Losing connection on AX12, possibly from lastest firmware
Losing connection on AX12, possibly from lastest firmware
Archer AX12 purchased maybe a year ago, never any issues until this week were my WAN connection drops every 10 minute or so, only to come back a few minute later. Router is connected to some kind of hub in the house, and only the devices connected to the router are affected. WAN light turns orange when disconnected.
I've tried to things in the troubleshooting section with no luck, and now I'm trying to revert the firmwave version to the previous one (because it worked) but when i try to do it manually i just get an update error. I've reset the router to factory settings but that didn't seem to change the firmware.
I've used my regions website to get the offical previous firmwave here https://www.tp-link.com/nordic/support/download/archer-ax12/#Firmware
Location: Sweden
ISP: Bahnhof Fiber connection
How do i flash or overwrite the lastest firmware?
Forum won't let me upload my log so I'll post it below.

@Joseph-TP Thanks! Not exactly the same problem, but similar. 5ghz band randomly dropping connections, and only printers connected on 2.4ghz randomly becoming inaccessible to wireless clients whether on 2.4 or 5ghz, but accessible to clients on ethernet.

@Joseph-TP Hey I'm from India and I'm also facing similar issue. Some apps suddenly stop playing videos unless I reboot the router. This never happened before. I tried to downgrade the firmware but it showed update error. Would you please provide the beta firmware you mentioned before?
