@Kevin_Z @Dogzdinner @bigbaddon  Sit-update is that I received a new Beta last week for the VR2100, and although it improves (reboot) problems it's highlighted or possibly even caused new ones. 

My VR2100 (with the newest Beta) now suffers from (apparently) random drops of the DSL connection and doesn't recover (some/all of the time). this happens every day or so, but is not consistent. When it does happen, my entire networks' connection to BT (my ISP) gets cut off until I reboot the VR2100. Not good, especially when I'm not available to reboot it.

Bizarrely, (and also) there appears to be conflicts on the status of the VR2100 when this disconnect happens. Some of the status displays on the VR2100 appear to say we're online (including the status lights on the top), and some plainly (and correctly) say we're offline.

@TP-Link  your local UK support engineer Micheal is my liaison

@Kevin_Z 

I used this firmware (https://static.tp-link.com/beta/2021/202106/20210623/Archer_VR600V3_1.4.0_0.9.1_up_boot(210623)_2021-06-23_15.56.38.zip)

but my reboot issue still continue . Is there any other solution or new firmware uptade , why dont you solve this issue?

@KorayC there are newer versions but they're issued to you by your support contact.

BTW, even the latest version has significant problems. One of which is a hanging condition on the DSL line.

My advice, don't use the VR2100 for anything that requires continuous (or even slightly reliable) networking.

I've yet to receive any kind of reply on this from TP Link apart from a nonsensical question about have I got a modem?

Just give me a product that functions correctly?

I wouldn't have purchased a modem router unless I needed, the product is not performing as required and as such needs to be replaced.

it is clear from reading this thread that I am not alone and that TP-Link have done little or nothing to solve the problem. I'm not a beta tester, please replace the product with what I have asked for please.

No further delays!

@bigbaddon 

new code just realised (2021-08-19)  1.5.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 210722 Rel.37847n - lets see how this one goes before i scrap this HW

Modifications and Bug Fixes:
1.Fixed the auto reboot issue in some scenes.
2.Newly supported HUAWEI E3372h-320 dongle.
3.Fixed some security vulnerabilities and enhanced security.
4.Optimized the OneMesh function.
5.Improved 2.4G WiFi performance.
6.Fixed some minor bugs and optimized the overall performance.

@bigbaddon I have    Firmware Version:1.5.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 210810 Rel.63941n installed and that still has the problems I mentioned. I suspect by the build number, mine is newer (than yours).

Needless to say, absolutely no contact from TP-Link!

I will not buy their products again, I will send this product back through amazon and let them deal with it!
