Best way is to just get your own router!

Usb functionality?

JohnLai saviour has come.

Too bad the cheap 842 at the pc shop had been sold when I went to buy it last Sunday.

can use the USB HDD as usual. Basically it convert the Unifi D-link to stock firmware.

Sweet. You da man. Thanks.

Sorry I mixed up with TP-Link AC1200. The USB function is missing on D-Link 842 after the firmware upgrade...

It's okay... That sounds logical since hardware c1 doesnt have usb port. Ive similar experience flashing custom android roms on my samsung note. S pen no longer works when new firmware is flashed of course.

So confirm it's working @unifi is removed?
Maybe I can buy 2nd hand unit from others to set up as AP mode.

I Googled DIR842, since when there's a USB port?

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

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.

Revision C1 = no USB
Revision C2 = have USB support for HDD file sharing
Revision C3 = available in USA. No idea what are the changes.

So, after change the firmware, cannot using the usb port at all? my cousin using it to charge his old smartphone..lolz..

Lost this function after change the firmware. The USB port can use for phone charging at 450mA.

I see, thanks for the info will let him know about this one..Any improvement after the firmware changed?

Your own thread, u can just delete it, haha. Delete this post too.

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 . SilentVampire already said, changed the default router one.

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

very useful guide, tested working fine....

and the important thing is has removed the annoying "@unifi" wording

Hi, wat seem to go wrong? I cant login to 192.168.0.1 i failed at step 7.....

The reset button is at the bottom
