I have tplink with openwrt firmware installed, it has been more than a year now and has been very stable.

which model?

am currently using TL-WR1043ND v1.8. thinking of flashing openwrt on it. hypptv work perfectly right?

I've Archer C7, before you flash yours, do check with the openwrt wiki page and see if it is supported. I don't use hypptv since I'm on Maxis BB right now but I believe hypptv is connected directly to BTU?

Okay, thanks for the tip. It is supported as per @klseet website.

Definitely going to try it. Hypptv is connected to the router rather than BTU.

Ah, forgotten about it already, went to Maxis after my Unifi sub expired two years ago

are you purchased from OOKAS? Because I just bought a TP-Link WR841HP and having the same issue like you. The wireless connection is not stable at all and the hypp tv is having black screen. Most probably need to change to ASUS like you. Can I know the coverage of wireless for RT-N12HP? does it stable enough?

Hi guys. I have a noob question.

Does RT-N12HP have any specific version that support unifi? Or all RT-N12HP is unifi ready?

I want to buy RT-N12HP from lazada but none of them has 'Unifi ready' written in the description such as this asus rt-n12hP.

Can I simply buy any RT-n12HP or do i have to look for any specific version that can support unifi?

All ASUS router support Unifi, Maxis and TIME, unlikely others brand.

Thx.

After doing some research in the Internet, I have purchased the Archer C7. The performance is far better than the stock Unifi router and the price is cheap compared to the features, performance and range of the router. My final decision to go with Archer C7 was made after I read this review from wire cutter.... Here is the link http://www.thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wi-fi-router/

I think the problem is that the TL-WR841HP sold on Lazada (and maybe others) are the older hardware revision... V1 or V1.2; It seems that the new V2 is what you should get at this time...

3ping TL-WR841HP could be one of older hardware revision

archer is compatible with unifi? how your feeling after using it? very good? stable? wifi no constant breakage?

Aaron... Archer C7 very 2.0 is compatible with Unifi. Setting up is very easy but you have to know the userid and password of your Unifi account. This you can call up TM to get it.

FYI, I have sold the Archer C7 in a couple of weeks using it and I bought myself Asus RT-AC55UHP. Why? Because I need some features from the router that Archer C7 don't have or I simply don't know how to configure. Those features like parental controls, etc are more easier to setup through the friendly GUI that Asus router has.

As for coverage or signal quality, the Asus router I bought has the longest antenna I ever find on a router and that gives a very good coverage throughout the entire house, 2 storey with thick walls. The WiFi signal from the RT-AC55UHP can reach up to almost 100m where the is an open space in front of my house.

Setting up the router was very easy, the whole family is happy with the performance, and I can easily manage the router to filter or block or give access to any devices connected to it.

I am a happy camper....

Sorry, hijack the thread a little bit

Is the Asus RT-N12 D1 a good upgrade over the stock unifi router?

Currently having disconnection when i download at max speed at night
Connection seem fine is light usage thru out the day.
30mb unifi user
Budget limited

I just bought the Tp-link TL-WR1043ND to replace my stock unifi router.
1)Very stable compared to the Stock unifi especially when playing on line games
2)Longer range, can reach back room with still full bars.
3)Can connect a USB Hardisk and make it into a Network to share.
No more cabut pasang cabut pasang the USB HDD. Now it can be networked shared.
4)Faster Ethernet connection especially for media player.
5)Hyyptv works like it used too.

Dislikes
1)Set was new but already have someones unifi name and password inside not erased (!!!)
Is it factory standard or someone else have used the set?
2)After connecting first to the Laptop nothing happen, actually Windows will ask to whether to connect or not, if slow to ask means you will be wondering why no connection.
3)Set comes with CAT5 cables?..I was expecting at least CAT5e grade (latest stuff are the CAT6)
4) Android and iphong network sharing of the USB handisk is not as easy and download apps to start transfering files and viewing them.5) Inorder to take advantage of the gigabit, your minimum requirement cable is CAT5e and other components need to gigabit capable too. (no fault of TP-Link...its the system) So throw away those CAT5 cables and use CAT5e and CAT6.

If you want just basic Router with gigabit network (for streaming HD) and includes USB slot for networking, i think this is the cheapest (if not compared to the elcheapo Dlink brand)


Overall Satisfied.

I'm using this Asus RT-N12 D1 router, as an upgrade over the stock unifi router. I'm also a 30MB Unifi subscriber.

Am very happy with the router. No problems as of now. Really satisfied with it.

Thank you

Do we have choices other than TP-Link and Asus ?

Btw, Google is using TP-Link and Asus as their OEM partner for their OnHub.

Does it mean they are reliable

Just my 2 cents in this matter, (from someone who has used both TP-Link and Asus):
1) 1st TP-Link model: WR841ND
It was good and fast for the first 9 months, but after that the wireless signal keeps getting weaker, and always disconnect. I guessed that the 2.4 channels were getting crowded in my neighbourhood, so I changed to...
2) 2nd TP-Link: WR1043ND
Again, it was good in the beginning but later on, keeps getting hard to maintain the connection via wireless. Need to reset on a daily basis to maintain any sort of wireless connections.
3) 3rd Asus: RT-AC68U
Got this model at a very sweet price, while travelling overseas. So far, it has none of the issues that TP-Link have. And it runs cool and higher wireless speed too, plus Unifi settings comes by default even though I bought this model from overseas. Quite satisfied with the performance and stability.

Does hypptv work using asus router?
