This thread like so quiet only.. Recently, I bought the Singtel version of this router for dirt cheap while down in Singapore to play around and hopefully replace the stock TP-Link AC1200 router.. and see how hard it is to use with UniFI. First thing I realized is dem, this router is way heavier than the TP-Link! Also got 2 USB 3.0 ports and a lot more lights.

So this version is the FG7009GR(AC), one number up from the Aztech one (FG7008GR(AC)), and the differences are only:
- Casing has no trace of Aztech, all brands replaced by Singtel
- Firmware changes (USB port disabled,  SSID set to Singtel one, additional routes)
- ‘Advanced’ mode by going to http://192.168.1.254/singtel, and login with

In this advanced mode you have access to more advanced settings compared to the normal settings page. Probably only for Singtel staff to configure the router. Btw, the current Singtel firmware version on mine is 339.6.2-011. I have tried using UniFi with the stock firmware doesn’t seem to work, but might have missed something out.

So now, how do we get UniFi compatible firmware on this router? Quite simple, but we have to flash two different versions of firmware, first one is to allow us to flash any version of the Aztech firmware replacing the Singtel one and second, the UniFi compatible one. In order, the first firmware can be either Version 322.6s.2-009 or Version 322.6s.2-011, but second firmware will be the last one working for UniFi, Version 322.6s.3-003.

If you choose to follow this guide, please note you’re doing this at your own risk, will void any warranty on the device, and I’m not accountable if your router becomes bricked or turns into a killer robot that has laser beams.

1) Connect computer to router via ethernet cable, do not use WiFi. Go to 192.168.1.254, login and under Device administration, select Firmware Upgrade
2) Select the first firmware to flash, Version 322.6s.2-009 or Version 322.6s.2-011, and press upload. Do not power down the router, laptop, or disconnect the ethernet cable until loading bar shows 100%
3) Flash second firmware, Version 322.6s.3-003
4) Enter in your PPPoE username and password, set 802.1P Priority to 0
5) Set 802.1Q VLAN ID to 500
6) Enable IGMP Multicast Proxy under Advanced>Advanced Setup>WAN>(for current interface)Edit> IGMP Multicast Proxy

And you should be done! For some reason, I couldn’t find the strange routing problem that @soonwai encountered, but I created a static route to 1.0.0.0/8 just in case. Will still play around with this router and see if I discover anything new. So far, IPTV is untested yet but there is option for it, might have to create a new interface and everything. IPv6 needs more testing too.

As for my own setup, I repurposed my stock TP-Link router as a wired AP for my second floor. It works well enough to extend the range and cover the house in WiFi, ready for speed upgrade. Seller also gave me another older Singtel router DSL7002GRV(S) seems like this is only AC750 but still gigabit, might turn this into spare AP or switch. I'll try to get pics of both soon.

People seem to be complaining about firmware in another thread, good test though but the CPU is actually outdated, and by that i mean its ability to do hardware NAT for gigabit speeds is questionable, for example you can see with the asus AC68U and AC88U, broadcom's accelerated NAT solution wasnt very good but i suppose as an AP it might work . For 300Mb/s the CPU will work fine.

Your iperf test shows that it does up to 800Mb/s, try a full bidirectional test, as for 300Mb/s you actually need 600Mb/s of forwarding capacity assuming the new packages are fully symmetrical. I hope they will be.

Ya, Carousell is good place to start if you want to look for these. I'm surprised so many people know about this router now! I must also say thanks to Soonwai for documenting this router and it's capability well enough, else I wouldn't have bought it. I was looking for new AP, and was just checking Carousell when I come across these routers, did some research, and found this forum post.

Though, are you still on the Singtel firmware? If so, does the router work with UniFi? Else, my guide might be redundant..
Sadly no, still doing some research on this router, but seems like this model was custom made for Singtel themselves, so only Singapore firmware.. it has been documented on OpenWRT though. https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/aztech/aztech_...2grv_s#hardware

Maybe I'll just try key in my PPPoE username and password, plug it in and see if it works on the stock firmware, or not just use as a AP or switch.

Yep, no routing or NAT here. Of course, no way for me to test routing speed yet. So have to wait for Turbo 10x to come in first.

I plan to use as an AP so I was more interested in its wifi performance.

This is the config for UniFi. IIRC, it has vlans 400, 500, 600 all configured. Should be used with firmware v322.6s.3-003. Earlier also can I think.

Hi... got it working with Unifi? 003 firmware? Thanks.

Thanks bro, my router finally works!! Bravo!!!

However, there is one last thing to make my router perfect, which is my 5GHz turns into 20MHz channel instead of 80MHz, and I tried the method above, but I was stuck at the nc 1.1.1.2 23 step, since after telnet 192.168.1.254 48599, it asked for log in name and password, I tried admin admin and I got the connection but it shows error when I typed "nc 1.1.1.2 23", I'm wondering what is the step by step I should have done, and what method did you used to telnet? Windwos PowerShield or putty? Thanks ya!

So I just open telnet and

telnet 192.168.1.254
log-in:admin
pwd:admin
call_qcsapi_sockrpc --host 1.1.1.2 set_bw wifi0 80
reboot

Is the steps above correct? Sorry coz I not really know telnet well, gonna ask step by step ^^

I'm using it as router so gonna stuck in 003 firmware, it just turns into 20MHz if I change the channel, but no problem in 007 firmware. I wanna use 5G wifi as region AU, channel 104 bw 80MHz, I found this is the best range and power for this model, even better than channel 153 bw 80MHz region AU/US.

can't get ip address, and even manually set it still cannot ping to router. for wifi, the  password provided on the sticker cannot be use, even SSID is different.

UPDATE: it is working now after 30/30/30 reset, can access to Web UI and SSID and password on sticker works.
But i find it very hard to setup this router

added entries in Quick Setting Page but it gone after clicking save, after awhile when i load back my info is there,
but may i know how to connect? the connect button is non clickable button..really don't understand this UI
[attachmentid=10026475]

And in advance mode, trying to modify setting but getting following message, even reboot
[attachmentid=10026483]

Done with some of the settings, but still not working.
Anything i missed?

So the newest firmware confirm cannot use?
Is it safe to flash the firmware? I'm afraid i will bricked the device, lol.
how come they dare to sell something like this 

The internet is UP after flashed to .003 but IPTV still not working,
and having some issue with my wireless connection which 2.4ghz's signal is very weak and slow,
even 5ghz can reach my room on first floor, but speed also slower than my innacom rg4332 ....
what are the optimal settings for wireless?

For wireless, i use Singapore and channel 11, any different by using different region?
[attachmentid=10029452]
[attachmentid=10029453]
[attachmentid=10029454]

the 2.4ghz 's signal is very weak and unstable, even not far away from it, 5ghz seems works fine.
Isn't 2.4ghz has better range coverage than 5ghz??
