my router lasted 9 months before showing any problems..hopefully new one can last more than that

will do that. i dont have a cooling fan. do u mean that small fan powered via usb? turning off the led lights is the option in system parameters right??? enable night mode?? how to set its off permanently?
hopefully they come out with a more stable firmware soon!

Don't hold your breath. There is newer versions of the C1200 out already, and the problematic version is v1, so doesn't look like they will bother with v1.

I see. I invest rm80 to buy cooler for my router. I turn off the led so that it looks nice moreover, the led's are not blinking. Hahaha.

Is the newer version of c1200 is better than the c1200v1?

May I know which cooler u bought? N I can’t seem to find the setting to off the led. Can u show me. Hehe

I am not sure bro, but I think they are similar in hardware anyway, according to wikidevi. Firmware will of course be newer.

Apparently they change my router to dlink 850l. Hopefully this will be more stable (although i heard the wifi signal isnt very good)

just ordered Mikrotik RB750Gr3 Gigabit router. Can't wait to test the router. Most of the reviewers who had used and still using the router, giving out colorful reviews for this router.

Good job bro. Paging bro soonwai for his guidance. How much did you buy it for and where from bro?

I follow soonwai bro's suggestion. I get it at a affordable price at here.

Waiting eagerly to use the router.

I bought this.

You can turn off your router led by looking at your web admin interface of your router. As marked in the picture below. If you using Malaysian firmware (blue), you can click at the led icon to turn the led's off.

UPDATE, I wont be using C1200 anymore. Upgrading to better router.

Seems like someone is trying to build LEDE for C1200, maybe some sifu here can give him some help?

First, it is broadcom = now broadcom is really anti open-source and only its proprietary firmware/blob can make use of the SOC true capability.
Second, 16Mb of flash storage is really cutting it close.

Conclusion = give it up.

Successfully set up my new mikrotik router. Such a long process. Haha.

Which model and How’s the coverage?

I bought this. A perfect router for me. The page loads faster better than my previous asus and tplink router. This router like a beast for such price.

The router is for those who don't need wireless in their home. This is a solid router for those who wish to use internet via ethernet cable. However, you can set up another cheap router to broadcast the wireless signal (bridging) if you wish to do so. However, the process to set up ppoe quite long since you have to carefully setting it up and its quite complicated for novice users. compared to other routers, I take approx. 2 - 3 minutes to set up the router.

2-3 min isnt that long haha. Good to hear that.

Normally for other router, it takes between 1 - 2 minute for me to setup including the wireless setup and etc. Mikrotik quite new for me.

Honestly speaking, I think the extender is crap! I got one in my bedroom upstairs and my router is downstairs! The signal strength show full bar on my iPad but turtle speed! My hse is about 5300sq ft! I also,think the router supplied by tm is crap! It took more than 5 mins to start up! Knn....my previous streamyx router was better than this!

same. i am using unifi for less than 1 month and it has been giving me problems every 12-24 hours. a reboot is required. problem is when after 12 hours some devices will not be able to connect to wifi but some can. those can if you disconnect the wifi and try join sure cannot already. a reboot is required.

i flashed the firmware to AU version but still same. i noticed the cpu is always super high like 90% on avg which is not good at all. tm already replaced it once for me and still same problem. going to ask them for a different model is possible like c5.
