My mom, my sister in law and i terminated out old UNIFI account and subscribed the new RM139 (30MB) promotion package. we received the TP-Link C1200 routers. That router is worst that i piece of junk. The line get disconnected every few minutes, rebooting time is long. I just cant connect to my office VPN with it, it keeps dropping the connection. i now end up with the 10 years old Dlink 615 router. not fast but at least everything is stable. I logged a report to TM, they said that they only have this router for now. so i end up getting back the same router.
After reading this forum, i found out that this is a common issue and most people that got this router, they went to get their own replacement outside. I think this is unacceptable, TM should provide us at least a working router. i have made a report to MCMC via 1800182222, i hope more people will make complaints to MCMC for TM to either replace this piece of junk or provide us rebate to get our own router.

Bro, if I were you, I would just get a new router for now. I don’t even bother complaining anymore as they won’t do anything unfortunately. You can ask them for the DLink DIR850L, as they are issuing that as well.

Altneratively, just update the firmware of the C1200 to the EU version as most people seem to say it is more stable.

Hi All, good news for those using the Junk TP-Link C1200 UK V1 router, you can go to TP-Link Australia page, look for this firmware
Archer C1200(EU)_V1_170616

It works and stable. Previously i tried the UK latest firmware, HyppTV not working, now i use this firmware, just select Bolehland-Unifi, put in username and password.

So far so good.
