I bought this router to use OpenWRT. Hopefully somebody finds a way to flash it, otherwise it's a bad buy 😅
You can find older official firmware on their website. But not sure you can downgrade it or not. Then only flash openwrt. (I supposed. I don't own X5000R. Use it at your own risk.)

Recently bought totolink T10, found out if I off IPTV option, it won’t connected to internet unless set it On. Anyone encounter this problem.
It is normal because our telco Malaysia like Unifi,Digi Fibre,Maxis Fibre,Celcom fibre have Vlan tagging related with IPTV if IPTV not turn on cannot access internet.That is normal for your totolink T10
Like Unifi internet vlan is 500 and IPTV is 600,Maxis Fibre by using TM Modem internet is 621 and IPTV is 823,final Maxis Fibre using by Maxis modem internet is 11 and IPTV is 17.
You can use either user define or unifi mode to set with your Totolink T10.
or
If maxis choose maxis mode.

These look a little bit outdated I should update the details Malaysia Telco Vlan tagging
Many people enquiry how to install Totolink Wifi 6 AX1800 X6100UA USB Adaptor,so i found have people review and show us how to install,language is Chinese mix with Malay.

TOTOLINK X5000R. Dont worry about your warranty. They wont even know what fw is on the router if your router is fried. They will just replace with a new one. If it is a software issue, just flash back original FW.

Are u sure?You go to Totolink service centre and he said like that?
When you plug wifi receiver N found blue screen and no need panic and solution is go to login router to change Wireless encrytion to WPA/WPA 2 Personal because Wifi 6 Router cause WPA3 encrytion cause blue screen
Above Pic mentioned you buy Totolink X5000R,X6000R and 2pcs EX1800L can form mesh wifi.
If you buy two pcs Totolink X5000R(AX1800)or X6000R(AX3000)router also can form mesh wifi.
If you buy two pcs EX1800L(AX1800) cannot form mesh wifi at least you buy either one router Totolink X5000R(AX1800) or X6000R(AX3000)then can form mesh wifi.
If buy two pcs EX1800L(AX1800),one can do access point and another one do range extender/wifi repeater mode.
We suggest to use Windows10/11 because it stable Operating System but for Windows 7 also can support and you key in Realtek 8832AU Wireless LAN WiFi 6 USB NIC.I saw got support Windows 7.
One day I go to customer house at GCB Court to do Totolink X6000R WiFi 6 AX3000 router settings and we use lan cable speed test got these result because customer Internet Speed 300Mbps.
