Model: Archer AX20  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.5 Build 20211231 rel.53949(4555)

This is a problem that i've narrowed down to the router itself, as i have a virgin router (in modem mode) - and the sites which dont connect work fine on there.

I get the error: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT when trying to visit a few websites, one of them being for a piece of software i use daily. They also work fine if i hotspot my 4G from my phone to my laptop.

 

I reset both the virgin hub and the AX20 back to factory settings, left unplugged overnight. And it worked, once. Then back to the same errors.

I changed the DNS' to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but this made no difference, checked all the settings, parental controls etc.

 

The only thing I can think of, was the firmware update which was applied the night before these issues started happening, however i rolled back to the 2 previous versions available on the TP link website and tried them both - but nothing changed. I've used this router for 3-4 months now with absolutely no issues at all, any ideas or thoughts are appreciated!

I forgot to mention in the original post, yes - it worked when connected directly to the virgin hub. Which is why I'd narrowed it down to the TP Link router, but turns out it was a (weird) issue on virgins end which was resolved not long after putting this post up.

@Rjones94 Hello!

 

Try cloning MAC address in router's settings. If that doesn't help you, change MTU size to 1480.

Thanks for reaching out to us. 

If you connect your computer directly to your virgin router bypass TP-Link router, will you get the same issue?

If not, please try to clone your computer's MAC address to the TP-Link router and see if it helps.

You may refer to situation1 in this guide to conduct MAC Clone

How do I configure MAC Address Clone on my TP-Link Archer Router?
