I managed to set the maxis router to bridge mode and my custom router is working fine now. I am able to access Internet etc through my customer router.

What if I want to access my maxis router, how do i do it ? When I plug in my laptop directly to the maxis router, 192.168.1.254 cannot be reached and I'm getting 169.254.x.x IP address on my laptop. I've also disabled the wifi radio on the maxis router.

I see. I didn't set it before enabling bridge mode. Looks like I'm locked out. I guess it's ok as i won't be needing to enter this router anymore as my Deco router is handling the internet. The Maxis is used just for voice and it's working fine in this bridge setup.

Update 1st Feb 2020:
Managed to login into the Maxis router through cable by manually configuring a static IP address on my notebook. Once in, I enabled the second IP address and set it to 169.254.0.1. It's easier now to login into the Maxis router without needing to manually configure static IP each time. Thanks for the great tip! Btw, I also turned off firewall.


Now if anyone knows the login/password for the TM btu Fiberhome model AN5506-04-BG? If I can configure the VoIP on the btu, it would be awesome just like how you all did on your Huawei and I can then get rid of the Maxis router.
