This guide is for the huawei VDSL modem but how to setup a custom router if my setup is using TM white Alcatel-Lucent BTU? Hope some sifu can shed some lights.

@pisanq
Thanks for the reply. Let say I want to put

A-L BTU -> Custom router (Internet & Wifi) and use back thomson for voip, what do I need to do since I can't access the A-L BTU to change the VLAN and port binding in step 4 from 1st page?

And can I reuse back my TPlink router which was previously configured to Unifi?

first i don't have enough time to try this setup yet but i believe it will work

for internet:
u don't need to change anything inside A-L BTU, just connect the BTU to your new router. tag your new router ppoe port as vlan 621 so that u can dial up to maxis ftth. connect your new router wan port to AL-BTU.

for voip:
set a lan port as untagged and connect your thomson wan port to this lan port. let the phone connect to your thomson like default maxis ftth setup

i will requote this post later after i finish doing it for my home. hope it helps

Those who still using Thompson router but want to change the DNS, can backup a copy of the setting [user.ini] open with notepad and find
CODE

pool config name=LAN_private state=enabled allocation=dynamic intf=LocalNetwork poolstart=192.168.1.64 poolend=192.168.1.253 netmask=24 gateway=192.168.1.254 server=192.168.1.254 leasetime=86400 lockouttime=180


change to
CODE

pool config name=LAN_private state=enabled allocation=dynamic intf=LocalNetwork poolstart=192.168.1.64 poolend=192.168.1.253 netmask=24 gateway=192.168.1.254 server=192.168.1.254 primdns=8.8.8.8 secdns=8.8.4.4 leasetime=86400 lockouttime=180 localdns=disabled


save it and restore back to the router..
in this way the comp will auto get 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS through DHCP..

Tested and it's not working on Thomson V3

But when I save back the user.ini in the router, the dns was gone and back to normal user.ini.

yup. Once I restore the user.ini to router, the router reboots and then i redownload back the user.ini.

Did I did something wrong?

How I did it

1. go to 192.168.1.254
2. Technicolor gateway -> Configuration -> Backup current configuration
3. Save user.ini to desktop
4. Edit user.ini using notepad with the new string
5. Save user.ini
6. Technicolor gateway -> Configuration -> Restore configuration now with the new user.ini
7. Router rebooted and redownload back the user.ini to check if the new config sticks but no it did not.

I've done all this using Wifi

Aaaaa now I know why it was not working. I left out the "localdns=disabled" part at the back. Now ok already

Thanks ywkwy

We can't connect to Alcatel Lucent BTU because we don't have access to it like the Huawei BTU
