Hi all,

Maxis installer came to my house few days back and replaced my old TP-link C5v with theEX230v. Previously, i used the router as bridgemode, simple to mantain the VoIp and remote management, which for the internet, i use my own asus router. However, with the new maxis router, i'm unable to change the internet setting to bridge mode.

has anyone able to do it on the same router model? Or maybe someone able to get through a back door or have supoervisor password for the router. Appreciate your feedback on this.

Thanks.. Managed to make the bridge mode work after using the MaxSysAdm credential.. And yes, the installer took away the old tplink router without my knowledge. Unfortunately, i did not get the installer number as he called me using my sons phone at the time.

This is the setup that i have managed to do, after enabling the bridge mode.

Modem -> TP-Link (with 4G dongle) -> Asus

Reason for using bridgemode is to enable the 4G backup sim that originally came with my maxis fiber service. Not able to plug in my dongle directly to Asus router due to restriction doneon the dongle itself.

On another note, i thought of using the supplied TP-link with an AX23 to do the easymesh. Unfortunately, the coverage and performace of the mesh node is so bad that i had to revert back to using Asus again. Even without the AI mesh node, the asus router coverage and performance is so much better than EX210 + AX23 combined..

Tried that before, unfortunately, it didn't work with my Asus. Anyway, I'm happy with the current setup. At least the VoIP still also works when i shutdown the modem.
