That F710 subscription is such a joke

RM9 X 24 = 216

Can get one off shopee for like rm153 ish
Or other shops are around 179

There is this thread but it is for Maxis Fiber, probably can still use some info there, but substitute for TM's info
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5243640

But Anime4000 did change to Unifi recently so maybe it's time for a new guide?

So recently got this whatsapp
the service they are referring to in the whatsapp is my grandparents place
they only have plain old fashioned landline telephone only, no internet

It's not actually incidents of cable theft, just monkeys playing around on the cables and causing damage

Do I have to take any action or can I just ignore this message?

I think this pricing is for areas with Maxis Own Infrastructure, where they do not ride on TM's Network

Asus doesn't make professional tier hardware (well there is ExpertWiFi series but it doesn't really count)

Your best bet is an independent 3rd party 2.5Gbps modem connected to the 2.5Gbps port of your Asus router to fully take advantage of a 2Gbps subscription
(Similar to your current setup except with 2.5Gbps ports)

Since, it's quite disappointing that TM did not provide one and instead gave an all in one dlink
I believe Maxis does, but the usual Maxis on TM Infra downsides apply
And also price differences since you're getting free speed upgrade from TM

Also refer to Anime4000's Ditch ONU thread

I like ADM, Advanced Download Manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dv.adm

I think it's real that there was a intentional speed cap, just that they stopped doing it in the recent years, so new sign ups get expected speeds
Disclaimer: Based on personal observations and guessing

You can find many old posts of Maxis Fiber 30Mbps plans only getting a consistent 28Mbps despite using LAN cable and everything

A relative of mine is still on 30Mbps Maxis and it never exceeds 28Mbps

I'm sure there's others here that also have similar experience

Contact them with a GOOD reason and provide proof of said reason
They will come ONSITE to verify your needs before approving the public ip for you

That's just an excuse, we should be given it even if we use it less

The real reason is simply GPON is asymmetrical, with 2.4Gbps down and 1.2Gbps max on a fiber line

Still though, they could have offered half and not like 800/200

No, I don't work for any isps

If we look over at Maxis's offering of the 2Gbps plans, they are giving a (rebranded by local company?) Skyworth 2.5Gbps ONU


So, maybeeeeee TM customers will get that as well?

It's in the terms and conditions / privacy policy that no one reads

How else would they get a database of phone numbers and names
With that said, for whoever that wants to opt out and unlist yourself from Truecaller

Is this a fresh new from the box RT AX53U?

Factory preloaded firmware has broken PPPoE

Please manually download latest firmware from Asus site then manually install the update
Then afterwards it should be fine

Source: used to use said router, sold it off later on

you are not supposed to reuse old hardware, since provisioning is based on the details of the ont as far as I know (serial number, ploam credentials)
Im surprised the huawei even worked at all and they didnt disable it after you got the dlink

it is very frustrating that tm gave that crappy dlink, while also making it that you are not intended to replace it / use your own device either

you got a few options
1. use dlink
2. use dlink, connect asus via lan and disable wifi on dlink
cons
double nat
max speed of roughly 940mbps
3. get your current setup working but it will also get about 940mbps due to gigabit lan port limitation
4. replacement onu stick from Anime4000 on this forum, with 2.5g ports so you can get true 1gbps and also be future ready for 2gbps

i suppose you could try copying details from the dlink to the huawei
or contact tm

Factory resetting it to default mayyyyyyyy work as the device will probably request and get sent the configuration from the server via TR069/CWMP

But not sure if it needs more configuration manually or not

You could check the signal strength on the modem

Fiber splicing requires expensive hardware, so... probably contact TM

No, if you login to the modem (not router) there is usually a section somewhere to check fiber reading

It should be a negative number like -18dBm

-25 to 28 ish is considered bad

it depends on the ISP and modem, im not sure for TM but some models were really complicated to get into

for Huawei ones, root/adminHW or telecomadmin/admintelecom may be worth a shot trying
or try and google and see if it some other password was ever mentioned in the forums

also the modem doesn't have DHCP enabled so you will need to assisgn yourself a static ip

I think there are also youtube videos out there on how to login to unifi provided modems

Ok so

Firstly, you have a modem, should be the one without WiFi antennas, and usually a white box, Huawei fiberhome ZTE Nokia Alcatel branded

Then you got the router, could be TP-Link D-Link fiberhome and other brands

Factory reset the deco and

Connect LAN cable from LAN1 of MODEM to a port on the deco

Setup Deco and select PPPoE mode
Ask TM for the username and password

Then, tap on VLAN SETTINGS
and select Malaysia TM Unifi

Then continue

It is not as simple as plug and play

It would be helpful if you send photos of your setup as well in case you messed up any connections
