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?

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Oct 16 2018, 07:09 PM) 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?

QUOTE(charymsylyn @ Oct 14 2018, 09:06 PM) 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.
