So many possibilities, but at least it works
Wondering why tp-link hide those setting

Will update back on 5G WDS once I did it

Btw, thanks a lot.

Thanks for being my guinea pig on WDS testing, love ya. bye.

If you are successful with ssh+root+modified config.bin+openssl+zlib+uci+reload etc, you will be greeted with :




Will await your progress report.

Forced my main router's 5G channel to 48 and it dos work like 2.4G.
So means both 2.4G and 5G WDS is definitely working on the router.

But the DHCP still acting weird but nevermind as long as the internet is working.

Plus I set the SSID on C1200 same as my main router and it does switch in between.
How do I know? Because when I walk downstairs and the IP change to main router assigned and IP become random when I walk back upstairs.
And if I am using xiaomi router mini as repeater, I won't get full upload speed. (currently on unifi 50mbps)

However the router won't sync NTP maybe it depend on WAN connection.

Read the private message (PM).

Let start the second experiment. Processes disabling session through mode selection.

Btw can this router support turbo unifi? @800MBps? Wish my area support this

Yes, but only on 5GHz, and its 5GHz coverage is honestly pathetic. Will recommend you get the Asus RT-ASC1300UHP, at the minimum, or go for the high-end routers.

Hello...

Last time I flash my router with beta firmware 1.1.1 Build 20180101 rel.66049 (EU).

Just now try to flash new TM firmware but can't use normal flash using browser.

So I tried flash using tfpd64 and it succeed to transfer file to router.


But after restart router, still old beta firmware with my setting (wifi,password etc intact).


Is it other way to flash back to stock firmware?

Errr........cause 5Ghz beamforming functionality is off by default for Malaysia and EU firmware?.....

If you check the review for c1200 5ghz https://www.digitalcitizen.life/review-tp-l...er-c1200?page=1 ....without beamforming activated, the performance is quite good.

There is something fishy with the 5ghz WAN (internet) to 5ghz wifi client result.
Cause Wireless 5Ghz <---> LAN results actually beat Asus AC58U if near the router.

I believe if beamforming function is activated, the downstream from the router will be higher and coverage will not be an issue.

*The random reboot though....darn it*

Conclusion : Buy new router and use C1200 as WDS.

Nope, there is no way to flash back. Why do you wanna flash back MY firmware?

Just want test new firmware

but using TFPD64 seem OK but nothing change.

Since you can't flash back MY firmware, might as well as flash this latest beta http://support.tp-link.com/f/3a82463172/?dl=1

~.~ You have nothing to lose anyway.

OK thank you.

Will try this one.

Random reboot is the key word here lol. Waste of time to even have anything to do with the router.

my c1200 v1 stopped randomly rebooting since a few weeks ago, but now it got hit with another annoyances: max cpu load and internet will drop for 10 to 20 seconds. zzz. happens about 3 to 5 times a day. annoying when gaming.

Yeah, random reboot is an issue, although for me is not much now with beta firmware. Unfortunately with beta firmware 5ghz sucks, and no going back. However, I have yet to try beamforming. Meanwhile Still waiting the time to buy ac3150 for sometime, just thinking with the current speed will be overkill, but at 800mbps will be another story.

I am using the C3150 v2 and it is really stable and the wireless coverage is one of the best out there.

Not sure the random reboot, or wifi drop for few second is impacting certain hardware/firmware, or norm across all. Cause some of friends using the same C1200 provided by TM do not complaint about this. I changed the router and keep in shelf now. New router very good.

Just curious why we facing reboot, wifi drop issue, but really some people not really having these issues. Will it cause by usage pattern, or connected devices?

Mostly usage pattern. Google Chromecast & Home UDP mdns issue was a special case.

As TP-Link engineers admitted, c1200 has tendency to auto-reboot once running out of memory.

Heavy utilization (a lot of connections especially from P2P protocols) of NAT table can cause the tiny 128 MiB RAM to fill up easily.


Or..........the firmware has some sort of hard to trigger memory leak.

Yeah, you recommended c3150 last time and about to pull the trigger but then after trying the beta firmware, it seems better in term of rebooting. And with only 100mbps a c3150 from my view is overkill. But with 800mbps may be will be worth it.

It will definitely be worth it. I will be upgraded to 300Mbps, which is more than sufficient to me, and the C3150 will be more than capable to handle it.
