Hi everybody,

I have terminated my UNIFi services from TM and subscribe to ASTRO-Maxis IPTV.

During my 2 years using of Unifi, I can use my RT-N56U(loan to someone already) and RT-N66U without ever using the supplied DLink Router by TM. I can connect to Internet and also watch HyppTV.

After one month of parallel running of TM-Unifi and ASTRO-Maxis, i decided to terminate the Unifi and use ASTRO-Maxis only. I tried to use the my RT-N66U to replace that Maxis-Thompson router but cannot get IPTV eventhough the internet is OK.

So, I decided to connect the Maxis-Thompson router to the BTU (ONU-Alcatel-Lucent-I240G) and my RT-N66U to the Maxis-Thompson router. Thus only one connection out from the Maxis-Thompson router to my WAN connection of the RT-N66U router.

I configure the Maxis-Thompson router to give DMZ access to the connected RT-N66U and all my wireless and ASTRO-IPTV connected to the RT-N66U. working sweetly and no problem at all. Internet and IPTV is working. I even have 2 ASTRO PVR (using the 2nd decoder promotion).

I can even uses Asus AICloud android app, Use the built-in torrent downloader, and use the built-in ASUS DDNS.

I can access the router from my office via port 8081 for torrent/file downloading so that when I reach home, the file is ready to play.

Now, how can I bypass that Maxis-Thompson router at all and use my RT-N66U stand alone?

Thank you very much for any suggestion and help.

what is your firmware version for your router?

this is my router's firmware

ASUS RT-N66U Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.374.979

To date, quoting AsusMY in his/her thread, Asus products are currently not able to support Astro IPTV over Maxis properly. So you're going have to stick with this setup until they come up with the support

thanx for the info

any update on this ?
