If your Streamyx router has the ADSL modem built-in, then it would be the second scenario you had originally. Having replaced it with the ASUS, yes, I suspect you would have to switch to the first set-up. Which is actually better, because if one fails, that's the only thing you replace.

I would actually recommend you ditch the ISP-provided rubbish, to be honest. DLink makes (or used to sell) a standalone ADSL2+ modem called the DSL-520B which is incredibly rock-solid. I had it running for about 2-3 years, 24/7, never dropped the connection, never had to be restarted, awesome stuff. You can buy similar models from other manufacturers as well (look at the reviews), around RM100-150, I should think. But yes, you could try using the Streamyx modem/router, turn off the WiFi, and then connect your ASUS to it as well. You do have to read up on how to make the whole thing work, though.

If you want, PM me and I can sell you my old DLink (which was still working perfectly when I upgraded to fibre). I'll send it to your place if in Klang Valley and help set up your connection, too.

haha sadly:

1) This Asus router I bought is new (just bought) - So I'm planning to put it to use.
2) I'm in Kuching.

But Im just unsure if I use set up one will i still get dropping wifi due to overheating or something like that which I'm experiencing now currently using the Dlink router + adsl provided by streamyx.

It's unlikely. ASUS routers - or at least mine - are pretty good in terms of staying up. DLink routers are not so good, that is true - before I upgraded mine to DD-WRT, I had to restart the DLink DIR-620 wireless router about once a week. After upgrading it, more like once every 2 months if at all. ASUS is even better - restarts only when power cut or flash new firmware.

Again, please bear in mind that you will now need 2 separate devices; your ASUS router will connect to an ADSL2+ modem via Ethernet cable. If you set up your new modem to be a bridge, you let your ASUS router connect to Streamyx, and I guarantee you never have to bother much about either the modem or the router.

Hi friend
Did you solved your IPTV problem usin rt N12HP.
I did bought the same router like yours and now facing the same problem...if you already settle your problem, kindly help me to configure mine.
TQ

haha....asus router firmware doesn't support IPTV

i haven't personally try it. but this guy made it work for astro iptv

All credit goes to morisa not me. He helped me got it running.

hehe . i have a N14UHP but i still use the maxis router as the main one. n14uhp is just an access point.

so to clarify, you completely replace the maxis technicolour router with the asus right?

connect the cable from the TM modem to ASUS's WAN,
and do the steps that you have done?

which port does the IPTV LAN cable connects to? would it work if I am thinking of adding one additional astro IPTV via LAN cable? simply plug and play?

hopefully ASUSmy can use this finding and pass it to their engineers to test as well, and maybe they can create a proper profile for Astro iptv + maxis!

Nope. Technicolor still running but as VoIP. I'm using the Asus to do all the routing, firewall and DDNS. The former only sits there doing nothing. Cannot replace 100% as even Asus tech also can't help. Maxis tech not willing to disclose any settings to public.

anybody using n12 routers with mac address filtering, the latest firmware supports 64 mac addresses but when i keyed in 50+ the router starts to hang, suspect firmware bug...

For your info, This Asus RT-N12hp router is compatible with both internet and iPtV. No problem and easy setup..very strong signal too

Hi I am using this as a repeater to boost up my signal that original
Tmnut provide (it have 2~3 bar but very high ping coz long distance to my room).

Now i can get full bar in over 1 meter range distance from the tmnut wireless router.

This is very good stuff, I can play dota2 and CSGO smoothly most of the time.
just a bit pricy, view net selling RM 198+-, if compare to TP-Link 2-5db AP/reapter which is selling RM 98.


I can help forumer to get if you need, coz i stay near Low yat.
Now i am interesting to test more High Power antenna stuff.


I am using UNIFI 5Mbps, full speed.

Hi to all,

I'm new here... May I ask why my wifi always disconnected? I'll used the same brand (ASUS RT-N12HP) before its ok but after 1 month connection is always disconnected... I'll already updated firmware as latest as per asus download... But no luck... or someone got the same problem, any solution?

Thank you and more power...

May I know which port should plug in the Hypptv?

How to configure Unifi Hypptv using this router?

Hi Bro, same problem here.
After a month of usage for Asus RT-N12HP, it will be always disconnected & disappeared from my wifi range.
I try ping it in CMD & realised actually it was always disconnected and connect back for internet.
Do you found the solution?

this router can have bandwidth QoS for certain IP or MAC address?
