I also face this issue, but tplink technical support tell me that there will be a firmware to resolve this issue asap.

And there is a temp solution for this : When you use PPPoE dial-up, please change it to Dynamic IP, and then back to PPPoE dial-up.

I have tested it works.

just curious, actually what is the difference between TM supplied C1200 v1 compare to C1200 v1 sold at Malaysia market?

do Marketed unit have this self reboot issue?
*
Exactly the same hardware inside/out with same issue.
You still have your C1200 v1 with EU firmware?
Can you send your backup config.bin to me privately?
I want test something.

Hi all.
Who has reboot issue try to change your power adapter.
Try to use 2A or 2,5A power adapter instead of 1A power adapter.
Maybe reboot issue will be gone.
Power adapter is not expensive.
*
No difference.

Can you reset your router, set some random wifi password and pppoe password, save.....then go to advanced, system tools, backup&restore, backup and send the copy of config.bin to me?

the australia firmware wifi power  for 2.4G/5G is very weak compared to unifi firmware

.....if you want to ask about the wifi power.....I need config.bin from router with TM Firmware before I can make a comparison. Need to determine whether it is hardcoded into firmware or can it be modified....

Have to go back and restart the router..

I personally blame TP-Link.
C1200 hardware is good. Too bad its firmware suck.

How do you hammer the router? 24/7 torrenting with unlimited connection? icon_idea.gif

As I feared. Root access is really mandatory.
TP-Link webui will accept config.bin with modified <country>MY</country> settings after sending the command below:

uci set wireless.eth2.country=MY
uci set wireless.eth3.country=MY
uci set wireless.eth2.channel=auto
uci commit wireless; wifi


and restarting the uci/uhttp server :

/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart

Only then a modified config.bin can be uploaded successfully through TP-Link webui.


EDIT:
Consider gaining root access? laugh.gif
Ubuntu live usb?

I got this beta FW dated 08-03-2018 from TP-Link forum, any one want to give it a try.
BETA FW
*
Updated on first page. Thanks.


edit:
C1200v1_eu-up-1.1.3 Build 20180124 rel.52299
OpenWRT build number r12067

C1200v1_eu-up-1.1.3 Build 20180308 rel.49551(Beta)
OpenWRT build number r13176

Flashing the 20180308 firmware results in 2.4Ghz wifi channel 12 and 13 missing.

Official EU firmware 20180124 "flash-firm"
CODE

 if [ "$fcc" = "1" ];then
  channel=$(($num%9+2))
 else
  channel=$(($num%13+1))
 fi


But the 20180308 beta
CODE

 if [ "$fcc" = "1" ];then
  channel=$(($num%9+2))
 else
  channel=$(($num%9+2))
 fi



Hmm? Seem like 20180308 adds Wake On Lan (WOL) feature.


Wireless driver and something about IPv6 being modified, but no idea what is being modified.
That all about it.




EDIT:
From my rooting experiment....
Apparently, after one commit uci wireless etc and upload edited config.bin with any one of channel 58, 106, 122 and 138 with 80Mhz, C1200 will use that channel just fine. However, TP-Link webui will display "AUTO(Channel 106)" (depending on channel specified in config.bin) and there is no way to select U-NII-2A and U-NII-2C channels at webui.

Do you have any idea what they edit will solve the random reboot problem?

if C1200 is not connected to modem, just by itself and let it power on, can we check it got random reboot problem?
*
Absolutely no idea to both of your questions.
But, didn't tplink said the reboot is caused by a lot of network packet (in google case, it was MDNS) in short time?
With the fix of discarding some of those packets to avoid overloading the router?
Maybe use iPerf --parallel 200 000 between two systems to hammer the router? laugh.gif

QUOTE(voncrane @ Mar 16 2018, 12:33 PM)
Parking, interested to read about more feedback on the beta firmware..

Nothing else. Give up on it. sad.gif

On the other hand, I must say...being the only user in the neighbourhood using channel 138 at 80Mhz works wonder with ssh + root + config.bin modification.

Hi guys...
How can I find out If the router C1200 was rebooted when I was not at home?
There is no option how long is router turned on in menu.
Thank you.

Get a computer/laptop connected to router via LAN and install Microsoft Message Analyzer.
My home PC server never turned off....so........this might not suit your requirement. ohmy.gif

this question was ask and answer before Click here to see.

Agree. The easiest method = check the router log time stamp. (make sure NTP is enabled, Time Settings)

If the router reboot itself, check the router log earliest time stamp that changed into actual time when NTP successfully synchronized.

Default time starting point is 2017-01-01 00:00:00 for 1.1.3 Build 20180124 52299 (EU). By checking the time stamp in the log where it synch into actual time, you will know when is the last time the router reboot itself.

Or use the mail function too? Auto mail every 1 hour. Then check the log on time stamp.

Performance more or less the same as official EU firmware.
Reboot part --> Unsure, as it still haven't reboot since I installed it yesterday...although with a bit wifi channel modification.....


Eh, how many 5ghz channel available for your new toys C3150v2 ? biggrin.gif

channel 36 and auto inclusive. tongue.gif . 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.

Can refer my personal review on this router here

hmm.gif
If you set 20Mhz, did channel 165 appear for C3150V2 laugh.gif ?
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. hmm.gif

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.

Just get Tenda if you are on a budget, or the TP-Link Archer C7 v4. TP-Link is actually ok, but it is just the one specific model, which is the C1200, which is shit.

After uploading the modified config.bin to the firmware, I still can't get SSH to work. It is Unifi latest firmware for ver 1.0.

I have confirmed the config is successfully uploaded by downloading after reboot the router.

Not sure about latest TM Unifi firmware, but did you add the line below into the config.bin?

The SysAccountLogin must be off.
Beside, remotessh must be under dropbear.
