My solution to the heat generated. Simple laptop cooler below the router with two fan blasting from the bottom of the router. Steel surface below the router able to disperse heat quite well. Result is significant decrease of temperature of the router. I'm happy.

Thanks for the explanation and support on our product     

This is what will happen when I try to open some prohibited websites with TP-Link Homecare enabled.

It is pretty handy especially if you have users that are not really good with computer and it works on the entire network.

The antennas on the C3150 are designed to be upright for the best performance.

Those are PCB antennas and not really the same design as conventional antennas.

Awesome. After more than a month, i installed tplink tether app in my iphone 7 plus, it seems, my current c1200 (stock by tm) cannot be detected. However, before i sell my c7 to my friend, the apps can detect the c7 router. I guess the firmware for c1200 quite worse and got some bugs.

Can the coverage go up to 2.5 storey terrace house without repeater? currently doing some self research and was first interested to go mesh, but the price is too expensive, currently looking at either 2 mikrotiks or tplink with extender, but if C3150 can cover whole house, then why not? 
Is it very hot? Because i'll definitely place it in the living room due to hypptv

I have the C3150 and I guess it has one of the best coverage among consumer routers currently.

I prefer a router and powerline extender configuration over mesh for our Malaysia concrete houses. Mesh networking rely on wireless for backhaul and concrete isn't really helpful.

As for the heat, nothing much to worry. It is warm to the touch but the router is designed to run at much higher temperature.

I just received AC1750, trying to configure internet setup it keep failed, anyone can give guideline how to setup unifi?

Not ideal.

I am hoping for hostname list blocking style since later version of TP-Link archers are based on open-wrt

If TPLink can add this package https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/ma...t/adblock/files  , it would be great

But TP-Link can't even fix C1200 V1 random reboot issue. 

Mine is V4, no more option for unifi or other ISP to choose  , i follow exactly the user manual but still not able to bring up the internet 

Yup, i discovered this part, i think i choose IGMP Version V2 instead of V3, will try again later, now went out for dinner.

Btw i found out a user review in Lazada stated workaround as below, he said need to connect the STB, my STB i never used at all since i installed my unifi 8-9 years ago, i got astro installed so i didn't need it, i also forgot where i keep 
For the MAC clone portion, i try to get the value from my old router but when applied in tplink router it keep said format wrong.

Tips:
1) The dropdown boxes in the setup has sliders despite looking like it doesnt. At first i thought the selections in each dropdown was limited to what was shown, but you need to click and drag the right side of the dropdown to slide down to additional options.
2)Make sure you connect all cables including the STB (Hypp Tv box) in LAN1 even though you don't use it. Then start the quick setup. In my case it failed to connect.
3) Then setup the IPTV (despite failing the setup above) for malaysia-unifi in the advanced/network/IPTV tab.
4) I had to use MAC clone of my original TM router (found underneath the router). Choose 'use custom MAC address' and key in your original router's MAC.
5)Turn the router off & restart the modem, once it connects (around 2 mins) then turn on the router on & wait for it to connect.
6) In my case the internet connection LED only turned green once i opened the STB and opened hypp tv. Once it connects you can turn the STB off.
7) Have patience. For some reason this router takes more time to connect. While the original unifi router took 1min or less, this one takes 2-3 mins. I always leave my routers on 24/7 so its a one time annoyance for me. LOL

That's good to know, I would believe most of us will just let the router run non stop until need to reboot or when away from home for long periods
Will buy it and give it a go

C3150 at 899 + good extender at around 100-200, definitely cheaper than mesh networking solution

Finally got the internet connected by followed your guideline, it is correct need to choose IGMP Version V3   Thank you so much 

Seriously without your info i guess i got to wait till tomorrow make a call to Tplink.

my friend, my current router supplied by tm is c1200 v1.
Yes bro. mine is C1200. My tether app is at latest update.

I have to manually turn off the wifi at the admin interface rather than using a physical button available at the back of the router since i turn off the led's. 

Because when you turn off the led's, you cant really know whether you turn off the wireless signal or not. Sometime it activates wps function. I will change the router soon. haha. For time being, i sold my c7 to my friend, and planning to get tplink c3150.

notify me too bro if there is any good offer.  BTW, do you know if OOKAS is selling the V1 or V2 for the c3150?

Hi bro, the router antenna can be swapable with other brands? The reason i ask so is because i found the signal of the ac1750 rather weak compared with my previous asus router, before this i'm able getting full bar signal on my phone and laptop inside my bedroom with the door closed, however now with ac1750 the signal bar is fluctutated, both on 2.4ghz, i try 5ghz even worst, hardly getting full bar and sometimes signal lost, my phone auto changed to mobile 4G network. Not a good experience with this router to be honest.

I'm actually thinking buying asus 10dbi antenna to swap the default antenna for ac1750. Is it recommended?

Hi bro, i got the result as attached, again i lost internet connection again on 5ghz while replying this post  . Btw how to check whether i got any interference? The highlighted in red box are my network, Sorry i'm quite noob in this area.

Thanks bro for introduction of Acrylic WiFi, it is very useful 

wtask i bought tplink w8961n and want to used replace maxis wired broadband supplied modem. but after typical setting (username etc) still cant connect to the net. any idea why?

no, not fiber, wired maxis use adsl same with streamyx.

Would like to ask is that possible using the tm provided AC 1200 and setup a bridge Wi-Fi connection ? Currently using C3150 V1. Thanks

I wanna make the ac1200 as a repeater for my computer use. Save cost on buying AC Wi-Fi adapter  Can you please guide me on how to do so ?
