.
Any idea how to configure it in Thomson router? An guide?
How to export out those settings to check those vlans?
Another way to confirm is some one lend me the tp-link router with openwrt so I can test it with thomson router.

He's not using OpenWRT but the Tomato Shibby firmware instead.

There's one more DD-WRT instead.

All together got 3 major different variants.

Dear Sifus,

Just installed Maxis broadband on yesterday and after read all your post from page 1 till page 14. Decided and bought a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND device. Configured as per klseet.com using openwrt, but was unsuccessful at the end. cry.gif

Few questions to seek advices from all the sifu here:

1. Is the configuration correct? i just copy from sifu jssc. Can anyone correct me if wrong?

user posted image


2. When come to Network > Interfaces, do i have to add the IPTV as per klseet.com? or skip this step?

3. Is my username correct? i check on Thomson router, it shown 8xxxx@home.maxis.com.my blink.gif

Will try again tomorrow. Need to get to bed now.

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.

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 ...

Here is the settings for Shibby's Tomato Firmware for Asus RT-N16.


Added on July 17, 2012, 12:37 amjssc,
Need some clarification from you.
Your Thomson router connections is it Thomson WAN port connect to your TP-Link Port1 or Port2?
Can you let me know which Thomson LED lights is on and what are the colour?

Thanks.

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?

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 allAttached Image

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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...

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

Maxis came by today to do my installation. He said that my building belongs to high rise (30years old building low cost apartment). To install Maxis they need to use my streamyx port as Maxis does not provide standard installation like Unifi does. Is that true ?

http://www.azim.my/unifi just added new step (step 7a). The new step is for not-VLAN-tagging-capable routers like normal streamyx router. Step 7a) is more universal. Feel free to test it and comment the steps if it's not working.

Yes it will work. Just plug the Thomson LAN to Airport WAN. Then set your Airport to DHCP instead of PPPoE.

Linksys WRT54GC doesn't work with the Huawei BTU modem sad.gif
It says "login to PPPoE failed"

Which non-VLAN tagging wireless router can use with Huawei BTU ?

Step 3 is slightly incorrect, right ?
Step 2b should be REMOVE ptm.621 first, only proceed to add NEW ptm.621 as per Step 3

Guys, does your internet get disconnected randomly?
Mine does like no internet for few mins, then back to normal.
Check the Thomson router and all lights are green. Internet and LAN green blinking.
Wonder those using 3rd party router encountering same issue or not.

If that is the case then I need to logon into Thomson and turn off DHCP and change it's IP address sad.gif I can't seem to find the right command to change the IP address for Thomson router. I wonder why they give us all these troubles, sigh.

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:

user posted image
(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 biggrin.gif

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.

If follow what bro kurogane did, than need to add another microtik device in between the tm modem and our own router, it's troublesome loh.... hmm.gif
If wanna use the voip than need to plug in the thomsom router to microtik, later IPTV come than 1 more device....
total 5 device liao....once u saw those wire sure headache liao... rclxub.gif

if you go for openwrt you will lose warranty for you device blush.gif
flashing firmware has a risk of bricking your device and not really newbie friendly
i'm just giving a choice for people that does not want to have hassle of using custom firmware...
there is also Asus router that works with default firmware if you want to minus the device clutter.

TM is paranoid about user accessing their BTU especially the FTTH ones due to the security weaknesses involved in passive optical architecture setup.

The concern lies within the information exposure if a person manages to log into their BTU because the person could gather many things about its VLAN IDs for various services, bind them separately to get more bandwidth, share internet access accounts and even steal your VoIP accounts to make IDD/other network calls.

Now here's the suggestion.

Since they are so paranoid about letting users touch their BTU or temination unit which they claim it's their sole property for access, they why not untag everything at the BTU itself?

It already has 4 ethernet ports(all u need is 2 ports -1 for internet and the other for IPTV), with FXS phone ports.

From there on it's all up to the user to buy whatever router device they want to plug in with no restrictions or requirements to do VLAN untagging.

