Will this method from TS work with those using Astro IPTV?

Mine was installed earlier today and using same Technicolor TG784n v3 router. So far, I disabled the WiFi and opt to use my Apple Airport Express as the AP.

Behind the Technicolor TG784n v3 router, Astro using Port 1 and 4. Airport Express using Port 2 and Switch using Port 3. According to the installer, Astro can use any port behind the Technicolor TG784n v3 router. I tested and found this to be true.

Now, here's my problem... I have an Asus RT-N66U previously using Unifi. Will it work? I need to keep the phone services as well. According to Asus config, it states LAN3 as VoIP and LAN4 as IPTV. Huh????

Here's one method that is sure-fire.

1. Set up Maxis router as per usual, and then DISABLE wireless.

2. Set up any other router as per usual (you want the router to act as if it was connected to a device that served direct access to the Internet, which the Maxis router is doing. ASUS routers call this setting "Automatic IP". You must not attempt to connect via PPPoE or any other method that requires username/password).

3. Set the Maxis router to DMZ your custom router.

That's it. Remember to reboot your custom router once every 48 hours or so.

Somebody's said that if you turned your Maxis router into a bridge and used the (ASUS, in this case) custom router to log in via PPPoE, you can even put the ASTRO on the custom router, and you don't have to reboot the router every 48 hours. I haven't tried that; maybe I will one of these days and see what happens.

I'm using the Asus for routing on Astro IPTV. Never need to reboot. Very stable for months now. The Thompson used for VoIP only.

Works fine.

BTU -> Technicolor (or Thompson) -> Asus RT-N66U -> switches for other network devices

1. Set up Maxis router as per usual, and then DISABLE wireless.
2. Set the Maxis router to DMZ your custom router on Port 2.
3. Connect Port 2 on Technicolor / Thompson to Asus WAN port.
4. Set-up the Asus first. Under Asus -> LAN -> IPTV, ensure the following is correct:

Select ISP Profile = None
Choose IPTV STB Port = Port 1 & 2
Use DHCP routes = Microsoft
Enable multicast routing (IGMP Proxy) = Enabled
Enable efficient multicast forwarding (IGMP Snooping) = Enabled
UDP Proxy(Udpxy) = 0

5. Set up the Asus to dial a PPPoE connection -> supply username and password.
6. Connect decoder LAN cables to Asus Port 1 and 2.
7. Connect switch (if any) to Asus Port 3.

That's it.

Thanks. I have Astro IPTV, no VOIP. I've tried to go BTU -->AC66U with the Asus firmware but I couldn't get the IPTV working  I'm wondering if anyone out there has successfully done this?

I guess there's something inside the Technicolor router that the decoder looking for.
