Hello,

I apply 30Mbps Unifi, and installer say all new modem give now is ZTE H267A Modem + Router for VDSL. I own Asus RT-68U, they installer say cannot use this router. It's any way i can use my own Asus router?

Basically yours is latest all in one vdsl device. So cannot use Asus router.

Or else u can access to zte device and try set the port to bridge mode vlan 500 then plug in WAN port from asus to lan port x your zte where x is port number you set to bridge mode. This is just illustration info, u have to try. Cannot guaranteed work.

I tried that... Set to bridge the Internet terus tak blink for me... Fucking shit. Man...Only can use my router as a repeater now

Ya internet won't blink.

But u need setup Asus wan port to ZTE port, then Asus set pppoe can ad.

u can find replacement for VDSL2 router.. the only one in market only dlink. search lazada vdsl2 router

i've tried bridge this zte but also happen like what u said.. look ike tm lock other mode on that router.

i was using Tenda AC1200 last time as the router.. just that this time cant seems to get it right on this ZTE modem router. the Technician themselves cant seems to help, initially advice to set it to RG tried it.. cannot.. then advice set to bridge .. also cannot.. so now i just off my ZTE wifi and use my Tenda as repeater only.

Did you??
1. Remove the UniFi PPP login and password in ZTE DSL WAN page?
2. Create a new Internet VLAN - ID: 500, connection type: bridge, xDSL transfer mode: PTM, 802.1p: 0
3. Bind the Internet VLAN to a LAN port e.g. LAN-1
4. Connect LAN-1 to Tenda WAN port
5. Configure PPPoE in Tenda
6. Turn off ZTE wifi

Share the result here

Bro.. it work bro.. ur method works... totally..
but 1 thing I curious is that the ZTE Modem/router now having red light at its indicator..but don't seems to affect mind current internet la.. through Tenda router, internet works and the phone line works as well.
much appreciated to your input...hhaa

Aiya... any idea how about Hypptv setting? seems like it was affected by tis setup..i mean does the setting affect Hypptv?

update :
by default the ZTE itself have a Vlan under BR_vlan_600 need to enable this and don't kacau . its vlan id should be 600 as well

then Vland trunk tab.
the lan port i.e: lan 1 that u bind to the wan at router. need to set te support vlan number to be 2, then it will pop up two vlan id:(vlan id1 & vlan id2) these two shall then be set as 500 & 600. PVID set to 600.

then it is all good..
internet via own router--OK
hypptv via lan 3 or 4 of ur own router --ok

yours is ftth ? direct fibre to home ?

Great news! I can follow your settings once received ZTE 4 in 1 modem tomorrow installation. I registered new UniFi 30mbps RM139 and expecting this VDSL modem to come along.

I will be terminating existing 30mbps RM179 post the installation. Quite funny that TM didn't offer promotion to existing customer that had ended contract. Btw my contract ended 31-Oct 17.

If the HyypTv port is mapped to ZTE LAN-1 by default then just bind the bridge internet VLAN 500 to LAN-2. Connect own router WAN to ZTE LAN-2.

It is up to you to decide where you want the HyypTV being processed. I recommend leave it to ZTE modem to reduce traffics flow to own router. Or unless your router is supper powerful. I have tried both setups with old school ZTE 831 vdsl modem.

By default I think is to the zte lan-4 but initially I confuse with ur instructions... Haha 1st tiner tweaking so much... Lolz... So I jus create another vlan for my own router and bind both to mine router under lan-1...thereafter only my router lan-3/iptv port is working...

According to unifi.. The modem depend on the technician that come to install 1...some giv u this 2 in 1 some might giv u the separate 1...

My status same like u la... 1 of the 1st to get the 30mbps at rm210 per month for 2 years... Ask can convert... They say can't... So jus re-apply this and terminate once they activate the new package.

That good for ZTE H267A Unifi can use own router. After a day installation, I make report thru live-chat request to change ZTE H267A to Huawei HG655M.

