do you mind letting me know how bro?

yes it uses the same unifi infrastructure. however as default, maxis uses private ip and therefore you cannot connect with your cctv unless you request for a public ip. I did that but had to call the centre several times before they fiannly did it. after they activate your public ip, you have to change your username from xxxx@home.maxis, etc to xxxx@public.maxis,etc....

Which router u using bro? I have WR1043ND. Can use for maxis? Care to explain how, settings, etc and would it work with byond iptv as I am using byond iptv with maxis bb.

thanks bro, will try and see.

Nope, won't effect. I'm using iptv too. Works great.

U can't download it as it is a customized firmware for maxis fibre use. I had mine upgraded to the latest version when the technician came over recently to troubleshoot some issues. The latest available version is 10.2.5.2 (BE variant).

Just out of curiosity, didn't u test the network after they installed it?

Yep, I'm on astro iptv powered by maxis. Installed about 4 months ago. So far so good, but internet face slow speeds occasionally but otherwise very happy with it.

Kelana Jaya.

2 days ago the maxis technician remotely updated my technicolor TG784n v3 to version 10.2.7.4 variant CC after I complaint about slow speed. So far so good, and there is a new starting summary page which shows at a glance info including my Astro IPTV connection.

That is the best and vital decision to make. Unfortunately, for us with Astro IPTV, we are stuck with the sub-standard Technicolor routers which have the worst wireless range I have ever used in my life. Why can't they allow custom routers and provide the necessary settings needed for IPTV?

I have tried this exact router for Astro IPTV, I set vlan as 822, 821 and even 823 as I read in a forum somewhere, doesn't work. Internet works great but no IPTV. When I asked the technical team, they said only technicolor router can be used for Astro IPTV.

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.

I just noticed that my technicolor router was updated with new firmware again. Now it's version 10.2.8.3 as in the screenshot. I also noticed 2 new WLAN networks as in the other screenshot. Does anyone know what it's for? And another point is I notice now the wireless range is much better. Previously I couldn't be connected in my kitchen and outside verandah, but now I been tried streaming YouTube, no problem. So wireless performance is much better now. But what are the items there for?

Maxis did the update remotely. Maybe u need to call them and ask them to do it. I complained about bad wireless coverage and slow speed, therefore they must loaded the new firmware for me.

Yes IPTV, I called Astro and complained about slow speed and bad wireless coverage. I sent them a very nasty email. Very nasty. Next day someone from Astro service recovery unit called me and apologized and gave me 2 options. I can either cancel my Astro IPTV and maxis broadband with no penalty fees and revert back to normal Astro and re-connect my Unifi or give the a chance to solve my problem. So I decided to give one last chance. After that a technician from maxis called me and told me he is remotely upgrading my firmware which includes some new wireless tweaks as in my screenshot in my previous post above, but I don't know what those settings are for. My wireless coverage has indeed improved. Speed also so far so good.

Yep, my firmware also auto updated again to version 10.2.8.3 (CN)

Remove Google DNS, then which DNS u use? Maxis default? Or router default?

Anyone here using Apple TV? I'm getting constant buffering on streaming radio and netflix. When I connect to my DiGi broadband, streams ok.

Tried both. When I connect with DiGi broadband it's fine. I've made a complaint to Astro already.
