QUOTE(apecx92 @ May 16 2018, 03:35 PM) Is normal when i i multiple download then the Router hang for a minute? If not how to solve this issue? Using Archer C1200 given by TM. Using latest firmware? If you are, then the router is getting overheated. Try to elevate it somehow or cool it down. If it still hangs, it is considered a crappy router to be honest.

If it still hangs, it is considered a crappy router to be honest. Yup using latest firmware. Already elevate using hard foam but still hang. Connection suddenly stop & after a minute it resume but only happen when multiple download. Lol weird This post has been edited by apecx92: May 16 2018, 05:42 PM

Hey guys, I'm currently using TP-Link Archer C2 and subscribed to Unifi 100Mbps but the maximum speed that I'm getting from speed test is only around 4xMbpx
I'm not sure whether if the router is the bottleneck capping the speed to below 50Mbps as the description from the router says it can support up to 300Mbps or something related to my fiber optic cable that will need the Unifi technicians.

U use WiFi? Test with wired connection first.

The description on the router don’t mean anything, if you are using WiFi on 2.4GHz, you won’t be getting full speed as there is many congestion and interference. You have to use 5GHz AC. If it is wired connection that is slow, there are many factors.

Thanks for the suggestion, just tried to use 5GHz and managed to achieve 102Mbps using speedtest.net, I've previously read that 2.5Ghz have a wider coverage range so I've been using that all these while, never knew there will difference in the throughput.

Hi experts, I just installed unifi at my parent's place and got the c1200. My own house has the older silver dlink one which I can create a new wireless ssid and tag it to the hyptv vlan. I don't seems to be able to do it with the c1200. Can someone confirm this ?

Yes, it can’t do wireless SSID tag and it is only wired.
