WANT to subscribe.
It's done. Happy to see router getting public IP and not CGNAT shit.

vanity fair

now i can access the router from wo- oh, wait,
where the eff is the setting to allow managing LG8245X6-10 from remote ...?

Yesterday, staff asked me to switch username in order to start using public IP.
from id@home.maxis.com.my
to id@public.maxis.com.my

so, in your case, probably the revese of that?

Won't be that notice-ably slow laah. Just another 1024+ R&R through CGNAT hoops and loops

not sure - will it outright connect with @home.maxis.com.my username? maybe you can test it out without unsubscribing

my observation;
before change, @home assigns CGNAT IP to WAN interface.
right after change; @public assigns public IP to WAN interface.

i think no issue to change only that word to @home to test out.
that is the only change I (effectively) did anyway.

(but i have the password as well, recorded from time fibre was installed.)

This add-on made an appearance AFTER I subscribed to public IP (last week). Before, that area is an empty space in my MyMaxis, so I can't say how it should look like if you never subscribed to, OR, if you are no longer subscribing.

Set "UseDNS no" on /etc~ssh/sshd_config, or equivalent.
(i cannot post actual path, seems like cloudflare borks when i put /etc/ssh/...)

This parameter controls whether server-side executes reverse DNS lookup to determine hostname of the IP that you are connecting from. Of course it will be faster to check the identity of public IP as opposed to check the identity of CGNAT you are jumping through (if that even make sense, but please, just say you understand it).

google CAPTCHA nothing to do with SSH ... but most probably to do with shared CGNAT-ed public IP.

don't know how many subscribers are hidden behind your shared CGNAT-ed public IP.
including shady, dubious, hanky-panky subscribers

your public IP still free until 31st March.
Mine is outright have to pay.

maybe, just maybe, it will appear when you start getting charged....

Maxis have Huawei LG8245X6-10 and Kaon AR2140.

(1) Those who experienced both; which is better? Feature-wise? Signal-wise? Or they are comparable same?

(2) Kaon AR2140 supports how many SSIDs? (LG8245X6-10 supports 3 possible SSIDs for each band 2.4GHz and band 5GHz).

(2) If I sign up for MaxPerts subscription, will I get same as existing LG8245X6-10, or possible to get Kaon AR2140 instead?

intended use: as additional nodes for existing LG8245X6-10 2.4GHz mesh with 50 odd smart home WiFi devices, and expanding. i find that now using 3 nodes and shorter DHCP expiry has enabled the devices to remain connected and online, as opposed to having only 2 nodes with devices goes whack-a-mole "now you see it, now you don't". still seeing 1 or 2 specific devices acting up...which is better than having up to 10 random devices acting up at random times.

i believe i've read before, not specific to maxis->unifi.

in general, there will be a short period of time where you will have concurrent "running" of both fibre service and get billed accordingly. something like the party A won't release you until party B confirm already switched, or something like along that line. you don't want your port to accidentally be released by one party before the other party had finished taking it up, right?

I asked to be on public IP since 7th March 2023.
Not prorated (i'm not complaining, in case you are wondering).

Just imagine if this is your intranet, you are putting a NAT router behind NAT router behind NAT router (repeat as many times you like) between your end device and the Internet.

Of course, each routing layer will incur additional ms.
Add-on more ms for the NAT funtion to do de/translation.

sounds like you have built an ecosystem all the while on public IP.
and that ecosystem didn't failover gracefully when additional layer of NAT is introduced.
maybe you need to review your previous set up and configuration.

Maxis called me to offer replace my current router with newer model "Wifi 6" router. Said that my pre-existing Huawei LG8245X6-10 is older model.

She said the new model is also Huawei and EasyMesh, which I can look up at Maxis website.
But when I look at the site before, can only see the Kaon model being touted, and I doubt it's Huawei....

Also, since I have no guarantee that the alleged newer model (i) is better in terms of functionality compared to older, and (ii) I recently spent to buy 4th node of the old model, I declined the offer to upgrade (and another 24mth lockdown).

i'm already on 2+yrs of TV Zerolution, thank you. 😏

because i have bought additional Easymesh nodes that matches my existing Huawei router model. And I have the top-most admin login so I can configure as I need.
The last thing I want is replace with an unknown Kaon router with unknown level of configurability.
Maxis staff say new one is "Huawei" as well as shown on website, but where is this new Huawei featured? All i see is the unknown Kaon.
And, this the time to lock people on old prices, before they announce revision post MSAP reduction.

The LG8246X6-10 is surprisingly feature-packed, that's why I just don't want to gamble with possibility of it being replaced by (expectedly inferior) Kaon.

I did ask before the features of Kaon but nobody answered.

If there is a complain about LG8245X6-10, is that the LAN and DHCP is limited to /24 subnet; I cannot grow it to /23. And, only 16 entries for static DHCP.

As for Easymesh, the LG8245X6-10 can create 3 SSID each for 2.4GHz and for 5GHz; total of 6 distinct SSIDs.
I'm not sure if other brand and/or model can actually match that number of SSIDs. I have 2.4GHz SSIDs set up, each for smart HA switch, for smart HA socket, and another for anything else smart HA.

eh, MSAP revision already announced back in February.
Minister promised prices of subscription to come down across board in few months time.
