Model: Archer C1200  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.0.3 Build 20211219 Rel. 67401 (EU)

The router loses connection and stuck for about a minute or two. It happens several times a day. I noticed that the upload stops first, but some download traffic still goes through. During this time, the router cannot be accessed. I'm using 5G mobile internet from ISP device (WAN) and sometimes it drops more packets, but why does the whole router stuck?

The logs show only this:

2024-09-08 09:02:08 led-controller[696]: <6> 288051 Start to run WAN1_ON
2024-09-08 09:02:08 led-controller[696]: <7> 288004 WAN1_ON is found

2024-09-08 09:01:08 led-controller[696]: <6> 288051 Start to run WAN0_ON
2024-09-08 09:01:08 led-controller[696]: <7> 288004 WAN0_ON is found
2024-09-08 09:01:08 led-controller[696]: <7> 288003 Led rule name is WAN0_ON
2024-09-08 09:01:08 led-controller[696]: <7> 288001 Receive data length = 132

 

Is there a way to stop it from switching between different WANs and just wait until the 5G network recovers?

Hi,

 

I don't know why the Archer C1200 becomes stuck, but the "led-controller" WAN0 and WAN1 entries in the logs do not refer to different WANs. Led-controller WAN0 and WAN1 refer purely to the two LEDs of the router's "Internet" indicator light. WAN0 should be the orange LED (port is physically connected, but there is no Internet) and WAN1 the green LED (port is physically connected and Internet is available). Basically the log you posted tells you at what time the "Internet" indicator switched to "orange" or "green" (or no light at all).

 

It was explained like this by a TP-Link representative some time ago.

Yes, I read that.
I'm trying to figure out whether the connection drops due to packet loss (ISP) or because the router has stuck.

Actually, I'm not sure if the entire device has stuck; it might just be the web interface that's unresponsive. The background of the page loads, but not the login form. At the moment the connection is restored, the router starts responding.

Are you browsing to the web interface via tplinkwifi.net or via the router's actual IP address? In case it's the former, then check if using the IP address makes any difference. (e.g.  http://192.168.0.1 ) 

 

Also, when the C1200 gets stuck, test whether it becomes resposive immediately if you disconnect the Ethernet cable from its (blue) WAN port.

I am using the IP address. Ok I will try the cable. That's a good idea to locate if its internal device  problem.
