Archer C7 V4 where to see up time, can not find it.

TP-Link have resources to make C1200 Firmware good, it must be intentional if they don't do it.

was wandering, why my Archer C1200 system log after i delete all, some item will keep showing after some time, from time to time.

why Archer C7 V4 after delete all, maintain empty all the time.

Ha Ha C1200 is (Best Unifi router) self reboot champion.
Archer C7 is "Hot" router, but i find it running cooler then C1200.

for sure it will reboot itself at unknown time for unknown reason. because it is C1200.

Ooh, Tp-Link Archer C1200 sold outside is V3, not V1 that is why no self reboot issue.

C1200 V1 with EU Firmware is all good except it auto random reboot itself every few days. many user here experience this.

once you upgrade to EU Firmware, there is no turning back, you can not go back to TM Firmware.

do you mean changing power adapter or changing power socket?

Archer C1200 comes with 12V 1A power adapter,
Archer C7 V4 comes with 12V 2A power adapter,

i tried both on Archer C1200 router before, self reboot still occur, seems reboot is not due to power adapter.

Archer C1200 V1 (TM supplied unit) can not be saved at this moment with all version of FW,

with limited budget, best option is to get Archer C7 V4. it will give you totally trouble free operation. System log will have nothing to show after many days or weeks because totally no problem encounter.

I got mine from Lazada, EIT store for RM 330 after voucher.

You just confirm with seller what version before placing order most likely is V4.

I have recently purchase Asus RT-AC68U (T-Mobile refurbished) RM290+ at Taobao, the original Unit selling at Malaysia around RM900. see This Link. for the condition of the set i received.

This Router with 111 Awards is very good performance, can upgrade to many third party firmware as well. recommended (if you dont mind refurbish unit).

With dual core processor, performance sure better then TP-Link Archer C7 V4

PS. Click the red color wording will take you to the link. (just for those who don't know ).

Did a search on topic "router security" and first page will find: -

PCworld.com
"Avoid using routers supplied by ISPs".

tomsguide.com
"If your router is given to you by your internet service provider [ISP], you don't want to use"

routersecurity.org
"Many people use the device given them by their Internet Service Provider (ISP) which I think is a bad idea"

See attached, I can confirm that, before i update Archer C1200 firmware to Aus version, it has back door and on my Network Location, there are many unknown PC. after update, all gone.

now i will not use TM router as main router again, use it as AP or bridge is ok.

Many others are saying not to use router provided by ISP, is there any reason for that?

yes i setup my self, but nearly everything default, firewall sure is default setting. dont know why fail the test.

no error message, green mean it response to ping from outside, red mean it ignore.