Why must VLAN untagging be done by the home gateway instead of the BTU?
The reason why the non official guide at page 1 aims to do this which is to untag the packets at a specific port so you can plug in any of your routers to it.

Erichhl,
My friend tried with his MicroTik(+Wifi) to Internet. No problem. But VoIP not working. The setup is BTU<-->MicroTik+Wifi(Internet), LAN Port<-->Thomsom Router(WAN)<-->Phone1, no dialtone at all.
Do you have a guide on how to setup the MicroTik to have VoIP via Thomson router?

Hello all...

I have to admit i am not good with all this, but can anyone advise or guide me how to connect to maxis using my syslink router?

I saw TS's guide which is very in detail.. however my Huawei is HG850a. Thus, can i still follow TS's guide start from beginning?

Really appreciate if anyone out there can advise and help out? The current router is doing badly especially at my living room (downstairs).. maxis fibre was installed in my room (upstairs).. its a double-storey..

If you want easy, plug your syslink router WAN port to the Thomson LAN port.
Then set your Syslink router to DHCP instead of PPPoE.

you cannot follow thread starters way..There's no way for end user to access HG850a it was block with firewall
1.you dont have access to the modem like TS. So no you dont have an easy way
2.you can plug your linksys router to thomson router, but not doing pppoe just as a router. Thomson router will do the pppoe dialling.
3.If you linksys router capable of doing vlan tagging then there's a way for it to dial up the connection

hmm, since we are not able to connect our router to the ONT directly, means the only way left is to connect it to the Thomson instead and set the WAN connection type to DHCP. The clients will then connect only to the custom router and routing/connection will be all handled in the custom router and forward only WAN packet to Thomson. I'm wondering whether we still benefit from better processing power in custom router by using this method hmm.gif Any thought?

the only benefit is u get better wifi experience than using the wifi from the thomson router. Remember if you are doing this method please off the wifi function on the thomson router, just let your custom router to handle all the wifi function.
and i believe by doing this the thomson router will be litter bit more stable because less workload less heat.

that's not really accurate actually....a router may behave differently towards a traceroute and normal ping.

If you compare a normal ping to 192.168.1.254 and the results of a traceroute's first hop, you'll notice the difference. Do it over wired LAN of course

Traceroute's are blocked in some network (I think streamyx does that). Maybe Maxis might end up doing that some day.

my point is that the router have bad latency... not only trace route
ping is also higher than mine

There's a hidden step not written in the post #1
You have to "remove" ptm1.621 first.
Then you add again as per screenshot.

Guys, I'm trying to push TM to see if their allow their technicians to set up their BTU similar to what is displayed on page 1 to help those who wants their internet port on the BTU to connect your favourite routers to it upon request.

That is your choice if you want of leave it if you want things as it is.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2444049

If they insists of moving the ports let them get it set at port 1 but make sure that port binding is SET but tagging is NOT CHECKED.

I'm sure during the first time they caome and install those who wants this can ask for permission for it to be done?

hi bro, i got a question if the technician really do willing to do the setting for us...
according to the post on 1st page, custom router connect to BTU LAN port 3 for internet access, BTU LAN port 2 connect thomson router for VOIP,
then if later we have maxis IPTV already which port should we connect to? and do we need to call tm technician to come reconfigure if later we want install maxis IPTV?
thanks!

Instead of using our LAN cable to connect and configure the modem, there's an adapter which is used instead. At least that's what I've seen when they configured it at my house.

Does anyone know the Fiberhome GUI login page address, ID and password?

Interesting topic!

Just wondering, without touching the modem & re-use the Thompson, has anyone managed to setup all the 3 vlans on a router and attach it with a ATA device for normal phone?

I'm just wondering whether if it's possible to do something like this concept (as per diagram at the bottom page):
http://klseet.com/index.php/tp-link/tp-lin...wr741nd-v1-a-v2

Will it work?

Din notice this router when i visit you site...
at the moment most of the user here is using TL-WR1043ND with openwrt which was able to maintain the voip function through directing vlan822 to a new port and connect it to thomson router.

