1. LAN2 from BTU to your 3rd party router's WAN port.
2. Power up the router and connect via WiFi.
3. Perform a Quick Setup and select the Maxis profile.
4. Enter the pppoe username and password from Maxis.
6. Save and reboot.

I've done the same using the old PPPoE password but still not able to connect Internet, would it be help if I get a new PPPoE password from Maxis? Or else what should I do?

The VLAN ID was preset as 621

how was the original setup?

there could be a small chance you are on Maxis Own Infra

in which case try
LAN1 port
VLAN ID 11

also, does your PPPoE password end in 1? if no, try adding a 1 to the end of it, or removing the 1 if it has it already

Original setup from Maxis router is using VLAN ID 621.
Switching back to maxis router then Internet is back to connection.

In AX20 quick setup, im using Maxis 1 preset profile for VLAN ID621. other remains, what's goes wrong ya? The Internet light is just yellow

Hmm that should work

the username is something like [ID]@home.maxis.com.my right?
and to confirm the router is connected from LAN2 of the Modem provided by TM to WAN of the tplink

My AX20 was setup for unifi previously and just transfer to Maxis. But anyway it has quick setup to Maxis setting.

Or do I need to reset my AX20 router because of this?

Change to maxis profile at the VLAN/IPTV settings and change the PPPOE username and password.

Hi can I use Tp-Link ER605 as router to replace the default Wifi 6 Router for Maxis Fiber and then connect to Tp-Link Deco X60 for my wifi networking.

That's a weird combination, why ER605 if you are not using Omada AP? sweat.gif

Just directly Deco X60 will do.

I don't recommend using Deco on AP mode as you lose all the roaming, AP steering smoothness.

Deco series prefer to operate on router mode for optimal performance.

This is because the Deco X60 only have 2 LAN port which I have to use switch if I want to add LAN connection.

Right now my Maxis Fiber Router (downstair home office) connected to LAN
1. My PC
2. NAS
3. Switch for Printer
4. DECO X60 (main) Upstairs in*AP mode

Then DECO X60 (main) to
1. TL-SG108E (1) - TV & NVIDIA Shield
2. DECO X60 Living Room

DECO X60 Living Room to
1. TL-SG108E (2) to PS4, ASTRO & TV

Already turn off Wifi function on my Maxis Fiber Router and 2.4ghz on my DECO X60 (just using 5ghz).
If I change the Deco mode to router, do I need to change the Maxis router to Bridge mode, and if so will the DECO protect my NAS and PC which are connected directly to the Maxis Router?

You basically delete the Maxis router and replace it with the Deco
That would be the best option

You could probably reuse it as a switch if you disable all the functions
