I'm on the beta firmware for C1200v1 EU and it is rock solid for almost 24 hours now.

No disconnect / loss of internet that requires a router reboot
No broken wifi (Wifi is turned on but some devices cannot connect)
Memory usage is currently @ 27%
Cpu usage fluctuates between 20-ish% to 100% - and I'm seeing lower low with this new firmware.

Interesting how this performs over the next few days.

Is the beta software stable for you guys? Running EU beta for 24hours now. Same old. Devices get kicked. Perhaps maybe the cpu loaf is more reasonable right now. When I updated. My setting was still there. I didn’t have to restore. Is that way ok? Or hard reset?

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.gif

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.

The settings will be reset automatically when the firmware were upgraded to beta. I flash the router on 4th Jan 2018 and my router reboots today morning around 4.56am. Because I monitor the logs and public ip everyday so when there is a change in public ip, then i know the router reboots by itself. The thing i like in this router running on beta is, the wireless signal. Beast. Even transmission power were set to middle, i can get 5GHz from my parents house gate. Note that im living in 20 X 70 Double storey. rclxms.gif
