Standard issue router have remote access default enable.
Either you disable it or change to after-market router

I've only been using this router for the 1st day of installation, or maybe once in a while to troubleshoot stuff
So not noticing anything...

Tried with username of MaxDNSPrUsr and the !!bestHOME!!XX password?
Unless maxis changed their password format again via a remote firmware upgrade

Yes including that one. But the other router with version LG8245X6-10, I can access it using that particular credentials.

No the maxis router still in router mode, not bridge mode that way it won't use any internet but still remain the VOIP phone function.

You don't have to do that. Your Asus router have full functionality, configuration as follows:



LAN1 IPTV VLAN 823
LAN2 INTERNET VLAN 621
LAN3 INTERNET VLAN 621
LAN4 VOIP VLAN 822

Whichever port for what purpose, just fill in the VLAN number, (I don't use voip):

Also, for Maxis Kaon AR2140, I would recommend you go to management and change the password and disable TR-069 remote management.

Hi guys. Sorry if its a silly question but maxis Kaon router has no antenna. Would getting a tplink archer wifi 6 ax 73 router help with wifi coverage in a 2 story house? Also, currently on 500mbps package but only getting 150-200mbps on wifi downstairs. (I downgraded from 800mbps because wifi speed was nowhere near.

Again, would getting that TPlink router help with speed as well?

Setting up mesh routers will be better in this case.

Buy Asus or tplink mesh router. And the position of your mesh router also very important

I disable the WPS from the admin page - but i think it still looking for Mesh to connect - it keeps blinking.

i can't see any option to disable mesh - but i think should be safe - it is inside the house and i only use WIFI from ASUS connected to the Kaon router via LAN.

KAON wifi both 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz is disabled - just irritating OCD see that WPS keep blinking ... lol ....

Hi,
I was previously using Asus RT-AX86U for my UniFi and this Kaon sucks in terms of WiFi range and stability. How do you connect your Asus to the Kaon modem? Using the Asus as an Access Point or Bridge?

Can we reverse the connection & use Asus as the main router and Kaon connected to it for the VOIP? Thank you.

I managed to do it.
My main router is Asus tuf-ax3000 and the Kaon is only meant for the house phone line.
Check back your asus router which port is set for voip. Mine is port 3. I can't recall any special setting is require for the kaon but maybe you can try with default setting 1st.
Connect the Kaon Wan port to the asus router voip port.
Hopefully it work for you.

Thank you.

I set the VLAN in LAN4 of Asus to 822. Do I need to do any settings on the Kaon?
