I'm running 1.2.6 Build 20231130 rel.74059 on my Archer AX55 v1.0 in an EasyMesh configuration with a Archer AX10 (1.3.9 Build 20230728 Rel. 45716) satellite and Ethernet Backhaul enabled.

 

This has been working without issues for a few weeks, but this morning the Archer AX55 locked up and stopped responding. The web interface was inaccessible. After power cycling it, everything is working again but I'm not seeing anything about the failure in the logs.

Hi, does the issue still happen now? we've run the tests and the issue cannot be reproduced on our end, thus if the issue still happens frequently, we would like to escalate your case to senior engineer, they might need to debug the issue while the issue happens, please confirm.

@Sunshine 

It only happened the one time and it hasn't happened since. Worst kind of issue to debug I know. My network has been stable since I power cycled the AX55. Any advice if it happens again? Otherwise I'll let you know if it reoccurs. 

  @Sunshine 

I have not been observing this on such devices. Likely because they can switch to 5GHz and also between different Wifi networks. The device I have most issues with is the Shelly Uni and a device that is displayed as "Microchip technology". These types of devices can only be configured with a single Wifi setting (name/pwd).

I have set one of my AX55 into AP mode with a different Wifi name and channel. The devices a no problems with this network. This concludes that the issue is with AX55 configured as satellite in a mesh with ethernet backhaul.

Further test I did is with a  RE330 in the mesh network but no ethernet backhaul. There is no issue.

Finally, I conclude that TPLink Wifi6 Mesh is highly fragmented across models and currently broken.

Hello again. i find out some bug: 

 

I cant setup WIFI settings. But i don't have any Wireless Schedule settings active LOL

And i have to click skip anyway to be able change something :D

Hi, may I know if this issue still happens now on AX55 V1 latest beta firmware? If so, please share with us your current network topology and backup a config file on your main Router AX55 V1.

Hey @Sunshine

I always use the latest firmware. I think it was just a visual glitch in the web interface as I back up my settings before updating to new firmware. And the new firmware just shows that something is wrong. The issue was resolved when I clicked and unchecked the wireless schedule settings while the Wi-Fi settings were active again. But I create a new backup file and it works fine with the same firmware. We will see in next firmware update if that bug come to life again :)

 @Sunshine you asking about my topology network.

My connection type is PPPoE and the network looks like this: 

 @Sunshine

But unfortunately I still get a random problem where the main AX55 randomly restarts itself

Before the network was unstable, i login to the router's web interface to check what happen, i saw samba/ftp going crazy in the logs and Easymesh Backhaul connection failure) and few moments later I can't access the router's web interface any more (it shows an error) and few moments later restart itself.

This happens with old and recent firmware. But after restarting everything works fine and smoothly and after  log in again to web interface again don't show any error logs as if nothing happened.

Also the issue still persists after a scheduled/manual restart of the main router.
There is a 50% chance of losing the Ethernet Backhaul with the AX55 satellite, also the AX55 satellite stop response from the main router web interface and I have to manually restart the satellite router to get the connection back as we don't have the restart option in the satellite router web interface.

I write more about it: HERE

Edit:

There is a problem with speed of Storage Sharing

AX 55 as Main

AX 55 as Satellite

 Speed of USB 3.0 its kinda slow on both routers.. I connect my USB DISK and speed is max 20/40MB's while sending by Ethernet 1GBit from PC but in theory should be around 100MB's. If i connect USB disk direct to PC USB 3.0 speed go up to 200/300MB's easy.

i check and that problem is on every beta/offcial firmware.

It's been awhile since I last did any testing.  The router in question is now in AP mode and Issues 2 and 3 do not seem to be problems now.  The only thing that has changed is that I removed a TL-SG105E between the main router and the AP.  I don't remember if the issues occurred while testing in wireless router mode or AP mode.  In any case, I prefer to not do any more testing while everything is up and running OK.
