Buenos dias , te comento mi router esta conectado a mi router de mi isp, y el problema es que lo dejo configurado como viene de fabrica solo pongo una red wifi o le cambio de contraseña y nombre , y lo demas lo dejo tal cual como viene en el sistema de fabrica. pero me di cuenta que esto sucede cuando activo la vpn wireguard y agrego mis clientes como surfshark cyber etc . y cual es el problema ? que despues de 8 horas de uso el router se reinicia solo , y se queda parpadeando una luz amarilla en el router. antes no tenia ese problema pero era por que no tenia cliente wireguard activado sino solo clientes openvpn , con la beta me aparecia esa opcion.

My AX90 keeps resetting for no reason. I have already checked all possibilities and the situation repeats itself every time. Restarts occur every few hours or every few days. The router has a beta version installed. The problem occurs in mesh mode and as an AP connected to Omada R605. Regardless of whether 20 or 40 devices are connected. The router is cold. The voltage on the power supply is stable. I checked different 230V sockets. I tried factory reset. There are still Archer C6 and A6 in the network, but regardless of whether they worked as a mesh network or as an AP, only AX90 restarts always occurred.

Could you please provide a detailed network topology that shows how the ER605, AX90, Archer C6, and A6 are connected?
Meanwhile, please provide the firmware details of these devices as well.
Thank you very much.

How to rollback ?
and
I need clear, concrete answers from TP‑Link:
-
Are you actively developing further firmware fixes for the Archer AX90? If so, please provide a release roadmap and realistic ETA for the next beta or stable build that actually fixes these connectivity/traffic-drop issues.
-
If you do not plan to continue updates for this model, please state that clearly now so customers can stop waiting and move on.
-
Is there a recommended immediate workaround or rollback (to a specific stable build) that you guarantee will restore reliable Wi‑Fi until a proper fix is released?
Router running "Access Point Mode", Smart connect off, OFDM+MU-MIMO ON, TWT off.

@ajcorrea I also upgraded the firmware version to Beta 1.2 because of the EasyMash feature. I would like to revert to the previous version. I am unable to downgrade to the official firmware from the official website. Please let me know how to go back.

I solved it in a much better way. I bought the Huawei X3 Pro!! I highly recommend it. TP-LINK has no support; they created a firmware full of bugs and don't give a damn about providing further updates. My AX 90 has become a doorstop!!

@ajcorrea I see you purchased a different product. A while ago, my AX90, which I had been using without problems for several years, suddenly malfunctioned, so I bought a new TP-Link BE550 from the same company. However, I am currently struggling with wireless disconnections and wired connection issues.

The problem was waiting over two years for a TP-Link update for the AX90 that never came.
I eventually updated it to use EasyMesh, but it ended up being terrible; the Wi-Fi became unstable, requiring a router reboot several times a day, week, or month—it was completely random. As the number of automation devices in my home increased, the situation became unsustainable.
Since TP-Link hasn't provided any feedback on whether they will continue to maintain or update this model, I'm tired of waiting.
To restore your AX90, there is a method to force a recovery using either TFTP Recovery or Web Recovery.

@ajcorrea Thank you for your reply. You must have had a hard time. I hope you can use your new router without any worries. I am also thinking about exchanging or returning the BE550 I purchased two days ago; I just can't find a solution.
Could I get detailed assistance regarding TFTP recovery and web recovery?

It has already been 2 years. While other cheaper routers are getting the latest features, while sidelining the more premium products. AX90 is a very capable piece of hardware, but unfortunately easymesh is very very unstable. Wireless and Ethernet backhaul both are totally unusable. Is there any real ETA on atleast getting some basic fixes in a new beta version while TP Link devs are busy rolling out easy mesh to 15-20 usd routers
