Windows 10: Why does ACT ISP in Delhi use Beta firmware on TP Link routers?

DOes Extreme IX on ACT ISP using TP Link Beta firmware cause corrupt Windows Android Devices?


Why does ACT ISP in Delhi use Beta firmware on TP Link routers?


I'm sayng this because two of my windows PCs haver been losing time location settings, have been randomly rebooting at odd times after update to winver 19042.867 and the Speed test from Ookla and Google shows an Extreme IX ISP when I'm actually on ACT?

TP-Link Poweradaptor not compatible with Windows 10

If you contact TP-Link support you might find there's a beta firmware update available.

I had a similar problem with a new router...

 

TP-Link Intros TL-WDR4300 N750 Wireless Router

Not sure which routers you had, but I have the TP-Link TL-WR941ND (TL-WR941ND | 450Mbps Wireless N Router | TP-Link). I've used the stock firmware for 2 months and it was working very well. No random restarts or drop of connection. DD-WRT was flashed onto the router after that and it's been working superbly for a year. Problems with the stock firmware might have showed up by now, but no way to know atm. Many Newegg reviews mentioned wireless connection failure after 2 years. Hopefully I won't run into that problem.

It's my first TP-Link router, so I can't generalize on their quality, but I am impressed so far. The TP-Link TL-WN722N USB adapter (TL-WN722N | 150Mbps High Gain Wireless USB Adapter | TP-Link) has been working well for me as well.

 

Change TP Link Modem into Bridged Router

The line is still under optimization and i am not allowed to unplug it to do the tests , i have already dug out a couple of old modems to act as the VDSL for the test but i still cant do it until the company says so LOL

@jimbo45 & @x509
Believe it or not i have tried DD-WRT long ago , there are few reasons why to go DD-WRT of these are the abilities to use channels like channel 13 in regions that deny it , funny that routers' firmware persist that my region denies it and yet my region don't even know what channel 13 is , also over-riding fair neighbor policy , which downgrades you from 40 MHz range to 20 MHz range if there were more than 5 routers active in area . Both of these insure minimum interference hence max speed . As for privacy the TP Link firmware still has a plus , you see the majority of hacks now adays revolve around exploiting the router : bringing it down , changing settings or acquiring password even . The problem is that this is not even done by a few , there are now several forums and dedicated websites that constantly posts exploits per brand / router / installed firmware and DD-WRT is no exception , the only thing that i like about TP Link's firmware is that they managed to learn the lesson and now have this option for you to edit the modem's MAC address , this is very useful as the exploiter try to scan MAC addresses by range trying to identify victims of certain brand or model they have a new exploit for to try , switching your device to a random / different brand's address might actually save you the hassle by filtering you out the scan . This back then wasn't the case with DD-WRT , I remember I had an attack that the exploiter kept changing my admin password right after i set it after every reset until i managed to revert back to stock . They might have fixed that exploit or implemented MAC address change but I haven't tested it since .

Thanks for the suggestion but this modem is not available in my region sadly .
