Just got Unifi installed, it came with the firmware 1.0.0 Build 20180403 rel.22124 (EU) . So if I were to update the firmware, which firmware will be the best for me? I thought I would use the Unifi firmware but since I got the router in EU firmware. Should I just continue to use the EU firmware? Thanks

After few weeks in "dead" state (no Internet, no Wifi, no response), I turned it on again to claim new router from TM. Suddenly it's healthy again!

As I've already put another router in its place, it's now destined as first floor AP (family area & daughter's room) to replace a D-Link DIR-850L. Pray the best for its second life.

Currently my pc does not install Firefox.   If use Google chrome can edit it?

This method edit is it temporary one?
However if the router been restart or shut down, then the SSID name behind @unifi appear again, am I right?

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. 😁

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.

I tried and nope.. You must be connected to a compatible tplink router for the Tether app to work.

We are saying the same thing. Forummer asked about being able to use the Tether app OUTSIDE the TP-Link router's network. That's a no.

Hi guys, I used `C1200v1_eu_time-up-boot-1.0.0-Build-20180502-rel.45702` firmware to flash my C1200 V1.0, but the login page isn't accepting any combination of username or password. I've tried admin/admin, admin/password/ admin/*old password* etc, and nothing works. Factory reset multiple times, and it still isn't letting me in. Any ideas?

my D-Link DIR-850L came with unifi installation still working well after 22months 24x7 uptime, probably i got the good silicon lottery.

D-Link DIR-850L only have internal WiFi Antenna, the WiFi Coverage was pretty limited.

TP-Link doesn't disappoint customers in releasing crap + trash wireless router. I'm amazed by the TP-Link fanboys or they just don't know there are better routers out there for the same or lower price.

On the side note if you want a rock solid router or wireless router, go for MikroTik. 6 months uptime also no problem, you can bet your money on it.

Yes, compatible with UniFi & HyppTV, Maxis, TIME. You can even have all 3 simultaneously running off one Mikrotik if you wish.

You can consider MikroTik hAP ac2 for home use, it's suitable for 500 Mbps unifi subscription plan. Based on the technical specifications hAP ac2 is a 2x2 spatial stream wireless router. For a 2x2 wireless router the maximum theoretical bandwidth you can get is 866.7 Mbps if your device is also a 2x2 spatial stream wireless device and in real world performance you'll get around 650 Mbps in an open air and close to the router condition considering if the CPU is powerful enough. But the hAP ac2 CPU is not powerful enough to achieve that kind of wireless speed so you'll only possible to get around 400 Mbps even though with 866.7 Mbps link speed.

If your unifi subscription plan is 800 Mbps then probably you should consider MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM. This router is powerful enough to future-proof your home network or office network for the coming 5 or maybe 10 years if in the future our internet plan is upgraded to 2 Gbps or 4 Gbps, if only lah. But you have to add your own access point though because it's not a wireless router. For that you can consider MikroTik cAP ac or access points from vendors like Ubiquiti Networks for home use or Aruba Networks for enterprise use if your clients are a lot, like 100 to 200 concurrent clients connect to one access point.

Yes, it is. The same OS is in all Mikrotik routers from the RM50 ones to the RM10000 ones. Yeah, I know, it doesn't look pretty. Not many design elements, just information. I'm using the hAP AC2 with UniFi 800Mbps. It's very powerful for a RM300 router.

One thing though, Mikrotik's wifi tend to suck. The C1200 beats the hAP AC in wifi performance.

AVOID consumer-grade router at all cost. I get myself with an Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter ER-6P and I am going to be an ex-asus user after I receive my ubiquiti unit.

THanks for the information. Need to setup again which I dont remember how
Anyhow, since I'd placed the aluminium foils (from baby packaging) on top of my router. Now even diff floor also I can get stable 5ghz signal. Unbelievable

[attachmentid=10527244]
main router at upper floor. Router hanging in the wall in the middle of the house

[attachmentid=10527245]
ground floor putting on the side

I use 100plus can, cut into half semi-circle.
The signal is stronger than aluminum foil. (thicker I guess).

The antenna coverage is 360 degree. By doing this, you boost all the signal to the front 180 degree.
This is effective especially your router is placed at the corner of your house/condo.

Yes, will significantly increase the WIFI speed at signal weak area.( i.e. 2-3 bars)

Just wanna say kudos to those who contributed here. Helped me setup the otherwise useless router from TM to act as a repeater.

I am on unifi 100 as well! I have managed to get my whole 4800sqf house covered with 5ghz of bandwidth at speed of more than 100 Mbps with just two nobes. Amazing! ....

Yes bro. The 5ghz is smashing but i don't set up dual bands!
