a BIG THANKS to bro fooken!!! It work to me also, now all devices are CONNECTED!!!

Hi,
I just registered this maxis fibre & I wanna ask can I use my current apple airport extreme router
with it? Anyone have using this combo?

Yup! i'm using airport express, just plug into either 1~4 port then can use it, i'm disable the thomson wifi

just plug & play? no other setting or setup required?...thanks

Hi all, i came from Bukit Serdang and i am experiencing the same problem with your guy that my desktop and laptop could not connect to thomson but my smart phone able to. From this thread, i found out that i might be able to solve my problem by hard reset the router.

The problem now is i am tenant of my unit and the internet service was installed by owner and she is not so sure about the username/password and etc.

My concerns:
1) Any extra informations are needed if i would like to re-configure the Thomson router? In addition of username and password?
2) How i can get the username/password info?

Thanks and looking forward for your guy's reply.

Sure you still have to setup your extreme, just like you setup previous Internet setup...
If i no mistake, At setup wizard, 1 of the section, Choose 'bridge' instead of 'DHCP & NAT', otherwise it will detect 2 NAT.

what you need to fill is
example:

1)username: 12345@home.maxis.com.my
Password : 12345(+1)
*If you are public ip, pls change to public.maxis instead of home.maxis

2)CHOOSE: TM

3) VOIP:

URI : 0387654321
username : 0387654321
password : 0387654321(+1)

4) Skip hot spot : UNTICK

Not hard to reset. You may call their support to guide you on the setup if you're not sure bout the setting.

hard reset the thomson router only enable u to surf with only 1 pc or smartphone at one time. U need to assign in the ip address with different id to other pc or smartphone if u want to surf simultaneously.

the maxis have confirm the problem is at their network and server site due to ip issue.

The above is only a temporary solution.

I see you all are still busy with the thomson wifi router.

really, maxis should dump their contract with thomson and provide a better one.
this is really making maxis's name bad.

me for one will never ever have anything to do with maxis again.

good luck guys.

i still can access wifi internet for 5pc of my devices (dynamic IP) But THE ONLY thing is, when I try to open XUNLEI (torrent download), The internet will immediately down and unable to surfing or online. I'm just afraid, are they working on something to BLOCK torrent??

not really, can can call maxis to confirm this, according to them, a lot MHF users are affected and awaiting rectification from TM side. Not sure how accurate but this is what they replied.

btw, i also experienced a torrenting web site for TVB drama had blocked.

this particular one is a network issue as conveyed by peri peri. i too faced it and spoke to their engineers....it was a broadcast storm in the network.

to me it looks like maxis network is giving the thomson a bad name... public ip issue, network latency, slow browsing....now this dhcp ip issue. they have a lot to iron out in the network i guess.

really?
so it is maxis's problems not thomson?
maxis really has to get their act together.
but I wont buy a thomson product either.

Added on September 23, 2012, 5:54 pmyup, i believe maxis throttle torrent.
I voiced my concern to them earlier when rapidshare cannot complete downloads....they do not deny it.
just copy and paste the FUP to me.

if you open xunlei and immediately cannot surf,
it is due to maxis blocking some ports.

I cannot brain this, why need to throttle?
my point is this
1) Iniatially there is a lot of things to download, prawn, movies etc
2) then realise there is too much media in the hdd havent watch yet
3) hdd full need to buy new one.
4) eventually almost everyone will have less downloading.

btw,
I have watched 75 episode of tvb, 12 japanese av, 78 box-office movies, 345 youtubes, 32 blueray movies
and i havent slept for 2 weeks edi.
my point.

well, an actual network problem, but users might think it's the router unstable. They'll think it's overheating, and run off to lowyat to get usb fan...

to be fair, the thomson product has it's issues too albeit a little minor. The wifi signal coverage probably leaves much to be desired for certain user. For me it's OK, i don't have too big of a house, so it's adequate.
An the GUI seems to have little features to play around with. Though I think this more of Maxis control, since I notice the command line is pretty customizable and have quite some features.

Other than that, i find it pretty stable for my extensive thrashing. Might not work for some users. I think it's more of a product limitation.

Maxis should give an alternative for users to choose, at least 2 different routers. Maxis should take the initiative, since there's no off the shelf router with voice ATA port. Usually ISP grade routers only have this kind function. Which explains why you can't get thomson off the shelf.

To public IP users here: Is the frequent disconnection / DNS-time-out error solved or still persists? Was told that it should be fixed on TM's side about two weeks ago, but I still haven't change back to public IP, was worrying that this troubling issue hasn't been fixed and continues to haunt me

I'm pretty happy with Private IP range... instant connection...

here are the video guide that i made for Asus RT-N66U router
so easy with this router


1.Connect Lan2 from modem to Asus RT-N66U WAN port
2.access your router 192.168.1.1 via lan or wireless
3.follow the video below

Nice tutorial and thanks for sharing!
N66U is an expensive but very good router.