I found out that there is a limitation on Tomato firmware where you can't tag the WAN PPPoE dialer to VLAN 621.

That's the Alcatel-Lucent I-240G-P BTU. That is maintained by TM. It's not a router, you can't really replace it, it's locked down by TM. You can only replace (or attempt to replace) the Thomson router provided by Maxis.

I have the exact same BTU model in my current Maxis fibre and my previous Unifi.

there's a way that you don't need to touch the Modem(BTU)
you just need a router that is capable to do Vlan tagging(like TP-Link TL-WR1043ND)

But you need to keep in mind that you will lose VOIP and future IPTV features if you decide to use your own custom router.

Why is it so?

Your VoIP and IPTV VLAN settings are still LEFT untouched inside your BTU. All you have to do in future is just swap back your Thompson to have the service reenabled.

Better still if you can convince the TM technician can configure the BTU to strip the VLANs on one of the other 3 ports. Leave port 1 as it is.
Just enable port binding on either port 2-4 (whichever you want) and untick VLAN tagging. Leave LAN port 1 as it is.

I'm sure many of those who subscribed the RM118 package earlier won't be bothered about the the IPTV and calls. It's very high posibility the pay TV charges will be incurred extra.

So yeah, just leave port 1 as it is and make the BTU unstrip the VLAN on the other ports for the use of your 3rd party router.
Any service you want to continue using in future should you change your mind, just plug your Thompson into port 1. The TM technician will have to make another visit to your home anyway if there's any changes.

Greetings!

Just got my maxis fibre line installed today, TM technicians setup the modem, while Maxis techs configured the router, did a speedtest, and took the bloody router away. Apparently some directive from the top requires them to send all remaining routers back to HQ. You won't imagine the amount of crap-spinning i got from customer service, about the router being out of stock la, only left demo unit la bla bla bla, when the tech told me it was a brand new unit.

Anyway, was told that i can only get the router after the 25th, which is a good 2 weeks from now! How'ma gonna pass my Raya hols yo!

So now i'm staring at the HG850A modem with an active link, just no router to dial it. Any quick solutions, like direct dialing from a PC or can i use my DIR-300(flashed with DD-WRT) to dial the connection?

PS: Even temporary solutions are fine as long as i can use it till the router arrives?

Jumped the gun and bought a TP-Link 1043ND.

After countless hours, I still havent managed to setup my connection.

Here are the steps i did:
1. Flash router to OpenWRT
2. Connect port 2 of HG850A -> TPLink WAN
3. Add VLan tag 621
4. Edit Wan interface to PPPOE, change physical settings to VLAN Interface: "eth0.621" (wan)

I notice that WAN doesn't light up when its connected to the HG850A. Under interfaces the WAN interface also appears greyed out. I am at a loss~!

Edit: After losing much hair, finally solved the problem by tagging and connecting vlan to eth port 1 instead of WAN port.

VOIP with maxis is no longer from the BTU but from the router provided by maxis. IPTV would be still possible I guess, as we know it's VLAN tagged at 82x.

Secondly, I don't think the technician would be able to do that or don't think they'd know how. I've seen them configuring the BTU, they just connect it via the proprietary adapter to the console and run a script. This is true for the Fiberhome BTU, the Huawei ones are configurable via LAN port.

If you can get online with the custom router, that means maxis already started your billing cycle without even providing you the thomson router ?

okey, Now I can connect to the modem and fiddle around with it. But still no success.

The Modem is the ZTE ZXDSL 931 series, where I can't find the ptm1.621 connection on it as mentioned on the first page guide. Any idea??

Is it because of my old router that does not support some protocol or method necessary to make this connection? I'm currently trying with an old Belkin Wireless G router

i'm not really sure but that method should work for maxis fiber also
just a bit modification & you need to do some trial and error
the chance of you using your own router is higher because u can actually access the btu

Folks,
Finally got my Mikrotik router (RB751G) to be my main router connected TM's fibre modem and Thomson relegated for only VOIP connection/phone (Passthrough via Mikrotik).

