QUOTE(atilla @ May 11 2019, 08:21 PM) The problem can happen after several factory resets as well. The router is still showing the upper 5G channels in the drop down list (but they don't actually work as I explained above). Now that weird, cause I don't see any of upper 5G channels at dropdown on EU firmware.....you sure it isn't caused by browser cache? |

QUOTE(heidarren @ May 24 2019, 11:09 PM) Yes I’m using 180123 firmware, how to check the WDS? Page 29. From top to bottom.As for power adaptor, it’s totally safe to use higher Amp as long as the voltage is same, the device will only draw as much power as it needs, it’s more like 3A = “up to 3A” and 1A =“up to 1A”. But voltage is the one we need to be careful, higher voltage will burn ur device |

QUOTE(eugenecctan @ Jun 7 2019, 12:26 PM) Sifus, UNIFI has upgraded my WIFI modem to D-link 842 (AC1200 as well). Now I have a spare TP-LINK AC1200. How can I utilize my TP-Link Router? as I dun see the repeater option. Thanks. Page 29.QUOTE(eugenecctan @ Jun 7 2019, 07:23 PM) Should I flash to EU firmware better or US? Thanks Invalid question. TM TP-Link C1200 version = EU hardware V1.You should ask which one is better, EU edition or MY (TM UNIFI or TIME variant) edition. Between EU firmware and MY firmwares --->Pick your poison. |

QUOTE(eugenecctan @ Jun 7 2019, 09:37 PM) Guys, after setup for 2.4G WDS bridging. Then I continue with 5G WDS bridging. Then after Save the 5G WDS became disable? Does it means we can only setup once? To choose either 2.4G or 5G? You can only use either 2.4ghz or 5.0ghz as BACKHAUL.If you select 5.0ghz as backhaul, only 2.4ghz will be available for 'normal' wifi connection and vice versa. |

QUOTE(eugenecctan @ Jun 7 2019, 10:22 PM) Thanks all SIFUs, now I can get stronger 5G signal. After I reset and reconfigured again. Btw, since I only enable Bridging for 5G, is there a way to off the 2.4G signal and purely focusing the 5G signal? Thanks. - Ignore this question. Found the option to disable 2.4g -.- US firmware = different hardware --> Cannot flash EU hardware with US firmware. I am thinking to flash to US firmware to get stronger 5G. Thanks for all the help. |

QUOTE(Aspick @ Jun 9 2019, 02:37 AM) EU firmware have the usual 2.4G channels and only 4 5G channels namely 36, 40, 44 and 48. Which US firmware? This one? https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download...00/v1/#FirmwareUS firmware have additional 5 5G channels which are 149, 153, 157, 161 and 165. If you plan to use 5G as backhaul in WDS mode and also for SSID wifi broadcast, then i recommend flashing to US firmware. However do take note that 2.4G wifi signal is much weaker than 5G signal. If you have other device that need to connect to 2.4G signal, then i suggest you remain with EU firmware. I am using different method to set the wifi country code for EU firmware via config.bin method. It works.  I leave the EU firmware default country code for 2.4ghz wifi while editing the 5.0ghz country code to US. The best of both world. Impressively, there is really an increase in 5.0ghz signal strength dbm.  Not sure if the increase is caused by beamforming functionality. |

Aspick , heidarren and eugenecctan = Any random reboot issue encountered after flashing USv1 firmware? Remember to report back.
Second question........did you guy try to flash USv2 or USv3 firmware to the EUv1 hardware? From previous posts made by you three, it appears flashing USv1 firmware to EUv1 hardware work perfectly. But, how about USv2 and USv3? This post has been edited by JohnLai: Jun 12 2019, 02:31 PM |

Thanks The random reboot issue is still there even with latest branch of EU/US firmware, just not that frequent. Maybe one or two random reboots in a month?Read the first page, first post. |

QUOTE(Aspick @ Jun 22 2019, 01:37 AM) JohnLai, seems the US firmware still has the random reboot issue. I think my router rebooted twice, once on the 3rd day then again on the 6th day. This is really disappointing indeed. Guess C1200 is the black sheep of TP-Link quality control regardless of hardware and software revision.Luckily, I'm using this as a WDS with only 1 or 2 devices connected to it intermittently. |

