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.

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.

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.

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
