I bought an HG8240H from shopee and want to replace my old HG8240w.
First I don't know what I should be configuring in the new modem. @trix says to go here for the configuration https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry91845910 but it doesn't lead me to any instructions.
Next I think I have to change the modem mac address?? like this guy said https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4826324

I afraid I change and then suddenly no internet because I didnt properly configure the brand new HG8240H modem correctly. At least want internet to work with this modem before I ask to change the mac address.

Just Changed out my modem, actually I don’t really notice any benefits so far but all I need is to get the authentication password to connect only, you’ll need to access the existing modem to do so and I believe that the password varies by area

using maxis ffth infra btw

So that means I don't have to change the Mac address right?
I just have to somehow get the authentication from old modem and then put it in the new modem?

Do you have instructions (for putting the authentication in the new modem)? if not thank you at least for letting me know about the mac address issue

For my case I just key in the authentication password, I heard that it varies by area though

For most area, maxis service is served via TM unifi infra which maybe different from mine

I just tried I don't think it's working sad.gif
What's the authentication I'm suppose to be finding? The ONT authentication? TR069 parameters?

ONT authentication, mine is from old Huawei modem to new Huawei modem and using maxis FFTH infra not TM infra

Didn’t bother with TR069, I believe that’s for maxis/TM to remote into the modem

Maybe here would help

I was hoping the TM infra wouldn't be different.
Good news is the ONT Authentication worked... for like 5 seconds I had internet, then it didn't work anymore (I assume they blocked the new modem mac address). I have to call up TM to bind the new modem MAC address.

I don't really feel like calling just to change my modem because you said there's really no difference.

Thanks for answering my questions smile.gif
