I can confirm @heidarren statement is true about flashing  C1200 router (EU firmware) to US firmware. Need to first flash to the firmware as listed in Edit 7 of your first page. After flashing to the beta version you'll be able to then flash to US firmware.
Yes i do find the 5G signal much stronger after flashing to US firmware. Surprisingly the 5G signal is even stronger than 2.4G signal behind one wall at 10 feet away from the router.

US firmware do have the capability for WDS. I'm using mine with 5G as backhaul and also 5G as SSID wifi. Just follow @JohnLai advice in page 29.

For the power supply, i tried both the stock power supply and one with 12V/2A output. I find that the wifi signal output is the same strength. Stability not sure yet but I'm testing the router flashed with US firmware using stock power supply. Will see how long it remains before it reboots?

So firstly I will need to flash to the EU firmware (already did), after that flash to US firmware and the repeat the same process for WDS. Am I right?

Dear Sifus, any suggestion on which wifi channel should I use for 5G? Previously I set my original router to 48 due to the EU firmware. Should I stick with channel 48 or switch to Auto? Thanks.

Wah, thanks all sifus, very impressive speed using US firmware, previous I am getting up to 160Mbps near to the wireless bridged router. And getting around 100 Mbps around my kitchen area. Now I am getting 200Mbps close to the router and >160Mbps almost every location I have tested including kitchen area. THANKS!!!!

Aspick , heidarren and eugenecctan = Any random reboot issue encountered after flashing USv1 firmware? Remember to report back.

Second question........did you guy try to flash USv2 or USv3 firmware to the EUv1 hardware? From previous posts made by you three, it appears flashing USv1 firmware to EUv1 hardware work perfectly. But, how about USv2 and USv3? hmm.gif

I am using the US firmware listed in page 1 edit 10. I believe is US v1, I never try out v2 or v3. So far very stable, I am using original 1A adapter in WDS mode with 2.4G disable.

My router did not encounter reboot for 3 days straight. Unfortunately on day 3, my house electricity went down temporarily so will have to restart the test again.

Dare not try USv2 or USv3 worried it'll brick my router which is the only one I have to supply wifi to whole of my 1st flr (main router on grd flr). Maybe some brave soul here can try and report back.... 😂

The C1200 used to be my home router. Beside the super long boot time & occasional need for reboot, it was quite stable, decently fast & decent coverage. Now running as upstair Wifi AP, I'm happy with it. You can get 350 mbps Wifi speed close by, and 80 mbps after 3 walls. Still on stock firmware

The random reboot issue is still there even with latest branch of EU/US firmware, just not that frequent. Maybe one or two random reboots in a month?

Read the first page, first post.

JohnLai, seems the US firmware still has the random reboot issue. I think my router rebooted twice, once on the 3rd day then again on the 6th day.

Luckily, I'm using this as a WDS with only 1 or 2 devices connected to it intermittently.

This is really disappointing indeed. Guess C1200 is the black sheep of TP-Link quality control regardless of hardware and software revision.

I am facing a problem whereby access control whitelist activated in main router (TP Link C58HP). The WDS AC1200 will fail even though all MAC address (including PC connected) had been added into whitelist in main router. Anyone encounter the same?

Firefox ;

Login to the router, press F12, go to Network tab and keep it open.

Now, at the router configuration page, go to Advanced, Wireless, Wireless Settings.
Start with 2.4Ghz, directly click Save and pay attention to the latest stuff listed at Network.
Find select the correct stuff (forgot the name), go to Params, find your SSID name and edit out the @unifi, edit and resend.
Do the same with 5.0ghz?
