Thank you very much. Finally figured out thanks to your tip. Maxis is sneaky.

I’ve successfully gotten it working on my computer just like you to verify it. Then changed the setting on my ASUS AC86U stock firmware via web GUI.

And everything works as it should, simulated by turning off the modem.

What motivated me to do this was that Maxis fiber was really down and the dongle not working is irritating since I’ve got ASUS AiMesh setup for my home.

EDIT: don’t need to unlock one lah. But I think if you abuse this backup dongle Maxis will banhammer it.
