TP link. archer c80 firmware upgrade experience and feedback


I am using TP link Archer c80 that was bought 6 months ago.

Please include the following features in your router product,

To save the SSID WiFi network configurations along with username, PSA password decrypted and stored in the device or cloud to reload or reconfigure due to firmware upgrade

Please include a feature to auto configure the router to its previous working state whenever there is a firmware upgrade is performed via the details stored in the device or from cloud.  In case of reconfigure through  cloud storage them prompt for password to retrieve the configuration file.

Also, enable the complete network configuration details including the password as QR code.  When such we code is scanned through a mobile device then a OTP mode authentication could be used to connect to wifi from different devices.

Also, provide feature to store configuration in users cloud space like Google drive or cloud.

Also, enable detection of printers from the router via discovery protocol through the connected computers. This enables easy network printers to be configured at home.

Please, include a standard export or import or discovery through which the connected or previously defined network MAC ids are used to auto reconfigure or rename the SSID in the connected devices like mobile , computers when a firmware upgrade or SSID is altered by the user .  This means the OS network and internet configuration protocol or APIs are auto informed of the changes.  The user is able to use the router, the connected devices, network with only one time configuration when the product is first configured.

I recently upgraded the router firmware where in it took 30 minutes to an hour to reconfigure because of Hide SSID option being selected...  

The guest network and adding of devices can be categorised as Home or Family device, Visitors device, Guest devices, Friendly devices and so on... Any devices added to the network can be added with OTP authentication apart from password string or token or public or private keys.

The above features would make like easier for the customer's and the users of the router.....

What do we think or say about this idea?
