Some review about the router

1. Gigabit LAN Port is cool.

2. Signal strength is good
- able to cover (20 x 75sq ft) double story house
- may not be accurate due to the difference of house structure and placement of router.

3. Love the bandwidth control feature.

Hi there, actually you can still use the rest port instead of first port only..not nothing different.

hello,

can someone help me in setting up dd-wrt for this router?,
im using dd-wrt (beta 03-05-2015-r26446), i managed to get it work but can't connect to internet using laptop wireless, it get quite long to connect but managed to get ip address, still.., no internet. Using lan and phone(android and ios) it can connect and surf web smoothly but not on windows wireless and whenever i reconnect lan cable to pc, it take some time before i can connect and surf internet.

Thanks you.

Hi there,

Nice write up. Is there a possibility to connect the phone as well somehow in this configuration? As you know the VOIP is connected to the Thompson router.

With the Thompson router out of the picture, how do you get the phone working?

Hi, after setup Maxis Fiber IPTV, TP Link C7 router can watch IPTV but cant online. Dont know what happen???

Thanks for the guide on how to setup TPlink router with Maxis. I'm good with the Internet part.

The only problem is I don't seems to get the VOIP to work. So far, I have: -

VLAN setup: -
> LAN1 - IPTV - vlanID : 823
> LAN2 - Internet - vlanID : 621
> LAN3 - Internet - vlanID : 621
> LAN4 - VOIP - vlanID : 821

Connect LAN4 of TPlink to WAN of Thomson....VOIP not working.

Is there anything that I need to adjust on the Maxis router ?

Appreciate guidance. Thanks.

Yes it is.after you upgrade the latest firmware,the coverage and everything is improved

Can i change these anttena to 8dpi,does it work?

my house 2 floor,the wifi coverage very good after upgrade the latest firmware.

really? may i know this model price is?

Can you please show me how to use this router with my Astro IPTV in replace of the Thomson router. I do not have a VOID....Need Help urgent.

Hi Bro,you can try to change to 821 for VOIP
