New Archer VR2100 keeps restarting every few hours

2020-06-28 19:02:00 - last edited 2021-01-19 06:50:59

Model: Archer VR2800

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.1.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 200116 Rel.60756n

I got a new Archer VR2100 (the model field doesn't have that listed so had to choose something similar) a couple of days ago and every few hours it seems to reboot. It certainly disconnects from both the internet and LAN and the wifi vanishes for a minute or so. I'm on BT Infinity.

When it reboots, the log time and date resets back to 2016-01-01 00:00:00, which makes things tricky to sort. However, here are some extracts (apology for length):

I tried both the older FW on the site, and some new beta firmware tech support sent me - neither worked, as the issue persisted.

Thats not good. I've tried setting mine to automatically reboot overnight at 3am in the hope that a forced restart might keep it running when I need it to be.

@deKay

I think my SNR might be too low, which, from what I've read, can cause disconnections and the modem to re-train if the SNR gets too low.

I'm on NBN / IINET.

Also seeing error packets in the downstream. Have changed phone cable, no change in behaviour.

For me it's now more like once or twice a day that it disconnects/re-trains

What SNR are you getting? Cany you share the beta firmware?

I should also add that:

I mentioned this to my ISP (IINET) and they said they did some 'reset' at their end yesterday to try to fix it
I reverted back to the original firmware which shipped with the unit.

I'm now almost 19 hrs without a disconnection, I'll keep you posted.

So far so good.

The only thing thats different is that my ISP 'reset' my connection(Whatever that is), because I said I had a new modem.

@naz_eg Only solution for me was send it back and buy something else, sadly.

@deKay

Just want to get back and update this.

It turned out that I had poor quality (old) telephone cabling in the house.

My ISP offered to send a technician out to have a look and made a few changes. (rewired 2 phone sockets / disabled 2 unused phone sockets)

Once this was complete, the line tested much better and I have not had any disconnections since.

So the modem is just particularly sensitive to poor quality lines.
