Did u asked for the 799 router ?

Why crying for it when it ain't FREE ?
Impossible for Maxis to give complimentary free astro channels to MHF customers.
You probably get a free STB and a dedicated line if you subscribe for Astro IPTV via your existing MHF account.

Dear Sifu,

I need help on Wifi connection.

Home > Home Network > Devices > Unknown-xxxxxxxxxxx
I unchecked "Allow On WLAN" then click apply to temporary disallow the device to connect to Thomson Wifi network. The disallow was successful.
The router was then shutdown automatically by timer control at 1.30am (it was a daily routine)
The next day when I when into the "Home > Home Network > Devices > Unknown-xxxxxxxxxxx" again, I saw the "Allow On WLAN" re-checked (allow) by itself again but the device can't connect to the WLAN.
I unchecked and rechecked then click "apply" several times but the said device still unable to connect to the Thomson Wifi.
The device can detect the Thomson AP but can't sign in with the correct Wifi passkey.

Is there any setting I missed out ? Hard reset will be the last resort.

Got. go for standard installation and save the RM300 for a pair of home plugs (RM160) to extent the line to the intended place.

My modem and router is on timer. Auto off at 1.30am and auto on at 6am 24/7. So far no restart problem.

Well that's good sign. Now you have a valid excuse to get a router upgrade from maxis. Just got mind replaced weeks ago.

Added on November 7, 2012, 9:25 amYes. Use the external timer.

The advantages of having timer to auto off the router and modem when not in use are as follows:

1. Reduce the chance of power surge damage while you are sleeping.
2. Router and modem gets a fresh restart every morning.
3. Limit the time to deter the wifi key hacking software.
4. Save energy, save money.
5. Force discipline to stop surfing and go to sleep.

To those who are interested to know the power consumption of TM modem and Thomson router.

TM modem 4.4w
Thomson router 8.8w (total 13.2w)
Aztech Dect phone 0.5w (total 13.7w)
Laptop cooler 2.8w (total 16.5w)
Total annual electricity consumption in kw/h: 16.5w x 24hr x 365days / 1000 =144,540
Total TNB bill based on 33.4 sen per unit catergory is: RM48.28
Total TNB bill based on 40 sen per unit catergory is: RM57.82

I'm using Maxis TechnicColour v3 router. I have the same few seconds disconnection problem between my wifi devices and the router. It happens few times a day, almost everyday.

Thanks, had been doing it since the previous Thomson router but no one fixed wifi channel will stay good and stable for at least 3 days. Have to to keep changing channel and it was very frustrating.
I wonder why I don't even need to change wifi channels for the past 10 years when I was using Streamyx with Linksys wifi router.

Why not apply for ocbc titanium card and pay online to enjoy 5% cash rebate ?

Same here. But mobile version on Ipad not effected.

Bro, Thanks for the info. I can't access the IPv6 site as well.

I'm using Technic Colour v3 too, I log into Broadband Connection > under link status, IPv4 connected and IPv6 disconnected > eInternet Viewmore > details > ICP/IPv6 Settings, the IPv6 state was disable.

There was no "configure" button to click and I was not able to edit the values under ICP/IPv6 Settings.

How did you do it ?? Thanks

How to enable the IPv6 ??
