Just flashed to Tp-link C1200 EU Version 1 beta firmware 1.1.1 Build 20180101 rel.66049 (EU)
Beta firmware for C1200 EU Version 1.0 and unable to downgrade/restore/revert back to the stock UNIFI firmware as the original is still better than the beta firmware Last original UNIFI FIRMWARE I notice inconsistency with this firmware such as wifi speed not consistant, cpu and speed being underclock or being throtle, some latency issue and so on. After intensive testing, I personally found out original stock unifi firmware works the best until latest stable firmware is out Summary as below: Isssue: Wifi speed not consistant GUI lagging UNABLE TO FLASH BACK TO ORIGINAL UNIFI FIRMWARE WIFI 5GHZ only has 36, 40, 44 and 48 channel only (NO HIGHER CHANNEL COMPARED TO ORIGINAL UNIFI FIRMWARE as I am using Channel 165 previously) Some latency issue (depends whether you can feel the difference compared to original UNIFI FIRMWARE) TX Beamforming taking CPU usage heavily (No difference in speed at enabling it for WIFI 5ghz) Wifi Link speed going up and down. WIFI/WAN disconnection drop/Router restart What this beta firmware solve: Runs cooler than Unifi original firmware Reboot a little faster Using FTTH UNIFI HOME 30MBPS/10MBPS connected to ASUS RT with this router configured as Access Point mode with manual setting. Below is the screenshot of the UNIFI speed test using N150 wifi dongle( link speed 72mbps) to test the speed using original UNIFI firmware. Will get the speed 10 out of 10 test. Using LAN will get ping 2ms and jitter 1ms. After flashed to this beta firmware, UNIFI speed test not showing perfect score anymore. WIFI 2.4ghz with 20mhz, channel 11 and wireless N only WIFI 5ghz with 80mhz, channel 48 and wireless N/AC only DHCP server disable WPS Pin disable Sharing Setting unticked for 3 access method Folder sharing disable Print server disable SPI firewall disable 1.1.1 Build 20180101 rel.66049 (EU) TX Beamforming disable WPS disable Nat and Nat Boost disable This post has been edited by RoxyGal: Jan 26 2018, 07:42 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « To answer wifi missing channels and signal issue: 1) Archer C1200(EU)_V1_170706 C1200v1_eu-up-1.1.1 Build 20170706 rel.65715.bin as well as beta firmware C1200v1_eu-up-1.1.1 Build 20180101 rel.66049(Beta) are missing wireless.region.json, wireless.24g.json and wireless.5g.json. Meanwhile C1200v1_eu_tm-up-boot-1.0.0 Build 20170905 rel.41738_2017-09-05_13.51.02.bin has those three included. Since I am the only one who complain about wifi channels issue to TP-Link about these missing files, I guess they ignored me?  2) TX beamforming = For C1200 case, it only has Single-User beamforming mode (only 2 antennas are used for 5ghz, don't get confused with 3 antenna. The middle antenna is shared between 2.4ghz and 5ghz), therefore if one 5ghz user is heavily downloading stuff, then other 5ghz users will get lower signal strength in dB. Of course CPU usage gonna increase because calculation needed for beamforming. With SU-Beamforming, it is generally accepted the signal strengh will be improved up to 5 or 8 dB. 3) Wifi link speed going up and down? Did you align three antennas correctly? (In front of router looking at LED, left=5ghz, middle = 2.4ghz and 5ghz, right= 2.4ghz). Don't forget TP-Link also turning on wifi power saving by default, meaning if there is no wireless activity, the link speed will be reduced. (Not to mention if 5ghz beamforming is turned on and one user is downloading heavily scenario) EDIT: Here a funny part, in v40000 series TM firmware....do you know it defaults to Bahamas wifi region?  Then, remote management TR-069 is enabled by default and can't be disabled. A security risk indeed. This post has been edited by JohnLai: Jan 26 2018, 11:32 AM |

QUOTE(mastering89 @ Jan 26 2018, 11:36 AM) very informational thread QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Jan 26 2018, 11:58 AM) Beautiful analysis of the code bro JohnLai. The best lesson to take away from this is to get your own third party router and not to use TM provided router. Now then....here another funny and legal parts.According to Portal Rasmi Kementerian Komunikasi & Multimedia Malaysia, http://www.kkmm.gov.my/akta_kpkk/WiFi%20Gu...e-Final%20V.pdf , year 2005 ;  The latest one from MCMC as shown below, https://www.mcmc.gov.my/skmmgovmy/media/Gen...WirelessLAN.pdf , finalized in year 2013 has funny typo.... Example:   5150Mhz?  Not sure if compared to year 2005 document and the year 2013 document itself where the appendix section mentioned 5250Mhz itself, see below: But ETSI EN 301 893 documentation mentioned 5150 to 5350 exists....oh well ......let get started with 5150 MHz to 5350 MHz, 5470 MHz to 5650 MHz and 5725 MHz to 5875 MHz. https://www.mcmc.gov.my/skmmgovmy/media/Gen...C-T007_2014.pdf  The data above shown DFS is mandatory for 5150 MHz to 5350 MHz. DFS and TPC is mandatory for 5470 MHz to 5650 MHz. Meanwhile DFS and TPC are not needed for 5725 MHz to 5875 MHz. Based on legendary wikipedia information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_...2.11a/h/j/n/ac) At 5ghz...the approved channels (in this case 20 Mhz bandwidth) for Malaysia are channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52 ,56, 60, 64 = 5150 MHz to 5350 MHz 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128 = 5470 MHz to 5650 MHz (132, 136 and 140 are forbidden by MCMC) 149, 153, 157, 161, 165 = 5725 MHz to 5875 MHz (Technically, Malaysia can use 147, 169 and 173, however tplink c1200 hardware is designed for use in EU, so it is unlikely EU hardware revision can support these three channels) |
