Thanks man. Seems like Maxis is blocking it. Using Digi mobile and my other unifi can access it.

Thank guys for replying.
A bit noob here, seems to me that using third party DNS is fine however both of u using custom software/hardware to use third party DNS?
I am using default Maxis Kaon router and just change the DNS settings there only.

Using this router now. Seems like my MAcbook Pro and Nintendo having a hard time connecting to 5G band. Anyone experiencing the same?

What would be a good replacement router?

If you aim for good and reliable router, go with ASUS.
Same segment with your AR2140, you can consider ASUS RT-AX55 or RT-AX56U
I choose ASUS is because of it powerful, rich features, user friendly robust stock firmware. Beside, over the time ASUS do consistent provide firmware update for security batch.

Hi, I'm using Asus XT8 and it is directly connected to the Modem provided by Maxis (Huawei) but I would like to use the Maxis VOIP service but it requires me to use the main router, and I would not like to use the bridge or repeater option to my XT8 as the Maxis (AR2140) is quite unstable from time to time. Anyway to bypass it and use a different method to use VOIP function? Can't the maxis router be the repeater and have the VOIP function still????

I think you can do this?

Modem -> Asus -> Maxis

To forward, go to LAN -> IPTV (why did Asus even put it there)
if you selected Maxis Fibre profile it should say "VoIP LAN Port X"
connect your stock router to that port

and I think slight amount of configuring needs to be done to the stock router and it will work

Unable. My house Maxis is different, uses VID 11 instead of the others, So I had to put it under Manual and set it up myself.

Well , recently maxis upgrade my old maxis tplink router to this kaon media ar2140 wifi 6 router , ACTUALLY this isn't an UPGRADE but DOWNGRADE , very limited feature (I bet routers from a decade ago have more features than this crap)

Here's is the lacking features I faced :
-No IP&Mac binding option (for Wake On LAN over mobile network)
-No VPN integration
-No Fttp Server
-No DHCP Internet option (Bridge mode = brick mode )
- and many more , tell me at comments

HELLO now we already at 2021 , where privacy is a huge concern for a lot of people , THIS KAON ROUTER JUST SUCKS , LIKE REALLY SUCKS
... Other than wifi 6 and mesh , I really CAN'T think any more good about this router , I heard the installation guy say this router cost RM600, if it really sells at that msrp that's really a SCAM.. Look online RM600 can get you ROG or flagship kind of router , surely this Kaon router ISN'T...Now stick with my OLD ROUTER ( also from maxis but TP-Link makes it ) is definitely a BETTER option

I'm very disappointed for this wifi 6 router , advertised as LEADING EDGE TECHNOLOGY but LACKS the basic features. If planning to get maxis fiber consider one more time , or you need to pay extra to buy a good router...

This is just my guess but all those options could be hidden behind an admin/root account that we don't know

on the old TP-Link Archer c5v, there were 3 levels

user/user - basic, not much, can change wifi name and setup internet and that's about it

administrator/[serial number] - most know this, unlocks most but not all settings

MaxSysAdm/Ng88Mxs@2019! - the "ultimate" root account, has every setting possible on the router afaik.

The problem is getting said credentials for that top tier account for the new Kaon router

This should not be the way.

Router, many other people also called it RG (Resident Gateway)
Router act like your house gate to secure your house.

If firmware of the router can access by "Master" password, it is like giving the key to outsider.

Actually router record all your internet traffic, once people trap on it, all your traffic will be reveal.

Not sure what you mean there but the usual way is to

Modem -> Asus -> Maxis for voip

Wifi would be disabled on the maxis.
As well as other unneeded parts

If you want direct modem voip sadly can't.

I mean how did you configure the maxis router? It only has 2 mode which is router mode and repeater (Repeater mode will disable the VOIP function). Plus my asus router needs to manually configure to VID 11, other settings does not work for me. I have yet to try Maxis Fibre Special but i'll try once I got home. But is it really possible to run the AR 2150 Kaon router directly from the asus router as IPTV? Won't it try to connect the Wan itself under IPTV mode and make the XT8 disconnect from the Wan? Plus have you try this method before?

I need solutions for my router.... Can't do it when Maxis is locking everything down.
