Model: Archer AX12  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Build 20250523

Dear TP-Link Support Team,

 

I am writing to report ongoing issues with the TP-Link Archer AX12 router and to request urgent firmware improvements. The device continues to have weak coverage (especially 2.4 GHz), stability problems, and lacks essential features such as VPN server support and mesh compatibility.

 

Additionally, firmware updates for this model have been very limited, and the existing problems remain unresolved. I kindly request that TP-Link release continuous firmware updates to fix coverage issues, improve performance, and add the missing features.

 

Please look into this matter and provide a clear update on your plans for improving support for the Archer AX12.

  @Joseph-TP Dear brother, thanks a lot for your helpful reply. But I would say that as a TP Link's loyal customer, we need this router keep updating with new features and continuous firmware upgrades.

Hello @Rakib617 ,

Welcome to our community.

To improve WiFi coverage, please refer to the following suggestions:

1. Optimize Router Placement: Please refer to How to place your wireless router for optimal reception and performance

2. Adjust Router Settings:
• Log in to your router's web interface (http://tplinkwifi.net).
• Go to Advanced > Wireless Settings and set 'Transmit Power' to High for stronger signal output.
• In Wireless Settings, set the 2.4GHz channel width to 20MHz and the 5GHz channel width to 80MHz. Lower channel widths can help reduce interference.
• Try different Wi-Fi channels to avoid interference from neighboring networks.

 

 

Regarding the features you'd like to implement, I'm afraid I cannot directly provide a specific plan or release date, as we have not yet received any relevant notification. It is recommended that you initiate a poll in the Feature Request (Routers) board and attach your detailed feature requests.

 

Also, each firmware release includes Release Notes; please review them to confirm the new features and fixes in each version.
