Decided to start this thread where everyone can consolidate their knowledge on this relatively new product.
Aztech product page: http://www.aztech.com/prod_fiber_FG7003.html
1) Gateway is accessible at 192.168.1.254
2) Advanced gateway is accessible at 192.168.1.254/singtel. that's what I call it... (I was told by the technician not to share the pwd. but it is readily available in this forum if you search hard enough. otherwise, pm one of us and try your luck)
2.1) As posted by kahhiang, if you have the newer modem, the -J variant, please follow the following:
Advanced gateway: 192.168.1.254/Singtel (note the capital S)
User Name: tech
P/W: T3ch_L0g1n
3) As told by the technician, VPN does not work (I didn't try)
4) I found out myself (through a painful process) that any IP assigned to 192.168.1.196 to 192.168.1.203 will have problem with the DNS server. You won't be able to access any website if you type in the URL. but if you type in the specific IP address, you're fine. (Please help confirm if you're able)
UPDATE: various users report that this range is reserved for miotv
5) the 2.4G band can transmit up to 300Mbps if you enable channel bonding. Otherwise, it's 144Mbps by default only. To enable, you need to go into advanced gateway and go under 2.4G advanced settings and change Bandwidth to 20/40 Mhz
6) The channel bonding on 5GHz is more scrappy. To enable 80Mhz bandwidth you need to make sure the 5G channel you select has the "/80" behind. Meaning to say, if you're on channel 40, your channel selection should appear as "40/80". Otherwise, you'll be on 20 or 40 MHz only. To change, go under advanced gateway Home network-> WLAN ->5G -> advanced settings. FIRST change the bandwidth to '80MHz on 5G', THEN select your channel. It should have the 'xx/80' now. Save the settings. After saving, you'll see the bandwidth selection change back to '20MHz' but it is actually 80MHz. Aztech claims to be able to support up to 1300Mbps. But my adapter can only go up to 867Mbps, which it's what I am seeing.
7) This device supports 3 guest network per band, making a maximum of 4 networks per band, or 8 if you consider both bands. I am not sure if you can enable QoS on these guest networks as I never played with them. To enable them, find them under advanced gateway.
8) Port forwarding is relatively easy. To do so, I recommend to set a static IP first. Go to the normal gateway site, and create a static IP under 'Home Network Configuration'. It's under these 3 fields titled 'Manual devices reserve'.
After you have set a static IP, go to 'Firewall Configurations' at the top, and select 'Port forwarding' at the sub menu. From here, Interface = INTERNET. Server Name you can use a preset or custom. I usually use custom.
9) It was reported by various users that there is no bittorrent client on this singtel variant. I can't find any such feature myself either.
10) If you have problems mapping a network drive from a Synology NAS, try turning off the QoS service on the router...
Pls contribute if you know anything too!
