Yes.. It's free advertising.

I'm using AUS firmware.. No problems with wifi or Hypptv. Vlan tag it properly and should be okay.  You probably meant 5 Ghz channels?? Possibly.

C1200 V1 with EU Firmware is all good except it auto random reboot itself every few days. many user here experience this.

once you upgrade to EU Firmware, there is no turning back, you can not go back to TM Firmware.

less 5ghz channels. i would advise you to change to better router if you're an intermediate and heavy user. if for streaming hd videos on youtube, less downloads, browsing, then c1200 will suit you.

50mbps, 2.4ghz is fine... ethernet or wifi... if yr router is performing.

download... dunno what DL u mean, but p2p, it depends on seeds and peers.

if good enough, u should get max 50/8=6.25MBps, maybe 6.5 at times.

if poor seeds/peers... poor, zero even.

if u r consistently getting poor DL speed with wifi, u gotta think another router.

That speed is good la... apa lagi mau?!

On the other hand, you could use C1200 as wireless repeater (with EU firmware) to cover deadspot/weak signal area in your house after buying new router........

AUS fw here and I believe it's wired AP to wireless mode..

Oh crap, I think I better rephrase it. My mistake. I shouldn't call it as wireless repeater.

There is no WDS mode (wireless bridging). There is only AP mode via LAN cable. I was saying connecting via LAN cable between two routers and use the AP mode to extend wireless coverage.
EDIT:
But...playing around with the firmware seem to indicate WDS is hidden and might work.........


I wonder if it will work? Problem is = I don't have spare router to test.....

Inspect source?

voncrane, can you test if WDS really works?

Well, my guinea pig, you gonna be my test subject.

Of course there are other settings you need to do.

Please follow the instruction at page 96 and 97

EDIT:
There is hidden 5Ghz WDS page too, did you test with 2.4ghz? 

EH? So fast....I was playing with microsoft paint to let you know where is the status of WDS.....

K lah...tell me....does WDS works?
Need to disable secondary router DHCP server.

Keep the primary router (the one with WAN access) DHCP server active.

Strange......did you disable the secondary router DHCP server?

What kind of IP assigned to your devices after you connect at secondary router (c1200)?
Just wanna know how 'weird' the IP might be......


Well, I still think it is better for you to setup WDS using 5ghz (more bandwidth and less interference) as backhaul instead of 2.4ghz 
Oh, please enable 5ghz TX Beamforming too. I saw you didn't enable it in your previous screenshot.
Here a funny thing, there is hidden 2.4ghz TX Beamforming too. One can enable it, but I am not sure if beamforming works for 2.4ghz.

  That is definitely strange, probably it just a WDS incompatibility / interoperability between vendors.
About those 5ghz channel.........
I posted my experience in gaining back channels 149 - 165 from few pages ago..... good luck,  you might want to use LAN cable for the setting up.....

Thanks for being my guinea pig on WDS testing, love ya.    bye.

If you are successful with ssh+root+modified config.bin+openssl+zlib+uci+reload etc, you will be greeted with :


Will await your progress report. 

btw.. It can't get the internet from the main router
using Wireless Bridging for NTP right?

I have 2 C1200, one in MY firmware using as router & modem and one EU firmware using as repeater. IPV6 disabled. DHCP only on for main router.

I tried using the 5G WDS and it works just fine for my laptop (almost no drop in speed when wired to repeater) but the problem is with my android's wifi connection it's really unstable  . It connects some times but most of time hanging at obtaining ip

I have 4 different SSID the phone can connect to the main SSIDs just fine but not with the repeater's. It can authenticate but just keeps hanging at obtaining ip. Even if I use static ip(tried both inside and outside the dhcp pool) on my android it will connect but no internet . Whereas my laptop seems to connect steadily with the 2.4G, couldn't try with the 5G though

I did some search and some say SSIDs have to be the same for WDS bridging. Is that true  ? Tried to assign same SSID for the 5G wifi but problem still happens with the android. I'm guessing it's a discrete case for my android because I'm using unofficial rom. Will try with other phones and laptop in the future.

btw @JohnLai how to show the WDS mode 1 and 2 in inspect element?
