It is annoying that the Unifi supplied "D-Link DIR-842 Revision C" can't use our own SSID & stuck with xxxx@unifi

This guide is to remove that SSID restriction. ** USB Port are missing after the upgrade **
Disclaimer, do it on your own risk, your device's configuration will be lost after upgrade this firmware

Getting ready:
Download latest firmware from D-Link Malaysia (if failed this is the backup plan)
https://www.dlink.com.sg/dir-842/#firmware

Download latest firmware from D-Link.com
ftp://ftp2.dlink.com/PRODUCTS/DIR-842/REV...RE_v3.10B05.zip

Extract this file: DIR-842_REVC_FIRMWARE_v3.10B05.zip


Procedure for DIR series routers
1, Store a copy of the router firmware (.BIN) on the HDD of a local PC. Download the FW file ahead of time.
2, Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the LAN ports on the rear of the router and the network port on the local PC
3, Configure the PC with a static IP address other than 192.168.0.1 (e.g. 192.168.0.5)

4, Power down the router and unplug the power cord
5, Press and hold the reset button on the rear of the router for 3 to 5 seconds and re-plug the power cord without releasing the reset button
6, Continue to hold the reset button until the power light keeps blinking on and off. NOTE: For some DIR series, continue holding the reset button up to 10 seconds.
7, Open a web browser and enter the following address: http://192.168.0.1/
8, Wait for the D-Link Router Recovery Mode page to load (See below)

9, Using the Choose File button, select the router firmware stored on the local PC (DIR842C1_FW302b03_middle.bin) and then press Upload
10, After the firmware successfully loads, a Success page will display
11, If the Success page fails to display, then repeat steps 3 through 9

After the flash completed, login to 192.168.0.1 (admin & no password)
Click management , upgrade, select file "DIR842C1_FW310b05.bin". Press Upload sweat.gif


Good Luck thumbup.gif

My office is using TP-Link Archer C1200 and my hand is itchy and go to upgrade it to the latest Unifi version. The SSID comes with @unifi too. Fortunately, I was follow the link below and flash to global firmware.

Archer C1200(EU)_V1_180124
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4497511/all


Global version don't have @unifi behind the SSID. The web-UI interface is totally different compare to Unifi version. Unifi version don't has option to change to AP mode. So I was flashed to global version to change the TM router to AP mode because my office recently was installed a firewall router - Fortigate 60E. I have to replace the TM router as AP mode because this firewall router don't have wifi.

Alright, my friend already changed the firmware, to this firmware. About the reset one, the reset button at below of the router(C2). He already tried at wps button a few times, that is for model C1. Lolz..so, he saw at the bottom of its. After he successful update it, rebooting a bit faster than before. The wifi setting can permanently save it without need to save it many times if router reboot. Before this, he need to check the wifi setting for 2.4Ghz, sometimes default, sometimes look good. After update to this one, the wifi settings permanently save. So, for wifi stability of speed 5Ghz consistent, 2.4Ghz a bit stable in term of speed, before this the speed below 10 percent of speed package. by the way, he still using this default router for a moment before he changed the better one soon. What can expect tm router can do more biggrin.gif . SilentVampire already said, changed the default router one.

Just for sharing, a few setting gone:
NAT
USB File Sharing
Failover
