It's useful, I have some people at home who use it to call friends, the monthly free minutes is a bonus. Plus the free IDD...

Then you need to get RJ45 to RJ11 converter ot get a RJ45 DECT phone

So you think the VOIP will be routed thru the TP Link? No one seems to have been able to route voice calls without the Thomson/Technicolor router...

should be able to... but I did not try...

Does anyone have this problem?

Ive pluged in the hdd to the usb port but i cant seem to find it on my network.

Need setting or what?

You need a SIP phone to be able to use VOIP, converting from RJ45 to RJ11 and connect it to your phone won't work. Not that many companies selling SIP phone out there .. and if you still need to use your VOIP, just use the technocolour for that. For me, I'm lucky since I've HG850a, the VOIP can be configured to work on Maxis VOIP.

You need to configure the sharing on your router first before it is available. Maxis doesn't have the latest guide on newer V3 router but I believe you could refer to the older guide/interface, the basic thing should be the same.

so much regret in getting maxis fibre broadband..
pay less rm50 from unifi, subscribe 20mbps but get only 10mbps at night ..
sigh...last time use unifi so much win..

torrent or direct download?

no need torrent or direct download..do speedtest also speed like shit..

thats not good, is that the maxis speed test?

just replaced my unifi 10mbps to maxis+astro(add 50 for second decoder) 10mbps for 4 days now, changed to public ip. So far so good, it fact its faster compared to unifi i only get 9.8mbps while maxis managed to get 10+ hope it wont be that shitty later on.

are u on private ip or public?

U should really do a complaint, speed throttling doesnt apply to direct download, only p2p. Try to download from microsoft.com or nvidia.com, u should get around 2.5MB/s, if not, show it to maxis.

my biggest disappointment is just i cant use my own router to work with the iptv perfectly...

not sure what they really use(as it depends on contractor), i signed up for maxis+astro iptv. they gave me Technicolor TG784n v3 router. the modem in my case, they just use my unifi modem(BTU).

Is it the old black TM btu? That's the huawei hg655g. Ask them to change for you to the new TM btu, huawei hg655m, silver color. After they changed it for me and upgraded the technicolor tg784n v3 with the new firmware, I'm getting much better speed, stability, etc.

mine is the white color Alcatel Lucent i-240G-P, havent had any problem with it, had been stable since unifi. not planning to try and error.

i already signed up for maxis+ astro iptv..the called me for installation on this coming 23rd december....what reason u said to maxis to change to public ip? mind to share ur experience with maxis astro iptv? so many negative feedback had read..

already did complaint.
guess what? when i first requested for a public ip, the customer service repeated 3 times to make sure my username is "usernameid@home.maxis.com.my" when it's supposed to be "username@public.maxis.com.my"
had to find it out my self. Not sure if they are trained by monkeys or what.

Today one of the customer service called me and said my username has been signed to 10mbps plan -.-
Now after i rebooted my router, i got back my 20mbps and public ip.
If i didnt make any complains these ppl wont do anything.

so after get public ip, whats the difference bro? sorry newbie in astro iptv..kindly mind to share ur knowledge..

if u use whatsapp with private ip u get delayed message in sending and receiving. Im not using astro iptv since im using Asus router not the stupid router than maxis gave.

with public ip your network is really on the internet, thus you can remote desktop your pc or access your cctv from the internet(anywhere). while private ip is like youre inside their network and might even share the same public ip address with other users. download sites that allow 1 ip address per download for example may show you youre already downloading something.
