Gurus,

I'd just migrated from unifi to maxis home fibre. Since I still have the unifi router and Maxis is also using the same modem as Unifi, can I:
1. Hook up my unifi (dlink) router to maxis modem?
2. Configure that dlink router to be a wifi spot under a different dns domain.

How can I do that? The current Thomson router also cannot configure multiple wifi spots.

I think yes you can hookup the dlink to thomson, but as long u r ok with the dlink wireless capability..

just set the dlink to be access point and hook to LAN port of thomson.

Sorry, I think I wasn't being specific in my earlier post. I would like to have 2 routers running at the same time. One is the existing Maxis Thomson router. Another is the Dlink router. Through this setup, I will then have 2 Wifi spots at home, both are configured to a different DNS. I believe the default Maxis' DNS configuration is 192.168.1.xx while Unifi is 192.168.0.xx

Can this configuration be done? Because I think in the router, you also would need to specify your fibre broadband credentials. Essentially, can 1 account be shared among 2 routers but are hooked up to the same modem?

Thanks for the input guys. The more I read, the more I get the impression that it's a draw of luck? Anybody here with 20Mbps and 30Mbps package? Are disconnection and high ping times problems only isolated to the 10Mbps customers?

From what I gather, the consensus seem to point to the problematic router. I'm made to understand that if I use my own router (Asus RT-56U), I should have no disconnection problems, right?

Anyway, I'm very tempted to go the Maxis route since till today, TM has not contacted me to fix an appointment on when I can do the relocation to my new place. Perhaps, nobody gets any commission for existing customers...

For those who do not know that Maxis got an issue on billing for 1st statement charged full amoung RM118 instead of pro-rate.

My case was installation done on 27 Sept 2012.

I received a statement on 17 Oct 2012 (billing cycle 17 Sept -16 Oct 2012) being charged RM118.

Called CS and put into investigation.

For those who are not aware, please check your statement before payment.

Cheers

Anyone here having frequent disconnection issue today?
It is so annoying, every 5 minutes it disconnect and if lucky it will be automatically reconnect back, if not I need to switch off the router and turn it on back then only can use

Is maxis line problem or the router kaput?

hi all. im new to maxis broadband. I have a question, can maxis home wireless modem work with tp link or dlink home plug?
cos i will need home plug to share internet to second floor and room.

thanks in advance.

mine no problem at all...
in penang area btw, maybe in KL a lot of user compare to penang.

I heard from a guy in maxis shop that FTTH can't watch PPstream online is it true?

Mine still can't.. just started few days back.

I use tplink homeplug all fine no problem

Mine was rather weird. One PC can, one pc cannot.

But when use VPN, sure can

postpone.
if i proceed to upgrade, free 600minutes will reduce to 200minutes call from voip to maxis mobile

This is for those who are using THOMSON TG784n router and JDownloader for its auto reconnection for new IP's. Not sure if this happens to everyone, but I found out after testing and some googling in which this router will not work properly with Jdownloader's LiveHeader reconnection script (including Raw Mode). Initially I tried to use batch file to run telnet command, and realized that the batch will not work once you get into telnet mode (as it requires keyboard input) and thus; I've resorted to another method.

You'll need several tools / applications for this to work, be noted that it is best to be used only when you are idle from the computer, since this is just a very basic script.


GUIDE FOR AUTO RECONNECTION SCRIPT WITH THOMSON TG784N

• This is tested for THOMSON TG784n router only.
• JDownloader
• AutoHotKey
• Any basic text editor program (Notepad, Notepad++, anything.)
• Enabling TELNET CLIENT for Windows 7
• Locate the telnet.exe in your system.
  By default it is located at C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-telnet-client_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_1426830c3ebb712d\telnet.exe for Windows 7 64bit

STEP 1a: Prepare the script below and save it as reconnection.ahk
STEP 1b: Modify the script if necessary
You will only have to modify the green highlighted parts. If the location of telnet.exe is same as I posted above, you need not to make any modifications to it. By default, the script connects to the default router IP (192.168.1.254) with the ID of 'Administrator' and PW of 'yourpasswordhere'. Modify accordingly.

If you need to make modifications but unsure of how, you can either use AutoScriptWriter (recorder) that came with AutoHotkey or PM/reply here.


STEP 2: Attach the script to JDownloader Reconnection Script.

1. Go to 'Settings'
2. Click 'Reconnections' and select 'External' tab
3. Select the saved .ahk file. Alternatively, you can compile the .ahk file (right click --> Compile Script) and use the compiled .exe file instead
4. Check 'Use special executer for Windows'
5. Under 'Showcase' below, click 'Change IP' to test if the script works or not.
   • If it doesn't; first try to run the script OUTSIDE of the Jdownloader and ensure that the script works, if it does not, somewhere is wrong with the script.
   • If it works outside of Jdownloader but not when attached to Jdownloader, ensure that the script runs exactly as it is when it is executed outside of JDownloader; if not, check everything again.

SUMMARY:
Basically, you can create the script in any other preferred language of yours. The main concept behind this is to:

1. Launch Command Prompt (Telnet must be enabled as a Windows Feature) and type the following
2. telnet 192.168.1.254
3. enter your Username (e.g. Administrator)
4. enter your Password (e.g. 12345)
5. ppp ifdetach
6. enter the interface name (default is eInternet)
7. ppp ifattach
8. enter the interface name (default is eInternet)
9. type exit to quit telnet session
10. press any key to back to command prompt
11. type exit to quit command prompt window (IMPORTANT! I have tried to leave it as it is but the script will not work properly on 2nd iteration)

Hopefully this guide *CAN* help someone out there and if there's anything that I have missed out, mistakes or errors; feel free to inform me!

Thanks!

OMG...now cannot use maxis fibre at all!!
