Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.16 Build 20201030 rel.55736(4555)

Hi,

 

My TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 router randomly reboots. It reboots almost thrice in a day and every day without fail. This has started happening recently after the latest firmware upgrade. I am using both 2.4G and 5G wireless connection. There are around 5 devices connected including a raspberry pi4 via LAN. I have 4 ports open in the router and UPnP is also enabled.  QOS and Traffic Statistics is disabled. The internet connectivity is through PPPOE. I have a fiber broadband connection and the Archer C7 AC1750 is connected through a Cat 5 cable which is connected to an ONU device. Please find below the router log immediately after reboot. FYI I have not performed a factory reset.

Nothing unusual in that log. If that issue has presented itself (as you mentioned) after a FW upgrade, try to hard reset (Method 1) the router and then configure from scratch. Take notes about your router configuration prior resetting it (for ex. in Notepad).

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".

@Ivaylo Do you think the new fiber broadband connection could be an issue? Also, is it ok to backup the config and restore it after hard reset?

If you have recently upgraded the speed of your broadband connection it could be. It's preferable to do that from scratch. Make some notes in Notepad beforehand (or screenshots if it is more comfortable for you).

@Ivaylo I will do as you asked and will provide a feedback here.
