Have you setup your user Name and password in the account settings for TP Link, the original Maxis router already saved this information in its settings.

Was using the AX20 on Maxis before.

Easy set up.

1. LAN2 from BTU to AX20 WAN port.
2. Power up the AX20 and connect via WiFi.
3. Perform a Quick Setup and select the Maxis profile.
4. Enter the username and password from Maxis.
6. Save and reboot.

Done.

TM modem : Huawei Echolife HG8240H
MAXIS Router : aminia DL4480V1

Yes

Not for me
Everytime i do that despite turn on/off modem/router, resetting the router cant get led on tplink turn green, means i cant get internet connection directly from modem

Go into your old router and check the VLAN. Make sure the vlan is set correctly on the TP-Link router. Maxis have different VLAN for TM's infra and maxis own infra.

ax20 change to BRIDGE MODE

TS wants to remove stock router so no bridge mode here.

1st of all, make sure you're connecting to the same port as the stock router used, if it used LAN 1, reuse LAN 1, if it used LAN 2, reuse LAN 2

On the setup page enter your PPPoE credentials correctly.

If you're on public IP, try adding a 1 to the end of the password.

Then if you're on LAN 2 your VLAN ID should be for the Maxis - Unifi profile which uses VLAN 621

If you're using LAN 1 on Maxis infrastructure it should be VLAN 11

Tq..will try setting up the vlan on ax20, noted as 621 in original router..anyhow im currently using ax20 as an wifi extender maybe at the moment by hooking it to LAN port on the original to the WAN port on my ax20 and somehow just now got notice in pubg mobile connection terminated due to a data error with ur client, never happen before..im not doing something consider illegal right? I mean by using my ax20 as some sort of wifi extender/secondary access point?

could be your vlan tagging wrong .


##For Maxis Fibre on TM (HSBB) Infrastructure
VLAN VID `621` #for internet (PPPoE)
`822` #for VoIP/SIP
`821` #for TM management network (Maxis Fibre using TM infrastucture)
`823` #for Broadband TV/IPTV service

##For Maxis Fibre on Maxis Infrastructure
VLAN VID `11` #for internet (PPPoE)
`14` #for VoIP/SIP
`6` #for Maxis management network (Maxis's own fibre infrascructure)
`17` #for Broadband TV/IPTV service

Sorry sifu, need to ask ah, the username and password are from Maxis call centre?

Yeah you could ask Customer Service for

Alternatively dig around the stock router, see if you can find anything like "XXXXXX@home.maxis.com.my, which is your username, the password would be what the X are

After the installation for the first time, u should have a piece of paper. Inside has the username and password. If not, u have to contact Maxis and do a verification to obtain the username and password.

Thanks bro.
Sorry one more question, my room is at the back of the house and the speed is not strong.
The modem and router are in living room. Speed is about 49Mbps
But in the room, the speed drop to 13Mbps.
If I use this third party router, will it increase the speed in the room?

U will need a mesh router. Look for TP-Link Deco M4 or M9. Can start with a 3 pack first.

Thanks bro. Appreciate your help

Tried as above but still cant use ax20 as primary modem

may i know where you plugged in from modem BTU to which port of router
