How to setup Digi Home Fibre with TP-Link AX6600 router

TP-Link AX6600 - Digi Home Fibre Setup Guide

I'm putting this up as a reminder for myself just in case I reset my router to factory settings.

If you've found this useful please let me know in the comments below.

  


Step 1.

Login to your router via 192.168.0.1









Step 2.

Follow the quick setup wizard

i) Select your timezone









ii) Select the WAN port *default is 2.5G but makes no difference because here max is 800mbps









iii) Select PPPOE
















iv) Key in your Digi Home Fibre username and password
***PRO tip***
Username is usually formatted like this "YourFullName@digi.home.tm"
Example aliahmad@digi.home.tm
Password is usually formatted like this "Digi123" or "Digi234" or "Digi345" and so on...etc
If you still have your installer handphone contact him and he could assist you. I know mine did.










Step 3.

THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP TO CONNECT SUCCESSFULLY

Click on the "Special ISP Settings IPTV/VLAN" word below your username and password

Select "Custom"

And key in

Internet VLAN ID: 629 <--- This is crucial or else no connection. The rest is just for fun.

Internet VLAN Priority: 0

802.1Q Tag Checked

VoIP VLAN ID: 2

VoIP VLAN Priority: 1

IPTV VLAN ID: 3

IPTV VLAN Priority: 2

IPTV Multicast VLAN ID: 1492

IPTV Multicast VLAN Priority:3

Enable IPTV Multicast VLAN Checked

LAN1: Internet

LAN2: Internet

LAN3: Internet

1G LAN: Internet

Then click Next






















Step 4

Set your WIFI SSID and password











Step 5

Click next and wait for the router to save all the settings

If all is good you should be able to view the dashboard as below.










Optional step just to make sure telco is not ripping you off and you can actually obtain the bandwitdh you are paying for.

Visit https://st.digi.com.my and do a speed test










Cheers if you've made it all the way. Thanks for your time spent here going through this guide.

I decided to upload it because it was a long shot from what I expected to find from Google. Some of the information here is from community.digi.com.my such as the VLAN ID.

Hopefully, Digi or TP-Link could be more responsible to provide this type of easy guide in the future as this doesn't really require any advance technical skills just almost anyone who can understand English could do just as well.

Hi I am in the process of configuring the AX73 router from TP-link. Before going into the web-based site do I need to connect the router to the computer first with an ethernet cable?

yes definitely, you could configure using any wifi device which has web browser too. Just that it might take more time to reconnect back when your wifi name has been change or when the router is rebooting.

@Skywalker, if you've already keyed in the correct VLAN ID then better check your PPPOE username and password. If any of those are incorrect you wouldn't be able to get online...You can try to contact your installer, if you don't have your installer's contact number then try contacting Digi Helpline.

I'm using Digi Fibre as well. Bought the AX6600. I can't connect to the net though. Which port did you connect from the modem to router?

Hope this helps... I spent 5 reckless and desperate days looking and trying to connect them... and boy when you succeed it's such a payoff. I've successfully connected 2 laptops via wifi, 3 pcs via cable, and 1 CCTV Dvr via cable on my primary router. 2 laptops via wifi, 1 network printer, 2 pcs, and 1 CCTV DVR all via cable on my secondary router. I was in despair when the computer store salesman told me that the D-link 2640T WDS function was not usable and access points for wireless bridging are not in production anymore... Until I found this manual for another model that has the same web management for D-link 2640T. Feel free to download and use it. Below are a few steps for preparation and other settings that are not included in the manual to speed things up before configuring your router. Follow the steps below. The best way is to use 2 sets of PCs and configure them at the same time, save you time and headaches...HAHA... 1. Prepare both your primar...
