No need to waste time and energy. Just go to your nearest IT retail stores, go to the networking section of the shop and purchase a decent wireless router of your choice. Simple and you got more control over your network gear.

I can suggest few IT retail stores namely Sri Komputers, Viewnet and All IT Hypermarket.

I can do that by walk in IT stores, but main concern is the financial issued to purchase new router.
Plus the router not so cheap at all, randomly purchase still need at least 100 buck or above..

Unless there is available for router less than 100 buck.. (which is impossible.. )

If the budget is too tight for you, you can have a look on lowyat garage sales (Networking) section or facebook marketplace to opt for second hand routers.

Hi, hope to get some help to set up C1200 WDS bridge. I have read page 1 all the way thru to page 49. Especially read page 29.
I just got unifi and have changed my primary router to deco M9 (only 1 unit). Instead of buying another deco M9 to create a mesh, I thought of using the C1200 since the coverage is quite good except blindspot at the back of the house (just to cover 2 cctv, not for other usage).

The C1200 i got is 1.0.0 Build 20180403 rel.22124 (EU). I did not flash any FW yet. Using inspect sources, I managed to see WDS option in 5Ghz, enable that, survey and select my deco m9 (channel 149). I disabled DHCP, changed C1200 LAN IP to 192.168.68.2 to match m9 192.168.68.1

I did not change the IPv4 internet connection type (still the original PPPoE). I have disabled IPv6.

In Status, WDS status: Assoc
Rebooted C1200 and I tried to connect to the 2.4Ghz ssid but it cannot connect, failed to obtain IP address.

What did I do wrong? Did I miss a step? My WDS status is not showing Run.
Do I need to flash another EU FW? Or is it C1200 cannot connect to m9? I was not able to find info on how to change m9 5Ghz channel to 36-48. It does have a 44 channel but if I click Survey and choose this, WDS won't connect.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

In your main deco 9 router, for Channel selection did you fixed it to a particular channel before you survey for channel in your wds router?

Problem is deco only can control thru deco app I think. And I can't find option to fix channel.

That could explain the reason why you're not getting Internet thru the wds router. Your deco M9 probably automatically and randomly assign a channel depending on the interference in your area.

Best you purchase another piece of M9 to build a mesh wifi.

Can share where you found wds option in 5ghz?

Read page 29. You need to use inspect sources. Ie look into html code and change the wds display "none" and delete it. I watched the video and follow step by step.

Hi Sir,

We suggest getting another Deco series product for the best WiFi experience. Our entry level Deco E4 or Deco M3W is compatible with Deco M9 Plus.

The WDS feature C1200 is unable to have any repeater function.

Thanks.

Thanks. Already bought M9. Now house fully covered. Going to sell the C1200. Any takers?

Have to try your luck elsewhere.. Here we all know how crappy that model can be Kudos on getting the house fully covered.

Hai...haha

Glad you took my advice. 🤗

It's crappy if use as a router. But others like me have found a good use for it either as an AP or as a WDS. In my case after flashing to US firmware, the WDS function with 5GHz as backhaul and wifi has made my whole house connected with fast internet. 😁

5GHz as backhaul meaning the SSID it broadcasts is the 2.4GHz one, right? Or the other way around?

You can use the 5GHz concurrently for backhaul link to main router and for wifi broadcast to your devices.

In my case, i changed the 5GHz wifi ssid to be different from the main router ssid. This way i will know my device is connected to which router.

Model: TP-Link Archer C1200
Hardware Version: V1
TIME: 500mbps package

Hi ... can I remotely control thru TP-link "Thether App" from my mobile phone when I'm out of wifi range or I am different location.

If possible to do it, how can I set it to remotely control thru my phone on the Thether app.

Hope to receive feedback on the matter above. Thanks in advance.

Chill fam.. I'm one of those too.. Whole place covered by two C1200s.. Wired AP.. Combo of stock TIME and EU fw.. I'm a happy camper now..

Hi there,

Please be informed that our routers customized by ISP do not support the Tether app.

What about multicast? I just change to time and given ec230 and the multicast is not working. My whole sonos system that rely on multicast don't work. Can flashing EU firmware alevate this?
