Hi folk, just got the free AC1200 from TIME as well. I was planning to repurpose it as an wired AP, but am I right (based on reading this thread) to conclude that in order to achieve that, I have to flash the EU firmware found at EDIT7 in the first post?

Bearing in mind that if I do so, I will end up with limited 5 GHz channels unless I SSH into the router and replace a config file (haven't quite understood the complete steps yet).

Others have said that flashing the EU firmware meant I can't go back to the TIME firmware, but based on the comments in the first post, that is no longer the case right?
Meaning, I should be able to flash the original TIME firmware from the upgrade page of the EU firmware.

Any other steps that I missed, or should be aware of?

Wired AP?
No need to flash firmware 😎

Enable DHCP server for main router A and disabled DHCP server for router B. Make sure everything (Wifi for example?) is configured for router B

Connect main router A (LAN port 2) to router B (LAN port 1) via CAT5e/6 cable and be done with it.

Awesome news. Thanks JohnLai. In that case, what is this other AP feature that requires the EU firmware?

FYI for those using latest Time firmware available from TP-Link MY, the WPA password field only supports up to 60 characters instead of 64 mandated by the standard. I ran into this issue when trying to revert from EU to Time firmware.

Mine is somehow stuck at 32 characters maximum (the UI doesn't allow me to enter more). I would love to have 60 characters available lol.
