Eh? Didn't realize your post......

There are two firmwares for C1200, one is Malaysian firmware (TIME, Maxis, TM), the other is EU firmware (for European regions)
Nope.

sigh, thought can bring it out again since unifi might free increase speed.

Just get a new router. TP Link C7 v4 or Asus RT-AC1300UHP.

Thanks for ur suggestion last time. I settled with ac87u. 🤟🏼

On the other hand, you could use C1200 as wireless repeater (with EU firmware) to cover deadspot/weak signal area in your house after buying new router........

Can setup C1200 as wireless repeater? I upgraded mine to EU firmware but only found AP mode, no wireless bridging mode to be found.

AUS fw here and I believe it's wired AP to wireless mode..

Oh crap, I think I better rephrase it. My mistake. I shouldn't call it as wireless repeater.

There is no WDS mode (wireless bridging). There is only AP mode via LAN cable. I was saying connecting via LAN cable between two routers and use the AP mode to extend wireless coverage.
EDIT:
But...playing around with the firmware seem to indicate WDS is hidden and might work.........


I wonder if it will work? Problem is = I don't have spare router to test.....

Yeah only AP mode found.
Wow, mind to teach how to activate it? 

Inspect source?

voncrane, can you test if WDS really works?

Thanks for the video, it successfully saved my wifi but at internet tab keep saying WAN is not connected no matter I choose Static IP or Dynamic IP.
Maybe is there any other stuffs related?

Having not much knowledge on networking so hope someone will eventually enable it.

Well, my guinea pig, you gonna be my test subject.

Of course there are other settings you need to do.

Please follow the instruction at page 96 and 97

EDIT:
There is hidden 5Ghz WDS page too, did you test with 2.4ghz? 

Seems like WDS can't activate simultaneously for both 2.4G and 5G.


Currently bridging 2.4G and the WDS status is showing 'Run'
[attachmentid=9907851]

I did try both Wifi and LAN, able to surf no problem.

Haven't try 5G yet because my main router is broadcasting on channel 149.
I read some post previously can enable more 5G band, same method?

And the DHCP is acting weird as it won't follow my main router's setting, it just simply give my device an IP.
Btw these keyword below for easy searching:
2g_wds_status
5g_wds_status

EH? So fast....I was playing with microsoft paint to let you know where is the status of WDS.....

K lah...tell me....does WDS works?
Need to disable secondary router DHCP server.

Keep the primary router (the one with WAN access) DHCP server active.

WDS showing 'Run", but my device won't follow the assigned IP from main router.

However, the internet runs fine, so consider it successful?

Strange......did you disable the secondary router DHCP server?

Yes, I disabled DHCP on the C1200 as per instruction.


Now I got 3 devices connected to the C1200, but the wireless statistics page only show my main router and iPhone.
PC via LAN, iPhone via Wifi 2.4G

Btw restart won't affect those setting.

Guess have to continue explore tomorrow.

What kind of IP assigned to your devices after you connect at secondary router (c1200)?
Just wanna know how 'weird' the IP might be......


Well, I still think it is better for you to setup WDS using 5ghz (more bandwidth and less interference) as backhaul instead of 2.4ghz 
Oh, please enable 5ghz TX Beamforming too. I saw you didn't enable it in your previous screenshot.
Here a funny thing, there is hidden 2.4ghz TX Beamforming too. One can enable it, but I am not sure if beamforming works for 2.4ghz.

My main router DHCP range is 192.168.0.200 ~ 230.
But I assigned my PC to .10 and iPhone to .20.

When connect via C1200, is will assign me the IP from the DHCP pool from my main router, example: 192.168.0.218
That's why I find it strange because I got another repeater (Xiaomi router mini) and it will give me my assigned IP from main router (.10).

Found some info regarding 5G channels at LEDE forum thread, have to take time to read.
