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

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

Yup, also this morning UniFi was down in some areas (puchong, subang jaya, putrajaya IIRC - see UniFI thread) so it may not be the router's problem
if you live in one of those affected areas...

The signal went better with the new firmware? Or the same with the old firmware.
So the beta firmware still reboot?

I'm using Unifi package 30Mbps, however I found my area upstairs have limited signal and problem.

Anyone can suggest the best router or booster/extender to cover until upstairs or area can breakthrough wall or cover area more than 3000sqft.

Thanks

Stop expecting a single router could give you a excellent coverage. Booster is not an ideal solution also. Consider getting a Mesh Wifi system or setup another AP in your house in addition to the original router.

.....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.

Sorry what did u mean by don’t forge to enable 5ghz beamforming? U mean do not enable TxBF?

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?

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.

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?

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.