On the Mikrotik, can also configured Netwach to detect Maxis internet disconnections and to reestablish PPPOE connection immediately.

Will try to document the instructions and share when I have a bit more time smile.gif

Hi Guys,

My situation with Maxis fiber is as follows:

They came to install the fiber for me yesterday. Installation was completed and line tested. However, they gave me everything, the fiber line, modem (not Huawei) BUT not the router and phones. This is because they ran out of stock for the Thomson routers and could only supply the new customers (me included) the Thomson router after Raya.

So, in the evening, I decided to go buy myself a router with VLAN capabilities. I settled for TP-LINK WR841ND (as I see that Peacelover had place a guide for us to configure the network to allow internet connection without using the thomson router).

As the modem is not huawei and I could not link my notebook the the modem, I decide not to touch the modem but work around the situation.

This is what I did:

1. set up the TL-WR841ND, connect a lan cable from its Wan port to port 2 of the modem (this is due to the binding peacelover mentioned above, i stuck with port 2 of the modem).

2. linked port 2 of the TL-WR841ND (let's call this the TL router from now on) to my notebook.

3. Login to the TL router, set its IP as (192.168.1.254)

4. Under WAN settings, I followed peacelover's advise. i.e. choose PPPoE/Russioan PPPoE; inserted the maxis login id (XXX@home.maxis.com.my); entered the password (XXX1) and attemp to connect to the internet... waiting happily for the connection.

5. however, connection failed.. Checking on the system log in the TL router, I noticed packeages being sent to the modem but modem failed to response (the error was - 'timeout waiting for PADO packets').

What I noticed about the modem is that the power light and the PON light is permanently on (no blinking). However, the port 2 lan light is blinking (indication of package movement).

As for the TL router, the internet light and the Port 2 lan light was blinking whilst the power light was permanently on..

With that said, can a network guru/sifu advise me where I went wrong here?.. or did Maxis deactivate my connection after the complete installation due to them not being able to furnish me with the Thomson Modem? Are there any abnormality on the behavior of the modem and TL-router?..

Do hope to read some advise here soon as I would love be be connected to the net via Maxis Fiber before Raya..

Thank you in advance, guru's/sifu's..

What I noticed about the modem is that the power light and the PON light is permanently on (no blinking). However, the port 2 lan light is blinking (indication of package movement).

As for the TL router, the internet light and the Port 2 lan light was blinking whilst the power light was permanently on..

With that said, can a network guru/sifu advise me where I went wrong here?.. or did Maxis deactivate my connection after the complete installation due to them not being able to furnish me with the Thomson Modem? Are there any abnormality on the behavior of the modem and TL-router?..

Do hope to read some advise here soon as I would love be be connected to the net via Maxis Fiber before Raya..

Thank you in advance, guru's/sifu's..

Added on August 13, 2012, 9:55 amPeacelover, how did you configure your TP-Link router to talk to your Maxis modem?.. I am still unable to establish the connection.. From the error log, it seems I kept hitting 'timeout on PADO'.. Seems like the modem is refusing to reply to my TP-Link router..

Sayboon has suggested that i do a VLAN621 tagging. How do I go about doing such tagging on myTP-Link router, pls? or is the tagging done on the modem end?.. 0.o

not using the same router as you but you can try flash openwrt at your own risk
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1-rc4/ar71xx/
find your router here... flash the openwrt firmware
and follow this guide and do some changes...
http://klseet.com/index.php/tl-wr941nd-ver...-unifi-on-trunk
on the vlan set 621...
it's all on your own good luck smile.gif

Yeap, I would recommend the TP-Link WR1043ND. Works for me.

On how to tag the VLAN 621, let me further add to klseet's tutorial. Focus on the part where he tags VLAN500 and ignore the VLAN600, as that's for the IPTV. Just change the value for 500 to 621 and you should be good to go.

Wow!! thanx sifu's finally I got a direction to follow.. Seems like we have to crack into the router setting and make some drastic modifications.. From the looks of it (the process flow), I think my TL-WR841ND could be rewired so.

