Hello Techies,

From last 3 days I am struggling with network drop issue on “TP-Link Archer C80”.

There are errors in the log which you need to consider,

1. DHCPS Lease hostname not found
2. inetd select error abort

The main problem is, router is not able to find the hostname of a device which is connected to your router. Any single device having this hostname issue can drop your network or I would say crash your inetd service.

Login to TP-Link admin portal -> Network Map -> Clients

Go to the above path and check if you have changed the “Device Info” of any device.

I had changed the device info to identify the devices, but it requires either “hostname” of the device or “Unknown” tag.

If you change the “Device Info” router will not able to pick the hostname and it will through you hostname not found error and inetd service will crash.

Solution:

If you have changed the “Device Info” for any of the connected device, change it again to its hostname or “Unknown”.

To check the hostname of windows or linux device:

Open CMD/shell and type command “hostname”, copy this hostname and update in clients.

Please check the screenshot below,

My router is working fine now, but my android TV is not working on router.

Other android devices worked with "Unknown" tag.

Let me know if it works for you.
