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?

I tried, TQ. Gave up. Forced to use the Kaon as main router.

Hi

Thanks to all the Sifu's here, I finally managed to set my Asus as the main router and Kaon as the Access Point for the VOIP.

1) Tagging VLAN in Asus RT-AX86U

If Maxis is using UniFi Infrastructure:

ISP Profile: Maxis-Fiber
VLAN : VOIP
Port: LAN3

2) Disable the DHCP Server for both IPv4 & IPv6
- to prevent Kaon Router from accessing the internet,

3) Disable TR069
- to prevent Maxis Support from changing the master ID & password, settings &/or updating the firmware remotely,

4) Disable WiFi Radio
- to avoid clashes of WiFi signals with the Asus router, and

5) Connect Ethernet Cable from the Asus LAN3 port to the Kaon WAN port

Thank you very much