On, my next few questions:

I noticed there are 4 files on WR841ND in the openwrt site:

openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr841nd-v3-squashfs-factory.bin 20-Nov-2010 04:30 3932160
openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr841nd-v3-squashfs-sysupgrad..> 20-Nov-2010 04:30 3670016
openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr841nd-v5-squashfs-factory.bin 20-Nov-2010 04:30 3932160
openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr841nd-v5-squashfs-sysupgrad..> 20-Nov-2010 04:30 3547140

my TL-WR841ND is on V7.2. So, which of the files above i should be downloading to flash my TL-WR841ND router?.. 0.o

Also, the VLAN tagging, I should you 621 instead of the 600 or 500 as per example, right?

Either version is fine but make sure you flash using the factory FW first then once you're on openwrt already then you upgrade with the sysupgrade FW. So you need to download two FW of that version you going to use. I would recommend these two:

openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr841nd-v5-squashfs-factory.bin 20-Nov-2010 04:30 3932160
openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr841nd-v5-squashfs-sysupgrad..> 20-Nov-2010 04:30 3547140

Yes, maxis uses VLAN 621. 500 and 600 are UniFi's for data and IPTV respectively.

Use OpenWRT, it has better VLAN tagging capability than tomato or DDWRT.

I changed to my old TP-link1043 and connection are more stable comparing Maxis given Thomson router. Wifi definitely stronger too and installed QoS to the 1043 for better n smooth browsing/torrent/streaming activities.

So far still facing session hang and need to manually disconnect/reconnect too but not as often as when using Thomson router. I called Maxis and demand for a technician call back today, they confirmed the Thomson is giving a lots trouble (We all know cool2.gif ) and they are aware of the recent high ping issue and they are working on it, they promised me within a week the ping issue will be resolve. (As they said need to liaise with TM too, I understand caused Maxis backbone and traffic rely on TM's 1 so i agreed for 1 week let them to resolve the issue)

So for ppl using Maxis FTTH, i would suggest you to change the router if you have the capability to flash/setup/KNOW WHAT YOU R DOING (On your own risk), Thomson router only serves as a oversize phone adapter right now doh.gif

Hi Sayboon,
I am a bit confuse here. In this article, http://stanleytiang.blogspot.com/2011/08/u...using-your.html, it says change the vlan tagging in the modem but now, it's like changing the vlan tagging in router. Can you help to clarify?

Stanley's guide was for those modem on the Huawei Echolife which allows the user to connect via LAN port to perform the relevant configuration. That would be useful if you want IPTV on UniFi.

However, for maxis, you don't need to configure the modem because everything is controlled via the router. TM will run a script on the modem when you install maxis' FTTH which will open LAN 2 for you to connect the maxis router. The Unifi uses LAN 1.

Is the following true ?
The Huawei HG665a has VLAN tagged for 621 for Internet (Maxis Home Fibre) on Port #2. Thus we need a wireless router which is able to connect via a VLAN, right ?

Get Mikrotik RB751G-2HnD or RB751U-2HnD and thats stock firmware out-of-the-box working with configuration applied. No free lunch.

I haven't try Mikrotik with Maxis but RB751U-2HnD works for my UniFi. icon_idea.gif brows.gif

I guess you need to do some hacking/configuration to get the phone feature work in your Thomson. hmm.gif hmm.gif

These Mikrotik ain't cheap.... Read from klseet's website that TP-Link's W8960N is able to handle UniFi. I wonder if it works for Maxis Home Fibre (50% cheaper than Mikrotik)

ok.. the past few days had been nighmarish for me.. lol..

i managed to flash my tl-wr851nd to openwry version 7.. however, that version does not come with the gui installed.. (my router wont allow version 5 to be installed @_@)

anyway, i followed klseet guide in installing luci.. but failed miserably.. this is my hurdle now.. i believe if i can get luci installed into the router, other steps should be straight forward..

ok.. this is my prob on luci installation..

