Randomly devices are not connecting to the internet when connecting through WiFi
Hi All
I have a problem with my Archer VR600 router which gives me little bit of a head ache, i hope someone can provide some advice.
So in the last few weeks I have the following problem, all device can connect to my WiFi, however it seems that randomly devices are not having inster connection.
They are connecting to my home WiFi, without issue but unable to get to the net.
I made no changes to the config of the router, there was no update. I also reset the router with a pin and recreated the whole config.
When i check the device Debug log I see no issue.
However it is annoying as it is happen randomly and sometimes does not even realise and the mobile devices are switching from WiFi to 4G.
Also my smart devices/lights are not working randomly.
In the wireless config the WiFi schedule is not active, but the Smart Connect function is enabled. The transmitting power is set to maximum.
I tried to adjust the IP lease time cut it to 720 min instead of the default, so the devices would get a new IP every 12 hours but it did not help.
I also incresed the size of the DHCP IP pool, but i have way less devices like available IPs.
The LAN side of the router works perfectly. I have a TP Link TL-WA850RE extender, which have its own indenpendent WiFi NW and it works perfectly.
Beside this I also have a TP Link AC1900 WiFi extender which is extending the original WiFi NW created by the router.
As mentioned none of the settings were changed prior to the issue and the extenders were used/present since I have this router and until recently had no issue.
I hope someone can provide some further advice to check. TIA
