QUOTE(Addword @ Jun 1 2018, 05:36 PM) Just ordered tp-link c1200, anything i should take note when setting up the router to my maxis modem(huawei)? Ouch. You should have ordered the TP Link C7 v4 instead. Nothing really, you halve to bridge the Maxis router if you still want to use VoIP.

There's a new firmware for C1200 V1 - anyone have upgraded to the 16/5/18 firmware? Modifications : 1. Support DualLan 2. Support Tr069 Notes : 1. For Archer C1200(EU) - TIME Wireless Router 2. It is NOT suggested to upgrade firmware which is not for your region. If this site is not for your region, please click here to choose your own region and download the most suitable firmware version. Currently on UniFi Pro 100Mbps plan but the router randomly reboots and speeds will drop whenever the CPU gets to 100% for a long time :/ This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Jun 2 2018, 06:15 PM

Try the Asus art-AC1300UHP, and your problems will be solved  There’s an offer for it now if I am not mistaken. See here: https://www.lazada.com.my/products/asus-rt-...4b054hb5Xs&mp=1

Jangan poison me brother  The functionality (according to the manual) looks like a huge leap over the TP-Link...

Definitely a huge leap but most important thing us that it is stable and the coverage is much better.

im wondering if unifi could exchange the router ? just got the router 2 weeks ago and the speed is very slow than before. even my 50mb package is faster than new package 100mb. they gave me the aicher 1200. been wondering if i could demand for faster speed and whether their new router will also blocked the google dns? if it's blocked i rather buy new router instead of request for change . tks.

They will just give you another C1200 or the DIR-850L. Get a new router if you own. I recommend the TP Link Archer C7 v4, or top up and get the Asus RT-AC1300UHP. But, I don’t think they block Google DNS on the C1200 though. Have you try changing your DNS in the router?
