Singtel ONT or ONR is using vlan tagging, you might to configure the vlan for your tp router for it work. See url for instructions. Otherwise Singtel might hard coded  your old router mac address, you need to call singtel to remove the old router mac address and add in your new router mac address.

m1 also does that mac address tagging i think.

I haven't rebooted my modem or router for many years.

I am not sure why so many people have to reboot so many times.

I will only do it when MIL visit and doing something important

and suddenly signal just disappear!

you got the tp link ax5400 locally or from taoabao?

the price is of big difference.

Any difference to the coverage when using the tp link?

 I presume the ax5400 is connect after the Singtel modern ? Is not a replacement to it.

Now using the singtel mesh router and the coverage is so so.

Thanks.

I recontracted with StinkTel. supposed to get a Mesh extender, but they (stated in the agreement) gave me a WiFi 6 router instead. Counter staff told me contract stated router, could not change. Really WTF!

I replaced my old router (using same WiFi name and password) but many devices did not connect. I won't go through the trouble of reconnecting 20 plus devices. So the new router ended up back in the box.

Most simple smart home devices connect only on 2.4ghz channel. So maybe your router isn't broadcasting on both 2.4ghz and 5.0 ghz. 

I'm guessing that's what happened. But yeah lah, reconnecting everything individually is a time sink.

You can connect most legacy devices onto Most AX routers. Or just buy a usb wireless-N dongle which should only cost like <6 dollars.

I suspect you connected the modem to a wrong port of the router.
