Any ideas how to solve TP-Link's C1200 v1.0 high CPU usage issue? Currently on 1.0.0 Build 20161115 rel. 42795 (EU) firmware. Which firmware is best for reducing the CPU usage since my network will slow down over time and goes to 0B/s whenever the CPU usage gets too high

But it comes with the @unifi SSID

802.11ax - there's pretty much no consumer device that supports this right now

For me, gaming routers are overpriced and gimmicky - for the same price I'd rather build a Mikrotik/enterprise network setup and it will eat that ASUS for breakfast in terms of performance, reliability and security

Of course, a traditional Ethernet connection will be much more reliable, provided that the router itself is not of rubbish grade

At the very least the firmware updates are quick enough - well with consumer routers it will take much longer to get patched or worst still gets abandoned for good in a short while

In fact the vulnerability is already patched back in 2017:

Well I do somewhat agree with you - the problem is that not all people are savvy enough to tinker with stuff like that. Not everyone has the skills to manually set up an enterprise grade system

Those people who tinker with such stuff will likely to represent a very small proportion of the total user base, and of course most people wanted ease of use in their products - and that's why Apple products are incredibly popular as Apple knows that ease of use is very important for the majority of consumers.

Of course, not all consumer routers are rubbish, and most routers from reputable brands are quite good (except those gimmicky ones like 'gaming' grade routers)

Same here

Well that is pretty disappointing if its true

Edit: lol

Any idea why IPv6 suddenly isn't working on my C1200? Currently on UniFi 100Mbps BTW

It used to be working a few days ago

Now it's working again

I don't know but I don't think so - still fingers crossed to see what will happen in the next few months

Not a bad thing TBH - I like it when people here will complain for almost everything

Faster speed = people complain
Lower price = people also complain


As long as people gets faster speeds, I don't really mind as long as they didn't try to do price hikes

BTW for those who wanted an internet only plan - SoyaCincau reports that the RM99 UniFi 30 plan will be Internet-only, but you may need to purchase your own router for that

https://www.soyacincau.com/2018/07/03/tm-ne...wireless-turbo/

But how do they determine their customer's income level? I don't think they will use info from LHDN or something

My thoughts exactly

I wonder whether my 100Mbps connection is going to be upgraded to the new UniFi Turbo plan for no cost

I know that 100Mbps is already overkill but hey any speed improvements are welcomed

Still need to find a decent router for that

...and surprisingly they'll just approve almost everyone out there - I know things like this are usually not enforced here despite it's written there

Is the whole UniFi website down? It appears that the servers have overloaded for some reason

...or it could be unlimited 'until further notice' with a 'cap' - remember the VIP days?

Well let's just hope that the speed race means cheaper routers and everything

Also I'm pretty sure people will just complain to TM about their new UniFi turbo plan cannot give them the advertised speed, notwithstanding the fact that they are using some old-ish equipment

Wasn't this will confuse the average consumer even more? I highly doubt the average consumer even knows what QoS and routing is

Should have no problem on your Gigabyte board, as long as you are doing it over Ethernet
