3)Speedtest was not stable sometime i get 10MB up/dl , sometime i get 3MB up/1mb dp..

i asked those sales people on Asus Route but they said it wasn't possible to configure for Maxis FTTH ???

Shall we need to use Vlan capable router even if we dont want to use VOIP ??? Normal stremynx modem shall work ?

For me, i using to Tp-link tl-wr1043 as router with vlan support and also wifi

Thomson for VoIP and connect to tplink router

jssc , shall i upgrade my stock firmware for tplwr1043 to dd-wrt first ??

My model was from ALU-> Thomson ->

If i get a TPlink , i believe the configure shall be ALU -> TPLINk -> WIFI/Internet
-> Thomson -> VOIP

if i need to flash dd-wrt , can i follow http://klseet.com/index.php/tl-wr1043nd-ver18 ?

To configure tl1043 for Internet and VoIP support, can refer to my setting (refer to page11). I do hv some guide and photo on it

hI Jssc

I bought the wrong routerfrom 1043 to 941ND...sad.gif . I flash openwrt but i can't find the "switch" feature at network tab.. (this is wat i realize i doing something wrong already...)

But without using the trank firmware as stated by Keet , i use his version of workaround
1) i copy several setting for vlan 621

vconfig add wan 621
ifconfig wan.621 up
ifconfig lan4 up
exit 0

2) WinSCP step to change the /etc/config/network to tag wan port to wan.621.

and now i'm surfing internet no more using thomson but TpLink.

my 2nd issue was , how can link tp-link to thomson to resume back my VOIP from thomson.. ??? anyone ?

Subscribe Maxis FTTH, installed and activated in June. I did not have much problem with Thomson router, however was unsatisfied with the WIFI speed which is 65Mbps which is slow for streaming movie from pc to media player. After reading through post and decided to change to TP-Link TL-1043ND (i think there is not much stock out there, quite difficult to find one with price less then RM150).
Followed post by Sayboon, flashed back to openWRT, and setup the router according to KLSeet guide.
It was easy, just remember that vlan ids for Maxis is this:
621 - wifi (i tagged it on LAN port 1, unifi is 500)
822 - voip (i tagged it on LAN port 2)
823 - IPTV (i tagged it on LAN port 3, unifi is 600)
other than that, the just follow klseet write up.
Thomson router was connected to LAN1, and wifi was disable. It was used for VoIP, just same setup as jssc in page 9 here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2384890/+200.

Everything was right on the spot during the setup, except the wifi speed was still at 65Mbps  blush.gif . This was tricky parts. Browsed and read many sites, finally found simple solution that need to run some script to turn off autoscan.
you have to download PuTTY  and type in telnet/ssh:
uci set wireless.radio0.noscan=1
uci commit
reboot
(I am n00b in linux & network, i just try)

All good for now thumbup.gif
Hope this will help anyone who want to switch to custom router. Both TL-1043ND and openWRT give a lot flexibility and freedom to me too.
