-.-....have you tested it yet?

later..will give feedback

.....if you want to ask about the wifi power.....I need config.bin from router with TM Firmware before I can make a comparison. Need to determine whether it is hardcoded into firmware or can it be modified....

Really tm provide c1200 is hopeless..
Today the router suddenly no internet, my cctv unable to view at apps..
Have to go back and restart the router..

I personally blame TP-Link.
C1200 hardware is good. Too bad its firmware suck.

How do you hammer the router? 24/7 torrenting with unlimited connection?

Tp-Link if solve C1200 problem, then C1200 become better then Archer C7.

No torrent or anyone using, because its in new house.
still under renovation, only afternoon use by family who went there to site visit.
it just cctv using the internet. 24/7 and the ddns couldn't follow up for the router auto reboot.

backup file error. Cant restore .bin file. Nvm, anyway thanx. Im just using it as secondary AP for AC mode

As I feared. Root access is really mandatory.
TP-Link webui will accept config.bin with modified <country>MY</country> settings after sending the command below:

uci set wireless.eth2.country=MY
uci set wireless.eth3.country=MY
uci set wireless.eth2.channel=auto
uci commit wireless; wifi

and restarting the uci/uhttp server :

/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart

Only then a modified config.bin can be uploaded successfully through TP-Link webui.


EDIT:
Consider gaining root access?
Ubuntu live usb?

I have linux live USB , but i dont wanna waste anymore time on c1200

me too, want to sell it off.

Using v1.1.1 Build 20180101 rel.66049 (BETA) firmware

1 week 6 hours uptime and still going...

just keep it in store room, can use as backup if something wrong with main router.

I got this beta FW dated 08-03-2018 from TP-Link forum, any one want to give it a try.

Updated on first page. Thanks.


edit:
C1200v1_eu-up-1.1.3 Build 20180124 rel.52299
OpenWRT build number r12067

C1200v1_eu-up-1.1.3 Build 20180308 rel.49551(Beta)
OpenWRT build number r13176

Flashing the 20180308 firmware results in 2.4Ghz wifi channel 12 and 13 missing.

Official EU firmware 20180124 "flash-firm"


But the 20180308 beta



Hmm? Seem like 20180308 adds Wake On Lan (WOL) feature.


Wireless driver and something about IPv6 being modified, but no idea what is being modified.
That all about it.




EDIT:
From my rooting experiment....
Apparently, after one commit uci wireless etc and upload edited config.bin with any one of channel 58, 106, 122 and 138 with 80Mhz, C1200 will use that channel just fine. However, TP-Link webui will display "AUTO(Channel 106)" (depending on channel specified in config.bin) and there is no way to select U-NII-2A and U-NII-2C channels at webui.

Do you have any idea what they edit will solve the random reboot problem?

if C1200 is not connected to modem, just by itself and let it power on, can we check it got random reboot problem?

Parking, interested to read about more feedback on the beta firmware..

Hi guys...
How can I find out If the router C1200 was rebooted when I was not at home?
There is no option how long is router turned on in menu.
Thank you.

Absolutely no idea to both of your questions.
But, didn't tplink said the reboot is caused by a lot of network packet (in google case, it was MDNS) in short time?
With the fix of discarding some of those packets to avoid overloading the router?
Maybe use iPerf --parallel 200 000 between two systems to hammer the router?

Nothing else. Give up on it.

On the other hand, I must say...being the only user in the neighbourhood using channel 138 at 80Mhz works wonder with ssh + root + config.bin modification.

Get a computer/laptop connected to router via LAN and install Microsoft Message Analyzer.
My home PC server never turned off....so........this might not suit your requirement.

this question was ask and answer before Click here to see.
