Model: Archer C1200  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.0.2 Build 20180118 rel.38979 (EU)

Hello! Overall the Router seems to be working just fine. I do use wireless but I can not say whether it has any issues with it because my Wi-fi usage is not frequent, just few times a day for a short period. However I do use it constantly through a cables connected for 2 PCs at home.

The question I do have is that apparently in my case once every 2 weeks ( give or take ) The router C1200 v2.0 - 2.0.2 Build 20180118 rel.38979 (EU) It stops working, becomes Inactive but at the same time Power lights remains ON but all other lights are OFF. This continues for about 90-120 seconds ( give or take ) and then router starts working again. I noticed since that happened quite a few times already that even If i try to reboot with the button at the back, taking power off and on again etc., This remains : "Power lights remains ON ( Flashing as well)  but all other lights are OFF. This continues for about 90-120 seconds ( give or take ) ". It does not make any difference, router remains inactive with power light ON ( Flashing as well ) and all other light OFF no internet connection or any sign of life aside from the single Light ON. Rebooting or not this window of 2  minutes can't be skipped or anything. 

So my question is that some kind of self-sustainability process ( self-maintenance ) .. Could it be overheating? I have it sitting on top of 2 small wooden sticks placed left side and right side, there is 10mm air space between the bottom of the router and my desk  at all times so I think this should not be overheating issue.

If you have questions I can provide more info.
