小米AIoT路由器 AX3600

Looks like this is a dead end for me. I certainly do not want an addition device in the house.

Is vlan absolutely required for all HFC type or it is up to the ISP themselves?

Up to the ISP.

Last time Starhub had vlan for internet and voice for its cable online network.

BTW, just found out M1 used to use vlan for voice as well last time on the fibre network.

Majority Australia ISPs do not seem to require vlan, but some do.

That being said, what issues did you encounter when following the guide? Were you able to have access to /etc/network file using scp?

If you can do ssh/scp and indeed you can change a lot of things with openwrt.

The easiest way out is to switch an ISP that does not use vlan and just my good luck to pick one that uses it when my router does not.

I wish both the ISPs and hardware manufacturers also make important info like that clear and upfront or else people like me that know nothing will get into a jam like this.

Anyway, many thanks Xiaofan for your inputs.

I hope this router can work for my setup?

On StarHub fibre. I do not have digital voice.
Current setup ONT PORT 1 to old Xiaomi router.

If laptop direct connect to ONT. I am also able to get an IP and surf directly.

Looking to increase the coverage from my old Xiaomi router 3 Pro

Of course it will work.

The only exception is SingTel ONT users where AX3600 will not work as the main router.

Xiaomi also knows that AX3600 is ugly.

actually I find it ok. 99% of bigger router has better performance due to heat and antenna. It’s an educated taste for router for me.

How do you access the configuration page of the xiaomi ax3600 after installation, iPhone is saying that using wpa2(tkip) is not secure enough

After meddling for a while and managed to get into the router.

For vlan 100, I was not sure it was suppose to be eth0.100 or eth1.100.
So I tried both and miracle happened. It got connected with eth1.100 after configuring the static ip details given by the ISP.

However, there are still issues. Some websites wouldn't load such, the speedtest websites, even hardwarezone forum won't load too.

I tried different DNS, results were the same.

So you have made some progress. That is good.

Does the problem limit to your laptop? Or it affects all your device?

It affects all device including the mobile.I don't think are the devices because they all worked when on ADSL connection.

I reckon there are some troubles with certain data routing causing time out that sort.

 

[davidwong]

Wow good progress keep at it bro you will be helping a lot of bros who are in singtel

yea thats what some people here experienced when following the video. the difference is that the video is for pppoe connections while ours is dhcp (IPoE).

Interesting.

One possible troubleshooting method is to check all the major network related files like /etc/config/network, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolve.conf, etc.

I give up and switched ISP and immediately getting 107.25 / 38.29 for a 100/40 plan.
Look like the router is awesome and next step is to form a mesh with 2 of them.

 

[Nakedtoes]

So this router worth to change from asus ac68U? If got wifi 6 phone is the speed better? but if intend to downgrade from 1GB to 500mbps then not worth to switch router liaoz

eth1 is the WAN port on AX3600. For Singtel vlan 10. Those who have managed to open up SSH, try editing /etc/config/network and lower the mtu for WAN to 1496.

/etc/config/network

config interface 'wan'
option proto 'dhcp'
# option mtu '1500'
# option ifname 'eth1'
option mtu '1496'
option ifname 'eth1.10'

/etc/config/network

1496 is better?

 

[snowwolf13]

1496 is better?

The max frame size for the switch is 1518. This is just enough for a typical 1500 MTU size plus Ethernet overhead. With VLAN tag, it adds 4 bytes which makes it larger than the frame size of 1518. Small packets like ping (icmp),dns, etc will work but larger packets will not make it through. So you will need to lower the MTU for WAN.

Did a brief test and was able to run speedtest and browse hardwarezone.
