E1200i Arabic: Firmware !full!

Introduction: Important Warnings

Before proceeding, it is vital to understand exactly what this firmware is to avoid "bricking" (destroying) your router.

2. First Impressions & Installation

Language & UI Experience

Boot screen & setup wizard – Fully Arabic from first boot. No English placeholder text. RTL alignment works well in menus, but some advanced sections (port forwarding, VLAN settings) revert to LTR or mix directions.
Translation quality – 7/10. Main labels are accurate, but deeper pages have inconsistent phrasing (e.g., “Enable Wireless” translated literally instead of using standard tech jargon).
Admin panel speed – Slightly slower than English firmware due to RTL rendering overhead on older hardware.

4. Performance & Stability

Wi-Fi & Throughput

2.4 GHz: Max link ~300 Mbps (real-world 50-80 Mbps in Cairo apartment with interference).
5 GHz: 867 Mbps theoretical, actual 250-350 Mbps at 5 meters.
No difference from global firmware in speed. Stability: 7-day uptime without reboot – fine.
