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.


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



This is how i've configure the Switch & Vlan Tagging Setting (Under Network --> Switch)


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.



then save & apply

This is the WAN Setting (Under Network -- > Interface --> WAN)

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


Edited.

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

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

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd read the paragraph with (!)
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/11898

wiind, no prob , glad to share my experience.

Some of these settings are also done with the help from Tanghm, as I've bounce couple of ideas with him and he helped me in a few areas.

Yup ... is totally find if you found other routers which support Vlan tagging by default, then you don't need to use custom firmware.

Added on August 24, 2012, 9:51 am1) 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.

software i used is media5-fone

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.

I was referring to this post where you say the wan port not working

Just buy a wifi extender (tplink or asus). currently only asus can configure without custom firmware. But u'll need to know the vlan id. But u'll lose the VoIP doing so.

I would recommend using the same router but buy a wireless extender

Added on September 8, 2012, 4:51 pmThere is no need to access ur modem.. All username n password are in the router..

U'll should be able to backup the configuration file n open it as it is just text.

The backup option is located somewhere in your router.. Check all the settings

Don't think there is enough space for it

Option 1

Most routers (asus, tplink, dlink) now support..