QUOTE(JuneResources @ Jul 7 2019, 08:16 PM) Same as my one get the router from TM. Firefox ;Any idea to remove wifi name @unifi? Login to the router, press F12, go to Network tab and keep it open. Now, at the router configuration page, go to Advanced, Wireless, Wireless Settings. Start with 2.4Ghz, directly click Save and pay attention to the latest stuff listed at Network. Find select the correct stuff (forgot the name), go to Params, find your SSID name and edit out the @unifi, edit and resend. Do the same with 5.0ghz? |

QUOTE(JuneResources @ Jul 8 2019, 08:44 PM) Sifu, this way I'm lost already. Similar instruction for chrome.How should I do? Mind to teach me by screenshot the way to go it? Thanks a lot. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4535308/all Ain't nobody got time for that. I am using Archer C6 now. I already put away C1200 somewhere in the storage room. If the chrome instruction still too complicated........why not considering flashing to US firmware instead? |

QUOTE(intothefantasy @ Jul 8 2019, 09:53 PM) hi all I think someone once wrote the WDS page is accessible on TIME/TM/Malaysia firmware without flashing to EU firmware. using this router from TIME broadband and i wanted to use this router as wifi extender or something which i think there is no option for that after researching for this firmware. question now is the router having this firmware  and also the firmware page is disable (i know how to get to the firmware upgrade page) since the current firmware show EU, which firmware should i flash for it to have the wifi extender option? WDS i believe? Follow instruction on page 29 and see if you can expose WDS option. |

QUOTE(Aspick @ Jul 9 2019, 08:43 AM) The WDS function is hidden. JohnLai discovered it and shared here. I think tp link hide it for a reason as it will create issue with certain functions, for example the time setting will not work when wds is enable. The printer sharing never work correctly for my case anyway.Edit1: Also unable to get the printer sharing function to work in wds mode. Maybe someone here has better luck and can share the method. The US and EU version has it. I'm using the US version because the 5G wifi signal strength is much better compared to the EU version. The drawback is the 2.4G signal will be weaker. QUOTE(Aspick @ Jul 9 2019, 08:47 AM) JohnLai I've been running my router as wds for the past 12 days without any rebooting. You will not make it past 30 days without single random reboot....... If i recall correctly, i disable SPI firewall and did not enable TX beamforming in my latest experiment. I'm using it with their stock adapter. I tried those before. Best record was 22 days before it randomly reboot as usual. intothefantasy Nope, you must edit the html code to expose WDS option for all firmwares. |

QUOTE(JuneResources @ Jul 9 2019, 02:45 PM) I do slightly a bit different method from your link given there. Yup, get the firmware from TP-Link US website.So far not so fast plan to change router since the router still expensive in current market there. If flashing to US firmware, then is it I need to visit TPLink US website there? My concern is as long as after flashing to US firmware, still can connect unifi then I'm no comment for it. Else if flashing to US firmware, afraid big issued can't connect unifi fiber. There were few users over here already flashed to US firmware and their unifi works fine......just remember to select correct VLAN preset first before setting up the PPPoE. |

QUOTE(Aspick @ Jul 10 2019, 09:52 PM) Jinxed.... spoke too soon. My US firmware flashed router just rebooted today. Back to experimenting with other settings now Give it up , and if you afford to purchase new router......I really propose you to buy one.I tried everything just to make C1200 works. I do recommend TP-Link A6, it is a budget option and usable if you use IPv4 only (the dreaded IPv6 firewall issue and LED not changing color on IPv6)  No USB port though. Never encounter random reboot ever since I use it. |

QUOTE(squall_12 @ Jul 14 2019, 12:09 AM) want to ask what the advantage using ipv6 over ipv4 for unifi? Thanks As more and more existing and new TM subscribers are moving to fibre or LTE/5G ........those who pay less in billing will be assigned with private IP range. Already happens to unifi basic subscribers.  CG-NAT (carrier grade network address translation) = bad for hosting own game server, P2P or CCTV, SFTP, home private VPN server etc. Thus = IPv6 to the rescue....assuming if your application and device has support for IPv6. Ancient CCTV OS doesn't support IPv6 at all. The downside = TM IPv6 routing kinda.....meh........lack of proper IPv6 firewall on many devices........ |
