Archer AX55 Pro (v1) has become unreliable
I purchased the AX55 Pro almost exactly a year ago and I've been very happy with it. (It was an upgrade from another Archer model and exclusively use TP-Link network devices in One Mesh mode.)
Recently, however, I've been experiencing outages on a weekly basis. The pattern is very much that I go to sleep with everything working fine but then wake up several hours later to find that the network is still visible but with no internet service. (There is nothing to indicate any issues with my cable router.) The only fix is to restart the AX55 Pro. Everything then works OK again only for it to happen again within a matter of days/ a week.
This could be a hardware fault of course but I can't help feeling that these issues started after applying the v1.3.1 update in July.
To clarify my network:
Ground floor: Virgin Media Hub 5 cable router in modem mode > Archer AX55 Pro v1 > TL-WPA8631P Kit v4
First floor: RE705X Range Extender v1
Basement: TL-WPA8631P v4
Out-building: TL-WPA8631P v4
I've set my router to automatically reboot itself once a month. I manually reboot the other devices with the same frequency.
Please can you advise what can be done to fix this problem.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your information.
In addition to check the lights, please also test the stability of the front end. You can refer to the troubleshooting steps here first.

Hi,
You can change the DNS settings on the Archer AX55 Pro.
And please also use a wired device to test if the internet from the Virgin Media Hub 5 is stable or not.
If the issue still exists, please also check the Internet light on the AX55 Pro, is it green or red?

So the network went down again overnight last night.
You previously asked me to take a look at the lights on the AX55 Pro so I did this when I realised I had no network. I can confirm that the lights were off entirely. An explanation for this is that I use the scheduler to switch the lights off between 7pm and 7am every night. However, the local time when I inspected the router was 7:45am so they should have been on. This would suggest to me that the router 'crashed' - which caused the network to go down - and the router wasn't able to turn back the lights per the schedule as it usually would.
Again, I have only seen these issues since the release of v1.3.1.
Please advise me specifically how to progress a solution as this current situation is not acceptable.
Thanks,
TT.

Hi all,
I'm not coming up with some solution, juts want to mention that I'm experiencing exactly same issue.
My Archer AX55 pro gets disconnected from the network.
It's usually happening over night but I've seen the cases when router got disconnected during a day.
It's disconnecting almost every day.
My devices are not getting disconnected from Wi-Fi, but indicating "No internet service".
Internet cannot be accessed through Wi-Fi nor LAN.
All lights on router are green except one - 2nd light from right (next to the USB light).
I'd like to mention that I have 2 same Arche AX55 pro and both indicates the same issue.
After rebooting the router, all issues are fixed and router is running normally.
I can provide the Logs details however I prefer to send it to directly except sharing it here.
I do not understand all details from the logs so I'm not sure what's starting the router to get stuck.
Regards
Jiri