The live chat staff can't confirm i can change, on next 2hours TM call me and i can change to Huawei HG655M because they still got stock modem and router.

is it possible to request technician to change the modem and router on the spot when new installation?

HG655M isn't that the old modem... I was on that previously... Then they said have to return when terminate...

You may also get Netis DL4480V 4-in-1 modem as well. My sis in-laws got this few weeks ago to replace her old problematic modem.

4 in 1...got wat oh? Modem +router +hypptv +phone meh?

4 key functions:
1. DSL modem
2. VoIP Phone
3. Router / bridge
4. Wifi AP

Received ZTE H267A today. What I did after the installer completed the installation.

This ZTE default IP address is 192.168.1.1 so your own router need to be in other segment ie 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0

At Internet > WAN > DSL tab > DSL Connection
1. Create new item (Internet bridge VLAN)
- Connection name: BR_VLAN_500
- DSL Transfer mode: PTM
- Type: Bridge Connection
- VLAN: On
- VLAN ID: 500
- Apply

2. PPPoE set to Off

3. Click VLAN Trunk tab
- LAN1 set to On
- Supported VLAN number: 1
- VLAN ID1: 500
- PVID: N/A
- Apply

4. Once done connect own router WAN port to ZTE LAN1. HyppTV connect to ZTE default LAN4

Optional>>
5. If you want to pass the HyppTV to own router then
- At DSL connection > BR_VLAN_600 set to On (default is On)

6. At VLAN Trunk
- LAN1 set to On
- Supported VLAN number: 2
- VLAN ID1: 500
- VLAN ID2: 600
- PVID: N/A
- Apply

2 minor observations. I will try to fix it when have time.
1. ZTE system time not sync with time server. Suspect it can't pick-up internet traffic
2. Internet LED is off. Should be related to above

parking.

is this setting for HSBB or SUBB (phone line to zte) ?

Mine is HSBB. Default for VDSL phone line. I reckon you don't touch this settings.

@patricktoh thanks. Well explained and works great on ZTE H267A Modem + ASUS RT-AC5300 Router

I made the mistake of changing the Port Binding, until you mentioned the VLAN Trunk tab.

Glad to hear it helps I could see you invested in muscular router. I am only using AC3200.

Park

I got alcatel lucent modem, is the huawei one better?

I am planning to request to change the modem.

Alcatel-Lucent is better, its 1gbps.

Huawei is 100mpbs only.

TM said different brand given according to different equipment used in different area. Cant choose.

BTW, anyone has Alcatel Lucent admin login?

I'm not sure about distribute modem.

I also got Alcatel model, but 3 years ago I wished to access to Alcatel configuration but no luck, until now I still try access to it.

After few research I founded they using telnet or ssh or whatever it's using command line. There is no web GUI.

Did you figure out how to do it with CLI?

None, 0 chance.

That's suck.
I asked TM Tech for the login, they refused to give to me. If you have friend workin in TM, maybe can get the access.

I have been given this router as well and it sucks. I can only get about 5mbps in my room. Modem in living room.

I am staying in an apartment and should be using vdsl2. Can I use the above settings if i buy a router?

Why not? Try invest slight more for a good wifi router. What's your budget like? Alternatively buy a 3 pins plug wifi extender.

thank you for the reply.

I will try to change my wireless adaptor first. currently using a 300mbps wireless adaptor. Will get a dual band one and try to connect to the 5ghz band and test it out first.

My phone is connected to the 5ghz band and it can achieve full speeds in the same room.

an update. bought tp link t4u adaptor and i am getting full speeds connected to the 5ghz band now.

So i guess no need to change router.

I followed your steps but still unable to use it as bridge to my e4200 with dd-wrt. Any idea how?

0. Have you rechecked all the steps I stated? Standard question

1. What's the WAN (internet) settings in e4200 dd-wrt?

2. You need to configure PPPoE in dd-wrt with UniFI login details (btw I do not have dd-wrt but setting should be more or less the same)
- Connection type = PPPoE
- User name = xxxx@unifi (you unifi login)
- Password = xxxxx (you need to check from UniFi installation sheet or ask TM 100)
- Connection mode = always on / keep alive
- keep the rest default

3. My instruction was based on assumption that the user knows how to configure own router

Yes I did set it to connect from my router.

