sorry to ask this as this tread very long..

I am with Singtel Fibre, and the PACE wireless is not strong for my home.

1) Can I use the N56u to directly replace the pace device?
2) Is the N56u coverage strong (My place is a 2 level and the router will be at the lower lever corner)
3) Beside N56u, any other model that is popular now?

I am getting the same issue with my Asus N56U router and SingTel 300 Mbps plan.

Am checking with the forum if there is a fix or we should just get an AC router to fully benefit from the 300Mbps plan and speed from SingTel
Asus n56u? This router is not as the best as what I heard. They have N66U which is crazy.

Hi, realise that my mio voice is not working. CAn I clarify on what are the ports that have to be plugged?

Connect phone cable to pace. Then pace use Ethernet cable plugged into which port of pace and then other end plugged to which port of 56u?

Then on 56u which port takes in mio tv and which port goes mio voice?

Hi,

I had a black color ONT from Singtel and did the following setup :

TP-> ONT -> ASUS RT-N56U

I am unable to get any internet connection between ONT and the router, the LAN1 light on the ONT is not lighted up. However, when i connect the ONT back to the router from Singtel, the LAN1 light lighted up and have internet connection.

Anyone can tell me what i did wrong ?

Thanks

You cannot get it to work this way.
ONT can only work with the singtel router that is provided, and your top-end asus router should hook up via the typical lan port on the singtel router ie. aztech/2wire.

Just got the RT-N56U, works fine with my ZTE ONT. I used the quick setup and changed the settings to Other ISP which is the last option. Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.374_979, this is the firmware version.

Rubbish. Please do not make statements that are not right and misleading.

Updated firmware

Hi all,

Just bought Asus rt-66u today, already update the firmware from Asus, do I need to install 3rd firmware like padavan? Mio tv able to watch but wireless seems like no constant.
I have selected Singtel-Others preset since I don't have Mio Voice.

Appreciate your kind advise.

I managed to get 2 MIOtv STBs working on my asus n56u using latest Padavan firmware.

My setup looks like this

ONT
|
Asus N56U
|---->lan port 1 not in use
|---->lan port 2 not in use
|---->lan port 3----> Miotv STB 1 ( living room)
|---->lan port 4----> home plug---->home plug----> Miotv STB 2 ( MBR )

there are 2 issues however and I was hoping someone was able to help me out. I tried turning on both set top boxes on different channels for some time. both seems to be working fine and able to change channels.

problem 1) when turning on both set top box there will be a lag ( video and audio stutter for a moment) before everything goes back to normal. sometimes need to change channels before they go back to normal.

problem 2) whenever I turn off 1 of the STBs, the other one will be disconnected. however, this can be solved by making it go to standby and ON again on the affected STB. there is no reconnecting like when u plug out the adapter. it turns on instantly and from then on I can watch normally. problem will happen only when 2 STBs are ON at the same time and 1 of them is turned off.

I wouldn't consider this a major problem as I think that I am heading in the right direction and at least I don't have to rely on the Pace router or a switch just because I have 2 STBs. however, it would be ideal if I can eliminate these small issues and would appreciate any form of guidance.

I am not very well versed in this area and I apologise if my explanation is hard to understand

Bro, care to share your settings in padavan? I am trying to set my n56u up for internet and 2x mio tv stb as well but can only get 1 box working. :s11:

MioTV not working

Hi all,

I have the following connections:
ONT
|
Asus N56U
|---->lan port 1 not in use
|---->lan port 2 not in use
|---->lan port 3----> 2Wire 5012NV (Mio Voice)
|---->lan port 4----> Gigabit switches (MioTV + PCs + Media players + NAS)

My MioTV isn't working even though I have chosen Singtel Mio preset. However, all my other devices connected to port 4 is able to get connected to Internet.

Anyone has any idea what went wrong? Can port 4 be used this way?
TIA!

Have you tried making Port 4 dedicated to MioTV? I have encounter this once at my friends place and that's how we solve it. Switch your Gigabit Switch to Port 1 / 2.

Cheers.

Check the App help, there should be a port that need to be in the firewall forward list.

Thanks to all for creating this preset for MIO Fibre users.


SIngtel, are you reading this thread. I don't mind paying more for a better modem. Can you give us the options?

Can this setup be done on RT-AC68U model? Thanks.

Easyly bro, for 68u..
I used Merlin Fw.. there is a Singtel preset.
infact on 56u, stock firmware also had Sintel preset.

Once u change to Asus router, just make sure u had copy down ur Mac address from the old router provided by Singtel and paste it in Asus router..

Best router I ever had..
