Be careful!
The Archer C5 (AC1200) is not the same as the Archer C1200!
The Archer C5 (v1) has a Qualcomm QCA9558 processor whereas the Archer C1200 has a Broadcom BCM47189B0.

Hello

Although I know that it is not a definitive solution, as a provisional measure to improve the stability of the router, I have tried to configure the 2G and 5G networks with WPA and TKIP (instead of WPA2 and AES) but the performance is very bad.

With WPA2 + AES the performance exceeds 170 Mbps
With WPA + TKIP the performance barely exceeds 20 Mbps

Probably because it has no HW acceleration for WPA + TKIP

Therefore this option is not a valid solution as provisional measure.

Regards.

I've been working closely with tp-link engineers and the 8th beta of firmware they provided to me last night seems to have resolved these issues.I'm sure a production release will be available soon after they finish QA.


Excellente, I hope this helps!

Glad to hear progress is being made. Did you initially contact them through the support.forum@tp-link.com or through the aforementioned Calvin? I would be interested in helping test any future betas.

can you ask if a similar solution is available for the D7 ? we have similar problems and multiple threads opened on this.

Well AC1200 is Archer C1200... now depending of the hardware version V1 vs V2 and V3 they have different processor.
Like you were saying the v2 and v3 have a Broadcom and is not supported by dd-wrt but the v1 has a Qualcomm and is supported.
Hope it make sense.

Is it still stable? Can you share the beta firmware with us and tell us for what hardware version it is?
Thanks.

From what I recall reading, I think the C1200 v1 was a simple rebranding of the C5 AC1200 v1.2 (don't quote me on that), which itself was either identical or similar to the C7.
