Model: Archer VR400  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: Archer VR400(EU)_V3_1.5.0_220321

Dear TP-Link Support Team,

 

I hope this message finds you well.

 

I recently purchased a TP-Link Archer VR400 V3 modem and have been experiencing a persistent issue with my VDSL connection. Specifically, I am seeing very high numbers of downstream errors, which are severely affecting my internet performance.

 

Here are some details for your reference:

 

Modem model: TP-Link Archer VR400 V3

 

Firmware version: Archer VR400(EU)_V3_1.5.0_220321 (latest version)

 

Connection type: VDSL (ADSL Platinum Plan from IDM Lebanon)

 

Line condition: My ISP confirmed that the VDSL line is clear

 

Filter test: The problem persists both with and without a DSL splitter/filter

 

Location: Lebanon

 

Additional behavior: After unplugging or restarting the modem, the downstream errors reset to 0, but they increase rapidly again within a few minutes.

 

Despite replacing the modem and verifying the physical connection, the issue continues. I would appreciate your assistance in diagnosing the root cause and providing a solution.

 

Thank you in advance for your support.

 

Best regards,

Hi@SOSbh,

Thank you for contacting our community.

 

When the issue occurs, is the DSL light stable and always on?
If you have another DSL cable, please use another DSL cable to test again.
Do you have another modem for comparison? This step is to rule out problems with the DSL line.

 

Please help us collect the following information:

1.backup files and system log;

2.screenshot with error message.

 

You can email to support.forum@tp-link.com, attaching [Forum ID 818648] and details, and we will have a dedicated person to assist in analysis and follow-up.