to install luci, i need an internet connection.. according to klseet, by just plug in a cat1 cable to the router's wan port (that i had just flashed) to a lan port for another router that has internet connection would give me the internet connection i need.. well, i tried and it failed... i.e i used a cat1 lan cable which my nb has internet connection to and plugged it in to the wr8541nd's wan port and could not ping the outside world.. i check the network configuration for the router and noted that its ip was 192.168.1.1 (gateway and dns as well).. the internet connection's gate way and dns for the other router (which has internet connection) was 192.168.0.1.

so, i tried changing the network file for the router by changing the router's ip address to 192.168.0.111 and the gateway and dns to 192.168.0.1 (this was done in the network file in /etc/config) but still could not connect to the internet @_@

i read more and noticed that i could also connect to the internet by mobilephone dataplan.. upon further reading, i need to install the usb device into the router which inturn means i need an internet connection to the router ont he 1st place.. @_@

anyone can advise me where i went wrong with the 1st setup, pls?.. if the other router (with internet connection) has its ip as 192.168.0.1 and its gateway and dns the same, what should i do with the wr841nd to get it to connect to the internet via that router?.. what is the configuration i need to do in the router?..

do hope someone could guide me (a network noob) here.. LoL..

looking forward to some guidance.. thanx smile.gif

Hhmm. Guys. I'd like to confirm 1 thing on this.

1) Maxis uses 2 diff Vlan ID for HSI
Those using TM Modem (Vlan Tag is 621)
Those using Modem provided by Maxis (Vlan Tag is 11) [The following setting is based on this]


Please refer to Attachment. This is a Thomson Config file i've downloaded for backup.
Attached Image

Also I'd like to share my experience using TPLink 1043ND router with Huawei Echolife HG8240 & Thomson (mainly for VoIP)

All Vlan Tagging are done on the TPlink router hence there is no need to configure the Echolife HG8240. *I'd like to point out that not everyone is done in this manner, hence please check before following the guide.

This is how my wiring setup
Attached Image


This is how i've configure the Switch & Vlan Tagging Setting (Under Network --> Switch)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


for those that have done this Reverting back to old Bootloader as this fix the WAN port issue. You can use ur WAN port instead of port 4 then the VLan ID tagging should be as follows.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


then save & apply

This is the WAN Setting (Under Network -- > Interface --> WAN)
Attached Image
Change the setting to VLAN Interface eth0.11

then save & apply

Then under General Setup (Under Network -- > Interface --> WAN)
Change protocol to PPPOE
enter username xxxxx@home.maxis.com.my or xxxxx@public.maxis.com.my
password is usually the xxxxx1 (where xxxxx represents the 5 digit before @home.maxis)

Save & apply..


You are done smile.gif


Edited.

To get the WAN port to work.. you can follow this guide smile.gif

Hhmm. Guys. I'd like to confirm 1 thing on this.

1) Maxis uses 2 diff Vlan ID for HSI
      Those using TM Modem (Vlan Tag is 621)
      Those using Modem provided by Maxis (Vlan Tag is 11) [The following setting is based on this]
Please refer to Attachment. This is a Thomson Config file i've downloaded for backup.
Attached Image

Also I'd like to share my experience using TPLink 1043ND router with Huawei Echolife HG8240 & Thomson (mainly for VoIP)

All Vlan Tagging are done on the TPlink router hence there is no need to configure the Echolife HG8240. *I'd like to point out that not everyone is done in this manner, hence please check before following the guide.

This is how my wiring setup
Attached Image
This is how i've configure the Switch & Vlan Tagging Setting (Under Network --> Switch)
Attached Image
I also like to highlight that Port 1 in the image is WAN port, Port 2 is Eth 1 ... Port 5 is Eth 4
For my case i used Eth 4 hence is port 5. Take note on the Vlan ID 1 under Port 5 change it to off. Add Vlan ID 11 and change Port 5 to "Tagged" & CPU to "Tagged"

then save & apply

This is the WAN Setting (Under Network -- > Interface --> WAN)
Attached Image
Change the setting to VLAN Interface eth0.11

then save & apply

Then under General Setup  (Under Network -- > Interface --> WAN)
Change protocol to PPPOE
enter username xxxxx@home.maxis.com.my or xxxxx@public.maxis.com.my
password is usually the xxxxx1 (where xxxxx represents the 5 digit before @home.maxis)

Save & apply..
You are done smile.gif

Bro,
Thanks for sharing your detailed explanation. This is really helpful. By the way, why you want to connect your modem to the router port 5 instead of port 1 which is the WAN port?

