anyway can speed up the boot time for ac1200? it was so slow until it takes few minutes only can connect.

Try the beta firmware in this thread.

you tried ?

I like the design of this modem / router. Normally i don't prefer a router has external antennas. I much prefer those which has internal antennas except the stock tm router like rgx440 and innatech. lmao. I wonder how much it would cost since it is an ac1200 router/modem. hopefully below rm400.

Hi

Do you guys know how to setup TL-WR1043ND to connect to VPN services like ExpressVPN, IPVanish and etc?

I have been looking for the PPTP or L2TP option but it seems to be missing.

Probably below RM400.

You have to use a third party firmware for that. It is a really old router and the performance would suffer.

Hi Blacktubi

Third party firmware as in DD-WRT?
Also, what would trigger the performance degradation? The third party firmware or the VPN service?

See the thread for reviews on the firmware.

You will have to use third party firmware as bro blacktubi said and yes, I would suggest you change to a more powerful router anyway as that is quite a dated router that does not support AC.

Modern VPN protocols are encrypted and require a lot of resources to run. It may crash the router and affects the performance.

Yes, DD-WRT or OpenWRT/LEDE shall work. You will have to find the correct package and correctly configure it.

hopefully bro Blacktubi. Initially saving money to buy tplink c3150 router since the review of the router from bro SilentVampire is good. after encounter with tplink Archer VR1200v's beauty. haha. can't wait to test out the combo.

That one is for Streamyx instead of UniFi...

I feel the router may have similar functionalities like this router. Dlink already came up with such device. It is the time for tplink to rock again.

Bro, the Archer VR1200v is for ADSL and VDSL connections and definitely not for fibre connections. Sorry to burst your bubble.

i think the Archer VR1200v can use fibre connections [attachmentid=9532742]

Should work if the proper firmware is being built.

Thank you for the clarification bro. Hopefully, it will come with the right and proper firmware. I would buy it if it does come with fibre connections.

the archer ac3150 is a great router. I'm using it now. daily connected devices around 16-22 units. no problem easy to monitor since this is a cloud router. the wifi coverage is quite strong too

I agree bro. Best WiFi coverage among routers that I have had in the past. Glad to see you are enjoying it.

I see. Thanks for the review thou.

I thought the combo router from tplink will support both unifi and streamyx since it has a wan poer (interent port) and 4 gigabit lan ports. The design attracts me thou.

It does look good bro, and will definitely support both Streamyx and Unifi. Hope it will get a good firmware as well.
