Archer VR900 random error "Please try to configure your DNS manually."
While I have tried many times resting and reconfiguring. I am on the latest Firmware version. Do not have this issue with the other ADLS router I have. Strange thing is sometimes I have to manually reboot the router as it completly stops responding (Wired and wireless). I will check if going back to previous F/W version helps.

When it stops responding, how about status of all lights in the front panel? Can you still login its web interface? If you can, check Diagnostic results.

I am using this on Airtel Broadband service in India connected via ADSL+.
I am now using my old ASUS ADSL router which is working perfectly . I believe VR900 Firmware has bug and may be specific to Service provider.

You have no internet via wireless or wired connection but you can access its web interface at that time, right?
Is it still under warranty?

"Internet Status" also shows as "Disconnected" as well, as you can see. It goes into this state pictured on the screenshot above after it goes through the "Internet Status: Detecting" stage; which is after refreshing the page and within a few (like around 3 to 5) seconds.
At this point, the "Internet", "USB" and "WPS" LEDs are off. I can usually access the internet but however, sometimes Chrome gives some DNS related errors and can not open some pages. I can save and share those errors as well, if required. But they are usually DNS related errors, which show up when the DNS server isn't responding. I guess I'm using VDSL if that's important.
The issue seems to be random, and sometimes gets fixed when I try to ping the DNS servers (which usually respond, and sometimes don't).
I've sent the VR900 to TP-LINK, and the guys told that it had some problems but have fixed them. But after I received it from TP-LINK, it's still having the same issue.
I've made several calls to the ISP and they weren't able to acknowledge any problems with my VDSL service so far.

After some troubleshooting, TP-LINK suggested me to replace the VR900.
We have replaced the unit with a new one, and the problem continues. I'm currently waiting for feedback from TP-LINK support.
