Hi,
My router Archer AX50 v1.0 firmware version 1.0.5 Build 20200109 rel.36848(5553).
Questions:
1. Do I have the latest firmware? The link provided in one of your posting doesn't have any firmware to download.
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/archer-ax50/#Firmware
2. Sometimes, my mobile app "Tether" is not able to connect to my Archer AX50 and I needed to reboot the router and then it is okay.
3. Sometimes when I tried to remote login, via openvpn, was successful in connecting through openvpn but the tplink Archer AX50 would sometime ask me to create password as if my first time login or setup. After rebooting it is okay again.
Rgds,
Christopher

@Kevin_Z I'm having the same issue... I'm having to manually reboot my router almost daily.
Even scheduling it to reboot daily is not reliably working. Sometimes it comes back up, sometimes not...
I'm running 1.0.5 Build 20200109 rel.36848(5553) on my Archer AX50 v1.0
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks

I also bought the TP-Link AX50 router, knock on wood, its been working fine for weeks without rebooting but i did change a couple of settings on the router and also i have the router wall mounted with the LAN ports oriented on the right.
on the review site below you can see a PCB with heatsink pic of the AX50
i think the reason why its rebooting and having wifi issues and resetting is mostly due to heat.
the heatsink is just not tall or big enough to soak up the heat generated by the chip, so by orienting or wallmounting the router it will increase the area of heatsink the heat can soak into.
I also set following wifi settings on the router
2.4Ghz
OFDMA > ON
Smart Connect > OFF
SSiD > what ever you like
SECURITY > WPA/WPA2 personal
Version > WPA2
Encryption > AES
Mode > Mixed
Channel W > 40 Mhz
Channel > 8
Transmit Power > High
Airtime Fairness > CHECKED
5Ghz
OFDMA > ON
Smart Connect > OFF
SSiD > what ever you like
SECURITY > WPA/WPA2 personal
Version > WPA2
Encryption > AES
Mode > Mixed
Channel W > Auto
Channel > 64
Transmit Power > Low ..... i don't have any other device that can do 5ghz except my phone
Airtime Fairness > CHECKED
System Tools
Traffic Monitor > OFF
System Parameters
2.4Gz and 5Ghz same settings
Beacon Interval > 90
RTS Threshold > 2307
DTIM > 3
Group Key Renewal > 300
Above are my settings for now, and its been stable.
I do hope if TP-Link does a revision of the AX50, they add a bigger heatsink. but i think the design/casing won't allow it.

@CHIBOMAN Mine seems to get high cpu after a few hours and eventually just craps out...
I can't ssh into it or anything to see what process is killing the device :/

@MrBen disable the Traffic Monitoring on the TP-Link, it uses alot of CPU & MEM on the router, so much so that i think that the Traffic Monitoring causes the router to have low MEM and sometimes crashes/freezes the router and you need to reboot it to clear the MEM.

@CHIBOMAN thanks for the tip... I had already disabled that, as I'm trying to go with minimalist config to see If I can get this things stable. I decided to pop the cover off, and let it run with better air circulation for a few days. We'll see if that helps any. Seems like nice hardware, just wish I could ssh in or something to see I I an help troubleshoot the sofrware issues.

I have the exact same issue. The wifi connected devices stop connecting to internet. The LAN connected devices remain connected to internet (otherwise the smartthings would alert me). The wifi itself seems to accept new connections and assign IPs, but no routing. The tplink webconsole asks for new pwd. I checked the device logs and no entries there. Seems like a corruption or overflow situation. All LEDs are solid green when this happens. Time for a new firmware?
