Archer C7 5Ghz Problem - REQUIRES FIXING ASAP
2013-10-18 16:19:50

Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : Archer C7
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 3.13.33 Build 130729 Rel.56122n
ISP : Plusnet UK
Dear TP Link / Forum users,
As reported here numerous times the Archer C7 has issues with the 5Ghz band and Apple devices (Sometimes my Galaxy S3 too). 2.4Ghz appears to operate fine.
I have tried numerous times to connect my iPad / Macbook Pro / Macbook Pro Retina and although I can connect successfully to the WiFi there is an issue with internet connectivity once connected. TKIP seems to work at times but obviously throughput is slower. WPA2-PSK AES does not work.
This requires fixing ASAP as this is a major bug.
P.S. I am currently working around the issue by leaving my 5Ghz band open and using MAC filtering to prevent access.

I also have very positive results with 140402: my MacBook Air connects at proper ac-speeds after every resume.

After a couple more days, there are still issues with 140402. After a while, I'm still logged out from Facebook chat in Adium and I noticed that with this new beta, facebook.com itself is not available as well. DNS lookup for the domain works, but accessing the IP address (through browser or by pinging) fails, it just stalls and timeouts eventually. With earlier firmware the Facebook website itself could load properly, but many images were missing then. Now it's all or nothing. Switching to 2.4 and back to 5GHz helps, just as before.
Note that during these weird situations, only Facebook has problems. All other sites I can still be accessed properly.

Same for me, 140402 has run more stably than the prior versions, however, issues persist, at time I still am forced to reboot the router due to loss of access to the internet, some computers continue being properly routed, others stop, nothing on the network or internet is accessible. Now the positive side, I have an open RMA now for a v2 version of the hardware, we'll see how well it behaves as compared to the v1 I've been using, I have to say I appreciate TP-Link standing behind their product and taking care of the issue via RMA.

What exactly IS the RMA procedure?
Where do I find it?

Intermittently 5Ghz signal is disconnected in some smartphone. ex/ iPhone 5S and new iPad

And so on.
Please fix it asap.

I received my v2 replacement router today, after the initial configuration I'm seeing slightly stronger signal than from my v1 (or I might be imaging that), the auto channel select is working for 5Ghz, whereas it wasn't on the v1, not sure about the auto channel select on 2.4Ghz yet, InSIDDer says I should move to a different channel than elected by the router, it's currently using 6+10. Currently general web surfing seems faster, pages are loading faster than they did through the v1 product, we'll see how that holds up long term, also need to check the iPad and IPhone to see how they respond. Tomorrow I'll be checking VOIP to see if that behaves any differently, I'm certainly hopeful.

Hi,
Please keep posting your thoughts and observation for the V2 hardware.
I asked for RMA to replace mine V1 , but support person asked me to try out beta first. I'm not seeing any much improvement with beta firmware so would likely to go with RMA and replace it with V2.
however, I would like to get your feedback of V2 hardware to see if there is really a performance benefit with V2 over V1.