Bro,

Can you share how you configure the VOIP passthrough? I'm interested to get this router but am unsure how to setup the VOIP. Thanks.

QUOTE(88sales88 @ Aug 9 2012, 09:07 PM)
Folks,
Finally got my Mikrotik router (RB751G) to be my main router connected TM's fibre modem and Thomson relegated for only VOIP connection/phone (Passthrough via Mikrotik).

On the Mikrotik, can also configured Netwach to detect Maxis internet disconnections and to reestablish PPPOE connection immediately.

Will try to document the instructions and share when I have a bit more time smile.gif

This is because the new bootloader which TP-Link 1043ND builtin for Hardware Version 1.8 (some) & 1.9 which disable the WAN port, due to a bug. However you can still use the WAN port for other brand or model provided the other brand don't use the similar method

Actually regardless whether it's 1.8 or 1.9, you can still use it. Living proof here. Will post up a tutorial with sreenshots and files when I get the time. Hopefully this weekend.

I'm very interested if you manage to get the 1043ND WAN port working for OpenWRT, and how wink.gif
Unless your method is downgrading to older stock firmware with older bootloader, that is very risky as I've read somewhere that you cannot flash OpenWRT straight to stock firmware with bootloader in it, will permanently brick it.

Found it,

QUOTE
Back to original firmware
→ generic.uninstall

Warning!
This section describes actions that might damage your device or firmware. Proceed with care! 


With the WR1043ND router, there is a catch: the stock firmware is obtained from the OEM: http://www.tplink.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-WR1043ND

•in case the file name of this firmware file does not contain the word "boot" in it, you can simply revert back to original firmware
•in case the file name of this firmware file does contain the word "boot" in it, you need to cut off parts of the image file before flashing it:
An example of an image file with the word "boot" in it is wr1043nv1_en_3_9_17_up_boot(091118).bin.

Cut the first 0x20200 (that is 131,584 = 257*512) Bytes from original firmware:

dd if=orig.bin of=tplink.bin skip=257 bs=512

This has been confirmed by supertom64

To all Gurus,

My Maxis setup came with the Huawei HG850a and I am trying to get it to work with a TP-LINK WDR4300 ( Factory stock firmware ). From what I can gather from the postings thus far is, logging in to the modem and making the necessary changes are next to impossible.

My question is couldn't I just get a Huawei Echolife HG655a VDSL Modem to replace the Huawei HG850a to get it working?

Any help is definitely appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

1) you need to figure out the Admin login for the Thomson router.

Username : Administrator (*take note it is case sensitive. make sure it is capital A)
Password : <access key> at the back of your router label.

2) Then login using the Administrator account
3) On the Thomson Gateway menu, click Configuration.
4) In the Pick a task list, click Save or Restore Configuration.
5) Under Backup current configuration, click Backup Configuration Now.
6) The Thomson Gateway prompts you to save your backup file.
7) Save your file to a location of your choice.
8) use text editor to open the file.

U know the SIP server address? And I guess you need to be in the correct VLAN.

I see in Thomson, there is a DHCP IP range for 192.168.10/0/24 defined for VoIP.

Please correct if I am wrong.

Why did the "sharing is caring" stop once we knew how to use another device to use VoIP? Is this information now available to the elitists only? ;-)

Excellent!!

Any solution for landed properties?


Added on August 31, 2012, 12:39 pmI've been on the RM88 4mb Streamx Unipack plan.
Now the 24 month contract is ending.
I heard that we can continue with it.

Should I continue with the RM88 4mb Streamyx?
Or go on and install my RM118 10mb Maxis plan?

