VR2100 reboots every few hours
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a VR2100 that reboots every few hours connected to PlusNet in the UK on unlimited fibre to cabinet. (VDSL2)
DSL using VDSL2, SNR 6.1 up 2.8 down, Atten 1.2db up 10.8 down.
When it is up, connection is reliable.
When it reboots all lights go and start flashing after a few minutes the DSL connection is re-established.
Case temperature is relatively cool, room temp about 18C, case probably 25C.
Nothing in the logs since they are wiped on every reboot. I will setup a syslogd server to capture logs remotely, just in case.
It is a few months old.
Previous DSL modem was the OpenReach VDSL Modem which never disconnected or rebooted except during power cuts (1 per year).
I have read the other threads with the same problem on the same modem and firmware.
Is there new firmware (even beta) available that will stop it rebooting.
Would be happy to share logs, if you would help get a fix sooner.
If there isnt any fix, I can switch to a spare (old DLink), which the VR2100 was bought to replace.

Thanks a lot for the update, we appreciate it. I hope the latest official firmware helps resolve it, then no need for the beta. Finger crossed.

Router restarted earlier for the first time since I upgraded to 1.4 FW a week ago, so an improvement, but still not right. I'll install the Beta firmware this evening and see if that improves things further.

I thought my router was fixed with the 210107 firmware provided by TP-Link support at the end of Jan 2021.
It was relatively stable only crashing once every other week with no DSL errors, however, in the past week it has crashed at least 5 times a day. No changes to firmware, a few more DHCP clients but still only 9 max and as many as possible are on static IPs not using DHCP at all.
If there is a later firmware, I would be happy to give it a go. I did try 210204 however that was really bad crashing almost every hour.
My suspicion is its the Wifi chipset.
For the moment, its so bad I have got a very old wifi router out the cupboard and am using the original OpenReach modem which is fortunately still working.
