Archer C1200 V3 randomly reboots.
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hardware Version: Archer C1200 V3.0
Firmware Version: 3.0.6 Build 20200401 rel.71690 (US)
ISP: Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT)
Operation Mode: Access Point
My router stated above randomly reboots by itself without time pattern. It reboots even on light surfing, no large file download or not even gaming. All of the lights will suddenly turn off and the power light will flash and start by itself. I've tried hard resetting it for a couple of times. Did not change any of the settings aside from putting it on access point. The issue still occurs even on normal Router Mode.

so we have to Downgrade the firmware version to a Beta version. I thought 3.0.7 is upgraded and latest version?

I still notice Router reboot issues even after downgrading the Firmware to beta versions.
That concludes me not to get the tplink routers in my next upgrade, few days back the Power adapter also gone.

When did you purchase the router, and when did the reboot issue start to happen? Reset the router to factory default after installing the beta firmware.
Does the router feel hot when it reboots itself? Put the router in a well-ventilated location or mount it vertically on a stand that permits the free flow of air, and use a fan to cool the router, a regular fan or USB fan is fine.
You can also try to set the WiFi Transmit Power to low (if the setting is currently set to high), and see if this helps with the reboot.

I purchased the Router a year back. So far iam using it as internal wifi transmitter.
One fine morning couple of months back the router stopped working, after verifing figured it the power adapter unit was not working. So i started using another similar power adapter.
Last week the main Router provided by service provider stopped working. So I replaced that with this C1200, same wifi settings but now it directly connected to service provider network. From that day i notice the wifi keeps dropping, as i am Working from Home i notice the wired connection on my desktop also issue. So couple of times, as soon i drop the connectivity i went and checked the Router in garage. All Lights off and starts after a minute.
My Garage is cooler than the House, temperature wise. Other than 3 mobiles, 1 laptop, alexa and chromecast connecting to wifi....a desktop, a tv were added to wired connections. I dont see much burden added to the Router.
Reset the router to factory default after installing the beta firmware. - I did same last night, still notice the same.
You can also try to set the WiFi Transmit Power to low (if the setting is currently set to high), and see if this helps with the reboot. - wifi transmitter is high as earlier, as suggested will do it low and will monitor.
use a fan to cool the router, a regular fan or USB fan is fine. - I may have to request tplink to provide a usb fan with this Router :)

If the router doesn't feel hot when it reboots itself, there is no need to use a fan to cool it.
Can I confirm what is the power supply you are using now with the router, is it 12 V ⎓ 1 A? Try to lower down the Transmit Power, then monitor.
If the issue persists, and the router is still under warranty, please check with the local tech support if they have other suggestions on this or this needs to be replaced:
