Earlier error is due to I do not choose Malaysia (unifi) in the setting.

Now working ok after about 24hours. Wondering if this router is as good as d850 which goes months without need to reset.

However I do notice that with this beta the wifi signal seem to be lower then before. Seem similar to d850 which is not good.
*
Darn. I finally know the reason of weak wifi signal as reported by few users!

In Malaysia; 5150-5350, 5470-5650 and 5725-5875 max EIRP are 1 Watt.
However, the beta firmware is using DE (Germany) power profile; 5250 – 5350 MHz (channel 36-64) is limited to 200 mW. Since the beta firmware only has channel 36 - 48. No wonder lah. doh.gif Germany 5470 – 5725 has eirp of 1W, too bad beta firmware has missing channel.

According to Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority of the Bahamas (No idea why Time/TM/Maxis firmwares select BS as power profile, anyone wanna report to MCMC?), 5150–5250MHz is limited to 200mW, 5250–5350MHz is limited to 200 mW, 5470–5725 = 1W, 5725–5825 = 1W

Hope this concludes wifi signal issue.
If users are previously using higher channel with high eirp, after updating to beta firmware, weaker signal is expected.

Crash due to beta or original default firmware? Please be specific.

Thanks. I updated the thread.

Strangely, the openwrt revision seem to be older than beta.
Beta is 66049 while official is 52299. Will test later.

newer doesnt mean better

Tested roughly

Summary

WIFI 2.4G/5G transmission,stability,speed : Unifi stock firmware still works better, stronger, stable and consistant. Still not upper channel like 165 for WIFI 5ghz. Feel like being throttle and underclock.
For malaysia WIFI channel, max wattage should be 200mW for 2.4G and 1000mW for 5G. Guess this firmware using Europe Wifi region so no maximum wattage and channel.
CPU AND RAM: Almost perfect.

GUI: Fast

IPV6: never test because using as AP

AP mode: AP Mode enable but not in full mode as missing few setting. Im still using manual AP setting.

Disconnect Issue: Under testing.
*
Well, the official firmware wifi region still automatically select Germany as default....no option to select other.

Do you think TP-Link will release regional based firmware later?
I think this is for the general testing firmware because of the link http://test.tp-link.com

But I highly doubted that Malaysian version TM will screw with their crappy "@unifi" SSID and other backdoors.
*
It is their prototyping website (you know, for html coding test just to see if everything displayed correctly ) before releasing firmware globally. So....it is as official as it can be.

........there was a beta firmware for Malaysia region......which fixed the random reboot issue too....with the most desired WIFI channel region (Bahamas...really? But why? Why Bahamas? rclxub.gif ), but it is full of crappy stuffs.
The filename is (Someone posted it at Jjuggler's blog);
C1200v1_eu_tm-up-boot-1.0.0 Build 20180104 rel.7326_2018-01-05_10.30.45.bin

Strongly advised not to install TM firmware. puke.gif

Maybe those who interested might wanna ask Jjuggler to supply that particular firmware here?

Unfortunately, there is demand for that particular TM firmware. Might as well as give them what they want? happy.gif

QUOTE(biggie @ Jan 30 2018, 08:35 AM)
How to update? Can press update firmware button? For current beta users need to input every setting again?
*
Manual update, download the zip, extract, login to router, select the new firmware, click upgrade, wait.
In my case, no setting was reset after upgrading from beta to official.

the cpu load is lesser than 30% for me. mostly stay in the range of 10 - 15%. just flash my c1200 to the latest fw which just released few days ago. Highly recommended.

Will prepare a full depth review on the new firmware soon.

So....may I upload the TM firmware 'robbed' from your site by one of your user? laugh.gif

Thank you. Upgrade mine successfully. Hopefully, will be a stable as the previous release which I am happy with.

Also tick the beamforming this time aorund. IPV6 have been disable previously.

Well....aside from official firmware....if you really need the high power 5ghz channel 161 and 165....you might wanna try TM beta firmware (random reboot / wifi fix included).
Beware of TM firrmware pro and cons... dry.gif
You can find it at first page.

If I get you right, Europe firmware has lower 5GHz power vs Msia?

How about 2.4GHz?
*
For 5Ghz, yes.
For 2.4Ghz, MCMC MTSFB TC T007:2014 document mentions max 2.4ghz eirp is 500mW.

For 2.4Ghz at Germany (well, EU C1200 V1 firmware defaults to DE)

Wow Msia MCMC max 500mW but DE max 100mW

Majority of low and mid range router sold in Malaysia actually limit 2.4Ghz at 100mW.
Only for high end router where TP-Link, Asus, DLink etc engineers bother to set correct/max 500mW 2.4Ghz for Malaysia. So much for being 'high end'. innocent.gif
Artificial product segmentation. (Same for 5Ghz)

Now, make your choice of which firmware to use. devil.gif
It is either official EU firmware or TM Beta firmware.

Bro pardon me for being rude, but have you tried the latest un-official firmware pointed by RoxyGal? I flash my c1200 to the firmware and it does reduce the cpu usage and the router going well for about 3 days. The only drawback is the lan port of the router not detecting my cable. so relying on wireless now.  rclxms.gif

QUOTE(cannavaro @ Feb 1 2018, 01:30 PM)
eh, you mean all 4 LAN ports not working after the update?

In my case, LAN ports are working just fine.

Port 4 customised for hypptv, port 1 connected to main gaming desktop.

Jjuggler's cable got loose?

hey guys, I got the Archer C7 tp link, I set up my router and inserted my PPPOE and did the UNIFI config for IPTV, it wrote INTERNET connected but I don't get any connection and unable to load even to google sad.gif, is there a setting I missed or I have to call Unifi to send a technician?

.....Check your gateway.
Maybe you set static ip on your device?

C7 default gateway 192.168.1.1
Other TP-Link Archer default gateway is 192.168.0.1

Hi, I am using TP-Link Archer C1200 router TM unit at home for browsing, some gaming, internet banking usage.

I want to ask, at router management setting, NAT Forwarding, ALG, UPnP, can i disable all those. it seem not needed for me but i am not sure.

Can i safely disabling all those within NAT Forwarding, will it make my router less secure?
does it reduce the CPU load on the router?
please help
*
Hmm? Are you using TM beta firmware at first post? Downgrade successful with TFTP?

Yes, disable all ALG and UPNP. It will make your router MORE SECURE.
There are some malware/virus/trojan made use of UPNP for portforwarding and exposing victim system to the Internet.

RoxyGal, the official TM Malaysia firmware is out.

Biloxee already pointed it out.

TFTP method ought to work.
Difference is the IP would be 192.168.0.66 hmm.gif

Tried TFTP method, able to access to c1200 restore firmware and upload the stock unifi firmware but when reboot it will only revert back to the last firmware. So TFTP method doesnt work
*
Guess you have to contact TP-Link for more info.

As for your 5ghz channel question on the TM latest official firmware, it contains 36, 40, 44, 48, 100, 120, 161 and 165.


EDIT: Are you sure TFTP successfully upload TM firmware into the router?

....RoxyGal

A question for you. You said tftp flashed TM firmware automatically reset to EU version after reboot.....

Try these.
1) TFTP older version of the firmware C1200v1_eu_tm-up-boot-1.0.0 Build 20170905 rel.41738_2017-09-05_13.51.02, but DON'T REBOOT once you are able to access TM firmware configuration page.

2) Right away flash the current C1200v1_eu_tm-up-boot-1.0.0 Build 20180208 rel.57928_2018-02-09_10.03.18 via the 41738 upgrade pages.
