Stable enough for me.
None of my family smartphones wifi have issue.

Weird thing, the beta update WILL reset everything. But you said your setting isn't reset at all? :confused:

EU? 01012018? Yes wasn’t reset at all when I updated. But I just reset it. Still not as good as my ASUS n12hp. For far wireless coverage. Nearby is fine. My router is upstairs at the back. My tv is in front downstairs.

Yes, probably something is wrong with your update progress.
Updating to the beta firmware will reset all the settings.
Perhaps you should consider doing a full factory reset? Or reflash again?  hmm.gif

EDIT: N12HP? -.- I think you should understand how antenna works.

So what’s the best way I should put my router? I can remove n12hp antennas if that helps. They have 9dbi. Not sure about c1200

Shitty diagram of my house. lol. 22x75

.....that is the worst possible location to put your router. Plus....no, you can't connect N12HP antenna to C1200.  doh.gif
Ideally, the router should be put at the middle of your house.

As for the C1200 antenna.

Antenna orientation matter.
Recommend you to orient left and right antenna in perpendicular mode.

I know. I regret it now. 10 years ago when they did, I just thought of my pc not many wireless gadgets last time if any. So my pc is wired now but others suffer. 😂 but I can’t change the location now. Anyways it was all good with the n12hp. But that’s was 9db antennas. I’m looking at ac1330uhp ASUS for my next buy if this doesn’t works.

Thanks for the suggestion on the antennas. smile.gif

Stable for 3 days with no reboot. No Wifi problems with any of my devices, ipads, iphones, notebooks, andriod box.

Try resetting your router. Mine was automatically factory reset after I installed the new beta firmware.

I’m did a normal reset. Will try a hard reset. I think I read about it somewhere. 😅 did you restore your setting or u set up back?

US or EU version. I believe we are all using the EU version...

Not sure who we are but before the EU beta ver released lots of discussion was on EU firmware from an australian website. the latest is US on the australian tplink site. At least that was the link provided by the sifus here. by the way after flashing the beta firmware did u restore your settings?

Your case of router at top back of house is tricky.
But if rtn12hp worked well for 50mbps, thats a good sign.

My router is at ground front.
Rtn12hp worked very well for 10, 30, 50mbps.

But cant do enough for 100mbps.
Rt ac1300uhp is good for me.
Full speed almost all areas with 5ghz.
The worst possible spot can still get 25mbps with 2.4ghz.
Which is good enough for what i use there.

All the best.

i never got close to 50mbps but it was sufficient for netflix and ps4 multiplayer. whole area u mean upstairs and downstairs?? thats good. maybe ill get that as my last resort and fix it upside down whistling.gif

thanks

Now, 100mbps full in most areas upstairs n downstairs... with rt ac1300uhp 5ghz.

Good eqpt gives good results!!
Sorry for OT,  will stop here... this is tplink thread.

This is my pov. I've updated the beta firmware in my blog.  biggrin.gif . Reboot time takes around 3 minutes. stable without even need to put cooling fan (no overheat). I dont restore the setting. I just set up again since the beta firmware will wipe out all your settings by default.

awesome. i actually follwed everything that you did. the only diff is i reset and then i restore setting from my back up.

New update guys, EU beta version released. See here for a write up by bro BookerLewitt:

“They do have the EU version (which is what we use) on the FAQ.

Just updated mine (unifi EU V1) to the beta firmware. It wipes out all your settings, so before upgrading, make sure you keep your unifi username and password handy.

Turns out the unifi specific firmware makes the router way shittier than it already is. After upgrading to the beta firmware, I noticed two big thing:
1. I no longer have to deal with the shitty @unifi thing on my SSID. It's no longer there.
2. There's a check for update button on the firmware settings page.

Waiting for the Malaysian specific update might take a while (and there's two version locally, the TM and Time version), so if you're comfortable dealing with your router settings, I dont see any issue with upgrading with the firmware they provided. If shit go south, just flash the old firmware back.”

They removed it for some unknown reason, so use at your own risk. See here for link: http://static.tp-link.com/2018/201801/2018...180101_Beta.zip