Still unable to connect.



Attached thumbnail(s)

Reset my router. Still not working. Ouch.

The setting that I have shared is for bridge mode. ZTE <bridge> own router <LAN/WLAN> PCs / phones. Recommended setup if you have powerful wifi router.

From the screenshot, are you using DD-WRT for AP mode purpose? If yes then then you need to undo all the changes in ZTE


1. The TM ZTE default IP is 192.168.1.1

In DD-WRT >>

2. DD-WRT router local IP need to configure as 192.168.0.1 / sub-mask 255.255.255.0 (different sub-net to ZTE)

3. Gateway 0.0.0.0

4. Local DNS 0.0.0.0

5. DHCP IP pool must be in 192.168.0.X range e.g.
Start IP address 192.168.0.100
Max user 50
Static DNS1 8.8.8.8

6. How's the PPoE setup at the top?

I Whatsapp-ed you

A big thank you to patricktoh for his time and patient for helping me to set up my router.

For some reason I can't use my e4200 in router mode already. Now only can use it in AP mode.

The version of the dd-wrt is in 2012, will find a time to flash it with latest firmware and see still can connect or not.

You're most welcome.

Hi all,

need help.

I have this ZTE (ZXHN-H267A). How do i use it with my DIR-850L router? i try connecting it to LAN1 and try setup on the DIR850L as DHCP but it failed to detect.

Can advice sifus?

Problem solved with Patrick Toh steps... TQTQ

Hi there,

I got the above modem/router 2 in 1 as well. I am thinking if I should be getting a separate Asus 86 router? Not sure if this router is any good.

I do have an issue with wifi. Phone, TV, etc no problem. But my laptop seems to be rejecting this connection via Wifi. The connection will after a few seconds show the ! mark meaning no internet. Not sure where the settings go wrong. If I use fixed RJ45 to the router, no problem.

Any gurus can help?

Thanks.

Glad to hear it works for you too...

Could be your laptop settings. I would change the router to the Asus RT-AC86U anyway if you have the budget, as it is definitely much better than this router.

1. Which band you're connecting to, 2.4 or 5ghz? Suggest you turn off the unused band to see if it is better

2. What's the SSID name? Try to give different name for 2.4 and 5 band

3. Any changes you made to ZTE after TM contractor completed the installation?

Hi Gurus,

Just got my ZTE H267A Modem a few weeks ago after signing up for 30Mbps....is there a way to boost it's wifi signal strength?

Just moved in to a new apartment, but the reception in some areas receive less than 3Mbps.

I've heard that having a 2+1 modem/router is not good.

But should I call TM and ask for a replacement? (switch back to having 1 modem + 1 router). Since no TV at home yet....Hypptv has not been installed....

Any help is appreciated

Hi there,

1. Both band have the same problem.

2. SSID is the same as the previous one I have. Both band have diff name. Key is, it works for phone and tv. So most likely some cockup in my laptop...

3. Nope. I changed nothing.

Anyway it doesn't matter, maybe my windows 7 somehow corrupted. I am now using LAN connect with direct RJ45 to the router. It works fine now.

However one question, now I can't access sensitive websites blocked by our malaysia govt censorship... despite in the router I configure google dns and also in the laptop setting.

Now censorship goes beyond google dns?

This ZTE 2 in 1 has no external antenna so don't expect great signal but generally it is a all rounded modem router. Suggest you invest in a mid range AP/router to boost the wifi signals. Or get a powerline extender with wifi repeater to cover the blind spots.

Btw don't think TM will entertain your request for split units.

Using Google DNS doesn't exempt you from monitored by local gov. You need to have VPN connection.

Thanks a bunch! Appreciate it!

Yeah was thinking about that for TM....you saved me the headache xD.

I don't understand why TM would give u a 2-in-1 product with such weak wifi coverage.

