Give up on C1200 d.

channel 36 and auto inclusive. . Having 9 including auto channels in total. So far i am a happy user of this router. Never faced a single issues. Special thanks SilentVampire bro for suggesting me to test this router. Those who wish to buy this router, do upgrade your firmware to the latest version. Because you will face some minor difficulties of getting an error to setup the router successfully.

I hope they really find out a possible solution for the auto-reboot part. I felt pity to those who have to depend on stock isp router and those who tight budget. I felt surprise that, the router that received many negative reviews, DIR850L performs better than c1200. Awesome hardware, poorly coded firmware.

last firmware update was on 2017 and no more update after that?
asus ac88u double the price of c3150

c3150 with 32 mb flash memory for firmware/256 ram
ac88u with 128 mb flash memory for firmware/512 ram

If you set 20Mhz, did channel 165 appear for C3150V2 ?
Could you some extra testing with your new toy?
Download wifi analyzer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?....analyzer&hl=en ,
Check if the dbm changes (take note of the dbm value) for channel 36, 149, 157 and 165 (if 165 appears after setting 20mhz or auto width).
I wonder if TP-Link is using same transmit power for all channels in its whole product range. 

Because C1200 (eu firmware) seems to use same transmit power for all 5ghz channel........the proof is the dbm signal quality decreasing as the frequency get higher linearly.

@jjugler
Your C3150 review is well written.  Good read.

@RoxyGal
If you were to compare, it should be the Asus AC86U, the current model as the AC88U is outdated.
Also the AC86U has the newer BCM4366E chip whch fixes some of the issues with the BCM4366 used in both the AC88U and C3150.

Bro, i saw the router come with power adapter, if let it on 24/7, the power consumption must be quite high.

Thank you. 
I will test it and provide the outcome of the test.
This is a high performance router. I haven't check my electric bill. Just only 2 weeks + bro. I will let you know if it consumes electricity compared with other routers. Even my previous asus ac87r comes with adapter. all high end router does comes with adapter to be precise. 

After 22days..my router rebooted...how i know it was reboot..since i set vpn..so the public ip still same until it is reboot n wan ip is change..and i cant vpn anymore.22 days uptime consider ok la..

Archer C7 consume 4.5W of power, Archer C1200 consume around 7W the last time i check.

8 days 20 hours and rebooted. Damn it.

Previous max uptime was 8+ days as well. Can't seem to go beyond 9 days...

Please try to factory reset and configure again.that how i can get 22days uptime.maybe you can try also

Hi,

Can I know what brand/model of that power measurement device you using there?

mine is generic no brand one, you can find new models at Lazada, search for "ac electricity meter" cost around RM50.

if you want branded, Uni-T brand is not bad.

Nice... I be quoting for my future reference.. 

hello guys, i am also user of TP-Link C1200 Router (it is given by TM).

Behind the Router only got 1 USB Port, but i wanna setup both Print Server & Disk Storage.

Can I connect additional USB Hub to extend the usage of default USB Port?
