Now using Archer C1200(EU)_V1_1.1.4 Build 20220517 so far so good.

I tried to flash from stock TM firmware to EU build 20220517 firmware. now stuck at 3% for half an hour. I don't think this is normal. do you encounter the same thing? how long does it take to flash?

EDIT: it's bricked. now only WPS light illuminates upon power up.cry.gif how to recover?
EDIT2: flashed again in recovery mode (manually set IP address). now ok.

Should be less than 5 minutes, but connected internet less than 10 minutes.

Previously I flashed the firmware, but didn’t check my of router password, so TM technician came by. I didn’t use the Chrome Inspector to open the developer tools. He said why your actual login interface looks different. I acted blurted only & no extra charges on next bill.

manage to enter recovery mode. I flash stock MY firmware, dated 23-8-2021. failed at 40 percent. doh.gif flash again with EU firmware, dated 180124. flash success.

I have a look at the WDS mode on the C1200. after scan, I see WEP security for the scanned wifi access points. is WDS limited to WEP? isn't WEP too old and not secured? not safe to use in this modern world?
I have an old ASUS 802.11n router (used in old school streamyx era) that also support WDS, but I'm not using it because I see WEP. I'm surprised the much modern TPLink also use WEP.

Yeah, literally WDS is limited to WEP & also WEP is insecure encryption. WPA/2/3 indeed provides better security.

if I buy a modern router with ranger extender mode (example Tenda AC6, TPLink Archer C54), it is not using WEP for the connection to host router. right?