I'm really satisfied with this 4mb.
It's more than enough for me as I only use internet for work.
I hardly download and dont play games at all.
It's really stable. Never give me any headache.

Then when I look over at this Maxis thread, there seems to be a lot of problems with the router.
I need stability. That's the most important.

Don't know what to do.
Maxis installer will come in mid September.
I dont need IPTV.
I still can cancel it but Im still on the fence.
Is it worth it to pay RM30 extra for a 6mb more speed?
But then get a potential headache..

And does the modem/router need to be next to the TV?
Or can we put the modem/router wherever we want to like streamyx modem?

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get my TP-Link 1043ND to split the incoming Huawei signal for PPPOE and VOIP.  I'm not sure if my idea will work so I would welcome any suggestions.

Huawei -> TP-Link -> Thomson

I'm running openwrt, and have tried to configure the VLAN on TP-Link to redirect the Huawei connection.  So far, I've managed to get the TP-Link to work and obtain a PPPOE connection.  This means the network devices in my house are now able to use the FTTH via the Tp-Link (bypassing the Thomson).

The problem I'm getting is that I can't seem to get the TP-Link to pass the 821/822 VLAN over to the Thomson.  The Thomson doesn't seem to get a VOIP SIP link up.  Looking at the event logs, it seems that the management port is up.

I have this in my /etc/config/network file (a truncated output):

config 'switch_vlan'
        option 'device' 'rtl8366rb'
        option 'vlan' '1'
        option 'ports' '3 4 5t'

config 'switch_vlan'
        option 'device' 'rtl8366rb'
        option 'vlan' '621'
        option 'ports' '0t 1t 5t'

config 'switch_vlan'
        option 'device' 'rtl8366rb'
        option 'vlan' '821'
        option 'ports' '1t 2t'

config 'switch_vlan'
        option 'device' 'rtl8366rb'
        option 'vlan' '822'
        option 'ports' '1t 2t'

Note that my TP-Link's WAN port is busted so I'm using the switch ports for the incoming routing.  I have the Huawei plugged into port 1, and the Thomson plugged into port 2.  (Port 0 is the WAN port that is busted).  Anyone have ideas on what else needs to be changed?  Thanks in advance

finally, i finish the TP_Link TL-WR1043 to support the thompson as voip.. now still testing.. so far so good and the WR1043 also can get online by itself

So just want to update you all that another confirmed TP link TLWR1043 user here who has gotten it working with openwrt rclxm9.gif

For the longest time i was stuck trying to figure out what was wrong with my openwrt config. But thanks to jssc who confirmed that it can work, I persevered. notworthy.gif

The issue in my case was somehow the Telephony configuration in the Thomson was messed up. I ended up deleting it and adding it back again and it now works. Previously, the "Registered" field showed an X.

Just FYI, settings for Telephony on Thomson is:
SIP URI: <your Maxis VOIP number, e.g 03xxxxxxx>
username: <your Maxis VOIP number, e.g 03xxxxxxx>
password: <your Maxis VOIP number, e.g 03xxxxxxx1> (notice the extra 1 digit)

To get your WAN working you need to do the following.. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2481658 however I would advise to read and understand it before actually doing it coz if done wrongly it will brick ur router.

Thanks for your info. Maybe I didn't make it clear, but I managed to get it working smile.gif That was after a long period of troubleshooting rclxub.gif

I originally thought that there was something wrong with the VLAN settings that i had on the TP-Link WR1043 (openwrt). Turns out the settings were fine. It was the VOIP settings in the Thomson router. So this is just to let you all know, in case your VOIP doesn't work on the 821 VLAN, that maybe it is due to some glitch on the Thomson router. I discovered this when I accidentally 'flush'-ed the VOIP profile from the Thomson router after logging into the telnet terminal. After I created a new one from scratch, the VOIP started working properly.

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

hi bro. i was looking at your post about your custom router configuration for maxis and if i understand correctly, you managed to get the VOIP phone working by connecting your thomson router to your custom router.

can you please let me know if my understanding is correct? can you please share how this is done? what sort of configuration do i need to make in thomson router? thanks bro.


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.

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
