Archer D5 crashing - is it the Google cast / MDNS problem?
Model : Archer D5
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version : 0.9.1 0.8 v002e.0 Build 150526 Rel.63088n
ISP : iiNet Australia
My Archer D5 has begun crashing over the last few weeks:
5Ghz Wifi disappears
2.4Ghz Wifi remains on, but usually no internet access
Ethernet/wired connections usually lose internet connection (not always)
Modem GUI usually not available.
Latest firmware installed.
Solved by reboot, works for a day, maybe two.
I have a Chromecast (not usually turned on), but no Google Home products. Several Android devices, all Android 7 or lower (no 8 / Oreo devices).
Is this the same Google cast / MDNS packet problem that is being reported across many TP Link (and other make) routers?
Will there be a firmware update (despite it being a "end of life" product? If not, anything that can be done to protect the modem from the problem?
Is the real fix going to come from Google?
