Phenomenon Description:
Some users have encountered internet dropouts with the Archer MR500 and MR550 routers after a certain period of normal operation. When attempting to log into the web page, an error message is displayed, indicating that the internet is not connected.

Further Troubleshooting Suggestions:
If the problem still exists after installing the above beta firmware, please provide the following information for further troubleshooting:
1. When the issue happens again, please login the web interface, share with us screenshots of Advanced->Status page, Advanced->Network->Internet page.
2. When the issue happens again, please go to Advanced->System Tools->System Log page and save a log file(don't restart the router, or previous logs will be cleared)
3. Detailed description of the issue and let us know how often it happens.

It's really weak that I don't get an answer. TP-Link sell a product which is not working, take money from customers for it and don't even tell us if there will be a solution in the near future. Really weak...

Same problem here:
Purchased on 3rd August a MR550 using Fastweb 4G sim card and I have same issue of other guys here: Internet disconnection without any alternative to reboot. This happens randomly several times per day too
Can you please support?
I didn't try with a beta firmware yet. Which I should download?
Thanks

@Sunshine I've bought new MR550 from Amazon at 26 August 2024
It doesn't work from new. I looked through this thread, updated firmware..... No luck. Disconnections.
What I can see problem is:
Router DHCP server isn't working. I have only 23 TP Link smart devices on this router and router is able to identify exactly 10 (random) devices. A hour later router picks up another 10. But never can recognize on app more than 20 of them even all 23 are functioning.
Router is starting failing this way: DHCP server fails and disconnects WiFi user. However router is still connected to 4G and accessible via Tether App.
Cut story short: if on Wi-Fi I have 2-3 users , then router is stable.
If I have more than 5 users - DHCP crashes and later router all together loosing 4g connection
It is not hardware fault. If I create Guest account then Router is OK with 5+ users on main and guest account. As soon as traffic increases, software fails.
Router handles 1-2 users 5-6 Mbps. But 3 users using Windows will crash DHCP and later 4G
It seems software is faulty. I agree with other users observations that router cannot handle 4G 20+ MBps WiFi traffic if it has 5 or more WiFi users.
In my case it crashes when I try to Watch any 2K TP-Link CCTV camera or download footage.

@Sunshine I see there is a new Firmware released on 2024-08-30 Archer MR500(EU)_V1_240507 Does this now supersede the Beta Firmware Archer_MR500(EU)_V1_1.7.0_Build_20231122 and has anyone got any experience of using this? Does this fix the problems discussed on this thread?
My ArcherMR500 is pretty stable using the Beta firmware so I am reluctant to upgrade in case it makes things worse.

Transferring PasaLoad from Smart to TNT is quick and easy because Smart and TNT are part of the same network. Here’s a simple guide to help you transfer from a Smart number to a TNT number:
Steps to Transfer PasaLoad:
- Open your SMS app on your Smart phone.
- Compose a new message with the format:
- Send the message to 808.
Important Notes:
- The recipient's number (TNT) should be in 10-digit format (e.g., 0912xxxxxxx).
- You can transfer amounts ranging from ₱1 to ₱100 per transaction.
- There may be a ₱1 service fee for each transaction, so make sure you have enough balance.
- Both the sender and the receiver must be using prepaid accounts.
That's all! The recipient should receive the load almost instantly after the transaction.https://simcardregistration.ph/
