Just accepted the offer from TM for SWU, 500Mbps to 1Gbps (RM159). Free 6 months bill. Speed will revert back to 500Mbps after 2 years.
For the new 1Gbps plan, can I use my existing router (Asus RT-AX86U). I've been using this router for the past 4 years without any problem. Current setup is zte onu connected to asus router.
The telemarketer person said that technician will come to my house to change the router
If I'm not mistaken, the new setup will be onu+router in one box, isn't it?
You can continue using the old ONU.
However you can also ask the technician to setup the new ONU+Router as normal.
THEN save the configuration of the new router into a PC or your phone.
Then you can ask them to convert the new Router as a bridge and connect to your Asus router.
In this case, you can use either the old ONU or the new Router (Bridge).
In case of your Asus router failure, you can even convert the new bridge back to Router. Then get new Asus router and convert the new Router back to bridge.
So the new router can become sort of a backup than can serve as a bridge to your Asus router or reverted back to standalone router ONU.
