I am an ex user of archer c7v2 (sold it already due to weak wireless signal for both bands) and c1200 (ditched it because whenever I download using idm, it delays 1 minute before download any files including images) and replaced with second hand asus rt-n56u router. That solves the problem. No need to wait for a minute to download. Even aus firmware cannot save c1200.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros of C7- no reboot issues
- not getting too hot
- able to handle 20 devices at a time
Cons of C7- lame ui
- weak wireless signal especially 5ghz band
- buggy firmware
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros of C1200- good wireless signal (even better than c7 to be precise)
Cons of C1200- firmware issues (too many bugs)
- random reboot (although aus firmware does improve the boot up time)
- overheat issue
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But, in future, I might avoid lower end tplink models.
Now i am a happy user of asus n56u.
The best part is, asus n56u still receives firmware upgrade although it has been 6 years the router was launched into the market.
did u try and flash c1200? hows your wifi range for n56u? N56u supports 100mbps?

I would say both are not that good. But, if I have to choose, I would choose the DLink as the AC1200 has had many complaints about stability.
ok. thanks! i wonder if i call them after a few months and see if they would change to a later version of c1200..hmmm

I agree. Trust me, if you're a heavy user, e.g. torrenting, your cpu load usually shoots up to 100%. I wonder do tplink did a proper testing before releasing the firmware. I believe the hardware used in c1200 is good. But how come such crappy firmware passed the testing?
if you're talking about router CPU load, mine is 8% memory usage is 42%. and why are they not updating the firmware

Another thing I found out about the TM tplink c1200, DNS server is locked to TM DNS server.( Even if you have changed to Google DNS or others.)