So with this ZTE model, I can hook it up with a router and isolate the WiFi signal to emit from the router only?

Tried looking around for guides on how to utilise this, but very little information out there.

Yes, you can switch off the ZTE in-built wifi channels. Use the wifi from own router only. I am on this configuration. Only turn on ZTE wifi via the physical button on top when need to check/change ZTE settings.

Awesome!! Thanks so much Guru Patrick!!!

/bow /bow /salute

Guru patrick..

Just one quick question... is this router compatible with the zte modem?




Attached thumbnail(s)

Hi Benny,
Yup it is compatible with unifi. This router is only good for long distance, wider wifi coverage. The rest of feature so-so only. Skip this router if you're on unifi 100Mbps package. The 100Mbps WAN port is the bandwidth bottleneck.

If your budget is below RM200 and dual-band not a must then I would recommend you go for TL-WR1043N instead. Main advantage is gigabits WAN & LAN ports. 3 x 5dBi antennas.

http://www.tp-link.com.my/products/details...TL-WR1043N.html

I have old WR1043N to let go. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4480688&hl=

Great! Hahaha...thanks for the offer..I'll check with the waifu and get back to you asap
*She is very particular about these things* huhu....

Wolger

You may read these 2 links and then reattempt your DD-WRT Unifi quest...
Basically need to configure VLAN in Cisco manually since DD-WRT does not have pre-configured unifi profile like any other standard routers sold on the shelves.

Haha, I x paham all the technical jargons.

Anyway. I purchased TP-WR941HP v1.0, managed to set it up as an access point while disabling the WiFi on the ZTE (2.4Ghz / 5Ghz).

Ran through the TP-link quick setup, and now I get better coverage, but still not max or even higher speeds hahahaha.

Called the TP-link careline, and they said the model i purchased can only act as an coverage extender/wifi access point.

The TP link careline dude said in condo's the stability of the coverage is very difficult because of so many interference. and this TP Link model cannot emit 5Ghz.....

Currently, both WLAN configuration on my ZTE is off. (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz)

2.4Ghz channel is on channel 11.
The WAN on the TP-link router is orange in colour @_@.....

Do you have any idea how to stabilise the wifi signals and coverage, despite me being able to get signal even when I'm 2 floors below my unit? xD

Yes, if you are living in a condo, I would highly recommend you getting an AP or router that can support 5GHz and AC. Otherwise, your wireless signal will be overwhelmed by other wireless APs. It is what’s it is. No way to stabilize WiFi signals and coverage if you are on the 2.4GHz band, plus you are living in a condo as well.

Huhu.. duly noted. Thanks for the confirmation

How do i set remote access to my router when im outside?

my previous dlink 850 works but can't find much info on this zte via google

If you use bridge mode then you can't reach ZTE modem. The remote access will reach the router that established the PPPoE connection. Presume you want to access the PPPoE router, 2 basic things need to happen

I) Enable remote access from internet to the router
2) You must get hold of the public IP of the active PPPoE connection. I believe you're aware of the public IP keeps changing whenever connection cycled

Set it here. I think it's off by default.

Hi Patrick,

any update on the option 2?


2 minor observations. I will try to fix it when have time.
1. ZTE system time not sync with time server. Suspect it can't pick-up internet traffic
2. Internet LED is off. Should be related to above

Unfortunately no luck yet but I have an idea. Connect ZTE WAN to router LAN. Then configure ZTE routing thru WAN.

@soonwai
thanks i manage to get it work..
I guess i still need to know my public ip before i can remote right? any fix ip?

or any app that i can view my router such as dlink?

Thanks

No problem. You can use dynamic dns (DDNS) to keep track of your public ip. The ZTE supports quite a few providers. Were any of your previous routers a DLink? If so then you may already have a dlinkddns account. You can use that with dyndns on the ZTE.

Fix ip available but at a high cost from TM. I don't think there's an app for ZTE unfortunately.

