tbh, I flashed my c1200 to aus firmware to avoid the "suffix @unifi" thing. The boot time does improve by 2% ONLY. Yesterday when I was having free time, i updated the firmware of the router to the latest version of aus firmware (before this using an older version of the firmware of aus). I must say, after upgrade, the situation even gets worse. Hahaha. It takes long time to connect to the internet. i guess around 6 minutes. The cpu load shoots to 100% and when I download torrent or using IDM, they are not responding to the server (takes around 1 to 2 minute) before they actually starts to download.

Flash the EU one.
Mine is using that and it's stable. Boot up is around 6mins...but I seldom reboot the router.

Hi guys, newbie here. REcently i realized that if there is a need to restart my tplink c1200 (given by tm), it seems to need some time to get stable (sometimes restart again to get stable wifi connection). Also, the boot up period is a little bit long but i think less than 5 mins and will freezed once in a while (rare). Went to tm, they told me to exchange with tplink c5 (2 anthennas). Need some advice from sifus if i should make the exchange? Million thanksss.

I would. It is definitely more stable than the C1200.

I'm using the C5 v2. much more better than the useless c1200

May I know which TM point you went? They allow to change without additional cost?

I want to change too lol

Hi bro, Im from Kch, Sarawak. The main HQ at Batu Lintang, no additional cost as still under warranty.

Thanks bro. This will be my third replacement for the router at tm then..... . May I knw the more stable you mean?as in boot up,freeze,or wifi stability or all above??

All of the above definitely.

Thanks for the info bro

Is Archer C5 V2 better than C1200??

It is like you're comparing a cheetah (c5v2) with a tortoise (c1200).

About C1200 V1......I noticed one weird stuff.
I decided to unplug the motorolla dect phone (due to ah long issue).....and I noticed C1200 seem to hang less often....

Anyone can verify?

Don't think it's related.
For me, after flashing EU latest fw, no more hanging and reboot issue.
Torrenting with more than 5 con-current download no problem also.

Thanks for the info

How do you do the exchange? Walk in to counter? From kch too

My mom, my sister in law and i terminated out old UNIFI account and subscribed the new RM139 (30MB) promotion package. we received the TP-Link C1200 routers. That router is worst that i piece of junk. The line get disconnected every few minutes, rebooting time is long. I just cant connect to my office VPN with it, it keeps dropping the connection. i now end up with the 10 years old Dlink 615 router. not fast but at least everything is stable. I logged a report to TM, they said that they only have this router for now. so i end up getting back the same router.
After reading this forum, i found out that this is a common issue and most people that got this router, they went to get their own replacement outside. I think this is unacceptable, TM should provide us at least a working router. i have made a report to MCMC via 1800182222, i hope more people will make complaints to MCMC for TM to either replace this piece of junk or provide us rebate to get our own router.

ya, i just told them not stable...then offer me to change.

Bro, if I were you, I would just get a new router for now. I don’t even bother complaining anymore as they won’t do anything unfortunately. You can ask them for the DLink DIR850L, as they are issuing that as well.

Altneratively, just update the firmware of the C1200 to the EU version as most people seem to say it is more stable.

Hi bro, another question is that should disable the ipv6 for the tplink router?read from forum, seems like its quite troublesome when its being enabled.

Just disable it for now. It will be better.
