Yesterday, I installed different network analysis tools and noticed that my ISP's modem and the TP-Link Archer C4000 V1 (Archer A20 v1.0) router shared many channels.

In result, I performed the following modifications, and so far, things seem to be working well (already for months)

 

  1. Changed channel width from auto to 20 MHz.
  2. Changed channel from auto to 1.
  3. Set up the Reboot schedule to every week.

 

If something will still malfunction, I will consider adjusting the Version, Encryption and Mode, but for now, I will leave them with the default settings.

Alternatively, I will give a call to my ISP to modify some of the modem's settings, since I do not have the access to its control panel.

Great finding, that's why we suggest you run a Wi-Fi analyzer to check out whether there are too much interferences in the network. I hope this will help fix the disconnect issue in your network.

The new official firmware which optimizes the wireless performance will be available soon, so you can try the beta version we provided here to check if the issue is fixed. We do receive some customer's feedback that the issue was fixed with the beta firmware by disabling the Onemesh feature on the Archer C6. So give it a try if you still keep your Archer C6.

@Kevin_Z Which is that beta firmware? As far as I know disabling OneMesh feature is not available with this version.

You can find it on the first page of this thread, which is marked as a Recommended Solution (#549).

It doesn't help.

 

What are the other options?

The problem is that the (EU) version has less flash memory than the (US) version and fewer features such as making correction and adding new functions if the flash memory is smaller.

@Lucasm 
If that would be the case, then alternative firmwares like OpenWrt would have the same problem, which they don't. It is clearly their inability to trace the bug in encryption, while rushing to add unnecessary mesh functionality. They probably just abandoned the issue, since it has several years of lifetime now, and it is cheaper for them just to move on.

@vikiP my C6 is in the recycle bin months ago. Every firm was worse than before.