@soonwai
thanks ! manage to get it work finally with your advise
something new i learn

Bro soonwai, sorry for trouble you again.
crack my head trying to figure this whole day.

i manage to setup ddns, but whenever i reboot router and public ip changed, it doesn't auto update on the ddns provider(so far i tried freedns and noip which supported by zte)
im still confuse if the issue came from ddns provider, my router or configuration problem
appreciate your kind advise

Does it update freedns or noip correctly when you first set it up? The ZTE that I have access to is using DynDNS and its seems to be working ok. Unfortunately I don't use freedns nor noip so can't really help there. Maybe you can enable logging and see if there're any messages in there relating to ddns.

Yea, actually it auto detect my public ip when i first setup. But when i reboot, it does not update.
Just to clarify, what i need is just create new host as dns host type, thats all right. No need port forward or anything since im using router.

Correct, nothing else to configure since everything is on the router so just ddns type, yourhostname, user & password. And if it updates correctly one time then it should be OK already and it definitely should update after a reboot. Another option is to run a ddns client on a PC.

-deleted- got it.

It should be:
Username: tmadmin
Password: Adm@XXXX

XXXX = last 4 digit of MAC address

Yeap just found it. Thanks though.

based in these few pages as feedback from forumers here, what i can conclude here for this 4 in 1 modem is weak wifi signal.

Anyone here can you comments whether it work same like Huawei HG655a in term of performance?

@patricktoh read some of your replies and found useful.
I have recently switched to Maxis via Unifi, and plan to ditch the maxis router and use the ZTE H267A and custom router. may i know if you or anyone have knowledge to do the following
replace maxis technicolor TG784nv3 with ZTE H267A and have the voip ported to ZTE H267A? so i dont need two router.

Hi cruidi,
I have not done so but technically can be done as long you could replicate/dump all the key configurations from Maxis modem
- Internet VLAN
- VoIP VLAN & configuration

These 2 weeks I am very busy hence unable to assist you but after CNY we can try.

Patrick Toh

Hi there I would like to enquire if these settings are possible on the Huawei HG8240H ONU modem as well?

Bumping up this thread to say thanks to @patricktoh for his help and guidance with this wifi set up just now. You are the best.

You're most welcome. Solving network problems is my hobby.

Hi, I just apply for Unifi Lite 10Mbps (Subb) , it's use copper line, not fiber line, installer give me ZTE H267A Modem + Router as well. I wish to use my own Xiaomi Pro router and I had try both method provide above but seem like I fails to connect to internet using my own router. I am not sure the method above can work on Unifi Lite (Subb) or does it need special setting?? sorry for my poor english , hope can get help here, thanks!

If you have done the my steps in second dialog box then the problem should be from Xiaomi settings. Xiaomi Pro has UniFi profile? I am on copper wire too.

Check this link: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4262597/all It says native Xiaomi Pro doesn't support VLAN tagging then you can forget about using it for UniFi except as wifi Access Point.

Thank you

Hello all, Thank you for the great thread. I am trying to help my Malaysia office with their static IP and their upgrade to TM 100/50 Fiber. The technicians put in a new wireless router and I didn't know how the old one was configured so we're no longer getting a DHCP address of our public IP to our firewall. I have tried everything listed in this thread but I cannot get our Cisco ASA to connect via PPPoE. I tried to bridge the whole ZTE router as well as the instructions in here.

Hardware Topology:
Alcatel-Lucent I-240G-P ONT
ZTE ZXHN H267A
Cisco ASA 5505

Our previous TM device would give us our static public as a DHCP lease. Any suggestions would be welcomed. I assumed their wireless router did the PPPoE connection and then would hand it off on LAN-1. I also tried to bypass and go straight in the I-240G-P ONT and do the PPPoE in the ASA with VLAN 500 on the outside interface with no success.


*Edit*

Right now I am doing a static DHCP to the MAC of the Cisco ASA and doing a 1 to 1 NAT to accomplish what I need for right now (Site to Site IPSEC VPN) but i would really like to get any firewall out of the way between my firewall and the ISP.
